TEAMS PREVIEW

Perth Scorchers Preview

Perth Scorchers batting unit failed miserably in the opening match with only 4 players scoring runs in double digits. Skipper Mitchell Marsh (32 runs) and Cameron Green (36 runs) joined to take their team from 29/4 to 87/5 and it was the only substantial partnership for them. Cameron Bancroft, Liam Livingstone, and Ashton Turner failed with the bat in the last match and will look to make a mark in this match. Ashton Agar and Jhye Richardson opened the bowling and were taken for runs at an economy of over 12 RPO easily.

Chris Jordan was the only bowler who took 2 wickets in the match but was not enough to trouble the Sixers chase. Fawad Ahmed and Mathew Kelly will round up their bowling attack as the fourth and fifth bowlers of the team.

Key Players:

Josh Inglis – Josh Inglis took on the bowling attack despite wickets falling around him with 22 runs of 16 balls in the powerplay. But, he needs to spend more time in the crease so as to provide a good start.

Chris Jordan – Chris Jordan is one of the most improved bowlers in the last 2 years in the T20 circuit. He had match figures of 2/13 in the 3 overs the last match. He will look to trouble the batsmen with his accuracy and variations in this match.

Perth Scorchers Predicted Playing XI:

Mitchell Marsh (c), Chris Jordan, Cameron Bancroft, Ashton Turner, Ashton Agar, Fawad Ahmed, Matthew Kelly, Liam Livingstone, Jhye Richardson, Josh Inglis (wk), Cameron Green

Harry Gurney and Kane Richardson bowled good spells and had combined match figures of 8-0-44-2.

Winning Prediction

Both teams lost in their opening matches but Scorchers were outplayed and lost the match in just 15 overs into the chase.

Melbourne Renegades have good attacking top-order batsmen when compared to the Perth Scorchers but lack the firepower in the middle order. Both teams have promising but inexperienced bowling attack. We predict Melbourne Renegades to win this match.

Melbourne Renegades will win the match!
