Perth Scorchers will Win
Perth ScorchersMelbourne StarsPerth Scorchers are currently struggling with their opening batting lineup. In their last game, the Scorchers were at 72/6 but all thanks to Ashton Turner who lead the chase successfully. Josh Inglis, Aaron Hardie, and Jhye Richardson are the key players in the team.
However, if Scorchers’ opening order is gone too soon then the whole team will be in trouble and things will become a bit finicky. Team management will be hoping for a better performance from the opening batters in the upcoming game.
Melbourne Stars gave up easily in front of Sydney Sixers in the last game. The batters scored 150 runs which were made possible with the help of Beau Webstar’s 78 runs inning. The Stars are coming out as a weaker team in the opening batting lineup and their spin section. The team is unable to pick wickets in the middle overs and their opening batters are failing in almost every game.
If the stats of both teams are compared, Perth Scorchers is a stronger team. They have good depth in their batting and we predict that the Scorchers won’t find any difficulty to score a win against the Stars.
