Perth Scorchers beat Brisbane Heat by 30 runs
Brisbane Heat aim to go through to qualifiers undefeated, but they have Perth Scorchers standing in their way. A 23-run defeat against the Heat at Gabba is enough motivation for the Scorchers who will be looking forward to capitalise on their home advantage and exact revenge in the reverse fixture come Saturday evening.
- Michael Neser’s all-round show tilted the balance of the match in favour of the Heat.
- The 23-run win at Gabba helped the Heat snap a 6-match losing streak against the men from Western Australia.
- Scorchers still dominate the head-to-head record (14-8) by some distance and will be looking to pay back.

PRS vs BH Match Prediction & Analysis
It’s time for the rematch at Optus Stadium, Perth. The top two teams in the table, also last year’s finalists, are going to face off in an epic weekend clash that will decide whether Scorchers will finish the group stage in the top two slots or not.
Michael Neser (64* (30) & 2/31) reminded everyone what a valuable player he is in this format with a match-winning effort with both bat and ball. His heroic efforts proved to be the difference between the two teams, which Scorchers ended up losing by 23 runs. And this comfortable win has added a bit of excitement to the qualification scenarios of each team in contention now.
Perth Scorchers, with two matches to go, will be hoping to avenge their defeat from three days ago and give themselves the best chance to finish as the second-best team in the group stages. Brisbane Heat, though, will want to carry the winning momentum through to the qualifiers.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Perth Scorchers Preview
Perth Scorchers do trip up once in a while, but they've often shown they can’t be kept down for long. They are a champion side that always looks to bounce back with a bang. That’s exactly what Aaron Hardie’s man will be looking at doing, as they face off Brisbane Heat at home for a crucial clash that will seal their fate in the table.
A comfortable 7-wicket victory against the Thunder remains their only solace in what has been their most disappointing week in this season where they have been defeated twice- one against the Heat and another against the Sixers. They’d be livid with themselves for letting the Heat off the hook after having them pinned down nicely at 91/5 at the start of 13th over. Ashton Agar with the ball and Laurie Evans with the bat continued their good form, making vital contributions that kept the men in Orange in the hunt.
Pace bowlers Jason Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson had an off day and so did the three order batsmen who threw away their wickets after a sedate start. Back at their backyard, Perth Scorchers will now hope to quickly regroup and finish their group stage strongly with two wins from two matches.
Perth Scorchers Predicted Playing XI:
Zak Crawley, Sam Whiteman, Aaron Hardie (c), Josh Inglis (wk), Laurie Evans, Cooper Connolly, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Hamish McKenzie, Jason Behrendorff, Lance Morris.

Brisbane Heat Preview
Brisbane Heat could barely put a foot wrong in this year’s BBL campaign. Brisbane Heat defeated Perth Scorchers comfortably, putting an end to a 6-match losing streak.
The only undefeated team so far, they’ll want to wrap up the group stages with another win and go into the home qualifiers with that record intact. That would be such a feat and give them plenty of confidence, which they seemed to lack in last year’s grand finale.
Another win on Saturday night at the Optus Stadium would help Brisbane Heat get an edge over Perth Scorchers mentally, bolstering their chances of going all the way to take out the title after having come agonizingly close last season. The entire squad is contributing well, and they’re winning matches from unbelievable positions.
Take all-rounder Michael Neser for example. He chipped in with the ball and bat and also produced a ripper of a catch dismissing Josh Inglis when he was about to cut loose. Spencer Johnson and Paul Walter have been impressive at the death and the opposition haven’t been able to score quick runs against them in the back end of the innings.
The Heat have a strong team at the moment and the return of some of their test players have only increased their confidence.
Brisbane Heat Predicted Playing XI:
Usman Khawaja (c), Colin Munro, Marnus Labuschagne, Sam Billings (wk), Matt Renshaw, Paul Walter, Michael Neser, Xavier Bartlett, Spencer Johnson, Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Kuhnemann.

The match is happening at the Optus Stadium in Perth, where the home team has a spotless track record this season (3 out of 3). They blew away the Hobart Hurricanes and Adelaide Strikers, and dug deep to snatch a win from the jaws of defeat against the Melbourne Renegades.

Perth Scorchers will look to bat first and pile on the runs, should the bat flip go their way.

Winning Prediction
Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat get ready for another face-off. The Heat snapped a 6-match losing streak against Scorchers with a comfortable victory at the Gabba three days ago, but defeating the Scorchers in their own yard won’t be easy.
