HEA vs SCO, Match 32- Toss Factor

The Gabba is known for a pacers den and have good pace and bounce for the pacers. Seam movement is prominent with the new ball but it isn't completely against the batters as they get to score runs as the game progresses. The spinners get less assistance here.

Scenario: If Scorchers field first

The Perth Scorchers haven't lost a match this season while chasing a total. Henceforth, they're a strong chasing side that have overhauled the asking number on three occasions this season. Zak Crawley, Laurie Evans and Josh Inglis have been quite promising with the numbers behind their name and could be a valuable option.

Scenario: If Heat fields first

Colin Munro kicked off the tourney with a bash this year and is the leading run-getter for the Brisbane side. The team has been quite formidable as a unit. Characters like Paul Walter and Michael Neser can be a good option in this venue.


HEA vs SCO, Match 32- Top Captain and Vice-captain choices

Scenario: If Perth Scorchers field first

Josh Inglis (HEA): The wicketkeeper-batter recently scored a century against India post the 2023 World Cup triumph. He has been a great asset for the Perth-based franchise in the middle order and can play pace and spin well. Inglis hasn't piled up huge chunk of runs this season but he seems to be in good touch with a big number just around the corner.

Paul Walter (HEA): In T20 cricket, one needs an individual like Walter who could just do the needful at the need of the hour. Walter has bagged ten wickets from six innings thus far and has been exceptional with his finishing abilities with the willow in hand. The all-rounder is at his best and one should not miss an opportunity to rely on him for the multiplier points.


Scenario: If Brisbane Heat fields first

Colin Munro (HEA): The New Zealand batter has been in good form with the bat and has scored two fifties in the season so far. He also missed another half-century by just four runs. Munro is the leading run-getter for the home side and he is expected to continue with his good touch.

Aaron Hardie (SCO): The all-rounder is touted to be one of the future of Australian cricket. Hardie has been scoring runs after being promoted at the top of the order and he is also more than handy with the ball. He has stockpiled 273 runs this season for his franchise.


HEA vs SCO, Match 32- Big Risk, Big Return Choices

Zak Crawley (SCO): The English top-order batter is not an aggressor but he has his own charisma. Crawley scored a fifty in the last game against the Sydney Thunder in the Sydney Showground Stadium but lacks consistency. 

Michael Neser (HEA): The conditions of Gabba suit the bowling style of Michael Neser. He is a great option with the new ball and on his day, can topple the opposition for fun. Neser is also an improved batter and could score quick runs lower down the order.
