Big Bash League, Scorchers vs Heat: Preview, Fantasy Tips and Prediction

It is the 33rd match of the Big Bash League with Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat having a go at each other at the Perth Stadium.

While the Scorchers are placed second on the table with five wins in seven games, their rivals so far have been able to succeed in just two matches out of the seven played. The Perth-based side are here after losing their game against Sydney Thunders whereas Heat's previous game against Sydney Sixers ended in their favour.

Scorchers will dearly miss the services of pacer Jhye Richardson who is ruled out for atleast a few weeks whereas Brisbane would be relying on their all-rounder Michael Neser who has bowled pretty well in this competition.
