Teams Status

Brisbane Heat

The Heat were well beaten by Sydney Thunder in their opening match of the tournament, and the main culprits for their loss were their batters.

The pairing of Chris Lynn and Max Bryant failed early, and even though Sam Heazlett and Ben Duckett stabilized the ship with 42 and 46, no one else really played their part, except for Xavier Bartlett (26).

The score of 140 was never going to prove enough, and it didn’t, even though Bartlett and Liam Guthrie’s early wickets did have Sydney in a spot of bother.

Another worrying piece of stat for Brisbane is that they have lost four of their last five matches to Perth – and all by sizable margins.

Perth Scorchers

This will be Perth’s first game of the tournament. They were the losing finalists last year, with them having to watch rivals Sydney Sixers lift the trophy.

To make sure that a final heartbreak does not happen again, the Scorchers have made a few more impressive signings. Tearaway pacer Lance Morris has joined from Melbourne Stars and so have spinner Peter Hatzoglou and England’s Laurie Evans.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Best Bowler On Brisbane Heat – Mujeeb Ur Rahman @ 2.9

In the defeat to Thunder, Mujeeb went wicketless but it is not like he did bowl well. He kept runs dry for the Thunder batters but was unlucky to not pick up any scalps as he conceded just 25 in his four overs. Mujeeb, one of the world’s best spinners, does NOT eat often. Expect a reaction from him. The odds have been sourced from 22Bet.

Tip: Chris Lynn total runs over 22.5 @ 1.85

With no Tom Banton this year, Chris Lynn has a greater responsibility than usual to wreak havoc up top. He failed at the job in the last game but it is not often that he fails in back-to-back innings. We are backing him to find his share of runs in this game. The odds have been sourced from Sportsbet.

Conclusion

Perth’s record against Brisbane speaks for itself. This is again one of the most consistent franchises in the Big Bash League so unless it shows signs of attrition, we cannot and should not premeditate that.
