Perth Scorchers Preview: Victory seals passage to knockout stage

Perth Scorchers have nine points to their name heading into their final league stage game of this year, keeping them in fourth-place. Two more points here ensures post-season WBBL cricket for the Scorchers and they’ll be hoping that home advantage can help them over the line. Defeat though, would end their campaign.

Hobart Hurricanes preview: Only a win keeps their season alive 

Hobart Hurricanes have been one of the positive stories across this season’s WBBL, with everyone used to seeing them struggle. To go into their final match with a realistic shot at a play-off place is a testament to how well they’ve done, but it would serve as little consolation if they were to lose here and miss out.

Perth Scorchers Betting Analysis

Perth Scorchers will likely be banking on Beth Mooney stepping up for them here in her quest to overtake Ellyse Perry as this season’s top WBBL run-scorer. Mooney has racked up 336 runs across nine innings as opposed to Perry’s 391 and averages 37.33. She is a consistent scorer for Perth and at the WACA, is well worth backing via the ‘Batter Milestones’ market to add on another 30+ runs vs Hobart.

Hobart Hurricanes Betting Analysis

Whilst Perth can call upon Beth Mooney for runs, the Hurricanes boast Lizelle Lee among their top order, who has just four runs less than Mooney over the course of the tournament so far. Lee racked up consecutive hundreds earlier in the league stage and can take this game away from the Scorchers with one good innings. Consider backing Lee to score over 21.5 match runs.

Perth Scorchers vs Hobart Hurricanes Expert Prediction

Whilst Hobart Hurricanes have had a really good campaign, it’s hard not to think about the history of their franchise and the endless disappoints which have come their way. The psychological factor of consistently falling short cannot be underestimated when taking into account the importance of this game. Perth Scorchers meanwhile, have experience of getting over the line in crunch fixtures and can rely on home advantage in this particular contest. That makes them to side worth favouring.
