Perth Scorchers will win
Melbourne StarsPerth ScorchersMelbourne Stars looks like a well-balanced team when it comes to the BBL tournament this year. They have good depth in their batting lineup and have one of the strongest bowling attacks in the tournament. Joe Clark scored a century in the last game at a strike rate of 152.03 and gave his team a winning momentum against Hobart Hurricanes.
Nathan Coulter-Nile, Luke Wood, and skipper Adam Zampa make a good trio in the bowling attack. The only major concern for the Stars is the declining form of Marcus Stoinis.
Perth Scorchers have come out as a dominating team against the Melbourne Stars as they have defeated the Stars in the last three meetings. Perth’s major concern right now is their middle order which is unable to score runs. Ashton Turner and Aaron Hardie will have to pull up their socks to make sure they are contributing to the team.
Hardie is still successful with the ball more than his bat. Jhye Richardson and Andrew Tye are doing a commendable job in the bowling attack.
The upcoming fixture of Melbourne Stars vs Perth Scorchers is expected to be a close game. However, Perth Scorchers have the upper hand against the Stars and they will win the match.
