Remember what we had said when Perth scorchers clashed with unbeaten Adelaide strikers side in their previous game?? Ya that's right we said watch out for Scorchers they can defend almost anything.And they have done exactly the same when they defended low score and won by 18 runs to stop the unbeaten run of Strikers. For Defending champions Perth Scorchers win here at their home WACA will almost seal their place in the top four.
While for Heat Its become very crucial to win now after loosing some tight matches last week.Their batsman looked in great touch but somebody needs to play a long inning to secure them 2 points here.While for Perth batsman continued to struggle and Skipper Voges has stepped up with bat to give his bowlers something to defend in their last clash against Strikers. Return of Ever young Bradd Hogg has made their bowling more dangerous to tackle while their pacers Behendroff continued to dominate the tournament as top bowler.For Heats Lynn,pierson, looked good while in bowlers Tyre is not far behind Behendroff with nine wickets so far in league.
Team News - Perth have been looking to change nothing in the squad and they dont need to when everyone is fit to play and giving winning combination.It just that spinner James Murihead will have to rest now for longer to play in league after Hoggy returns. The Brisbane Heat has to make a force change as allrounder Dan Christian to miss the game due to a thumb injury and another allrounder Simon Milenko will replace him.Friddie Flintoff is also all set to play.While in bowling Tyre and kiwi spinner Daniel Vettori role will be crucial.
If we see overall Scorchers will rely on their bowling once again and Heats will be looking for any of top batsman in form to show a match winning play.As its a Do or Die for The James Hopes's men we expect them to avoid chasing against Adam Voges's bowlers and get points here.
Prediction - Brisbane Heats to win!!
