THE PREDICTION
This should be a stiff examination for Perth Scorchers away from home to a team who have already beaten them earlier in the tournament. However, that was a Thunder side with the likes of Alex Hales within their ranks and he won’t be around for this one. Despite this, having David Warner coming in to replace him at the top of the order is a big fillet for the hosts with the Australian international star set to make his first BBL appearance since 2013. It may take time for Warner to adapt to life back in the BBL and the Scorchers represent a trial by fire for his first game. Ultimately, the overall strength-in-depth which Perth have in their favour makes them worth backing to secure a narrow victory.
