Brisbane Heat will square off against Perth Scorchers in the 37th match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 at The Gabba, Brisbane on Wednesday, January 11. 

Brisbane Heat are having a dreadful BBL season as they have managed to eke out just two wins out of the eight matches they played thus far in the tournament.

While the likes of Colin Munro and Sam Billings have done well in chunks, the Brisbane-based club have struggled to get going as a unit. They are currently languishing at the bottom of the table. 

As for Perth Scorchers, they have truly played like defending champions despite missing the services of their key players. They have won six matches out of the eight they played so far in the competition.

The Scorchers are currently occupying the second position in the points table and must be looking to continue their good run of form in the tournament. With two valuable points for grabs, an exciting T20 game beckons in Brisbane.
