THE LOWDOWN

PERTH SCORCHERS

  • With one game to go, the Perth Scorchers have the Sydney Sixers on their tail at the top-of-the-table. The Scorchers sit three points clear of the Sixers but the Sydney franchise have two games left to play.
  • Perth come into this on the back of a comfortable seven-wicket victory over the Hobart Hurricanes the other day. The hosts have won four of their last five Big Bash matches.

MELBOURNE RENEGADES

  • The Melbourne Renegades have won six and lost six of their 12 2022/23 Big Bash matches as they sit third in the table, ahead of the Sydney Thunder on net run rate as they seek to avoid the playoff eliminator.
  • The Renegades’ most recent outing was an eight-wicket defeat at the Sydney Thunder the other day. They are fighting to finish third but have lost two of their last three with their one win coming against bottom-of-the-table Melbourne Stars.

THE PREDICTION

Both teams have something fairly crucial but not necessarily defining to play for so it should come down to who is simply better and that is a fairly emphatic home win. The Perth Scorchers have won ten and lost just three matches in their opening 13 games so far; it would be very bizarre if the hosts were to slip up, especially in Western Australia, against an inconsistent outfit. A home win is the way to go for this one.
