TEAMS PREVIEW
Brisbane Heat Preview
Brisbane Heat have been the standout team this season, winning six wins in eight matches. They are undefeated so far as two of their matches were abandoned.
In an interesting development, Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne have been made available for the team’s next match. The presence of Khawaja and Labuschagne, who played in the season opener against the Melbourne Stars, poses a selection conundrum for Heat. The outcome of their clashes against the reigning champions Scorchers is crucial, as it will likely decide the top spot and the privilege of hosting the Qualifier final on January 19.
Skipper Colin Munro has been the team’s most successful batter this season, smashing 222 runs in 6 innings at an average of 44.40 and a strike rate of 144.15.
The team will also look at Nathan McSweeney (142 runs in 5 innings at an average of 35.50 and a strike rate of 111) to get some useful runs in the middle.
Among the bowlers, Brisbane have two extremely reliable wicket-takers in Xavier Bartlett (13 wickets in 6 innings this season at an economy of 7.47) and Paul Walter (10 wickets in 6 innings at 7.94).
Brisbane Heat Predicted Playing XI:
Usman Khawaja, Colin Munro (c), Nathan McSweeney, Marnus Labuschagne, Sam Billings (wk), Paul Walter, Michael Neser, Xavier Bartlett, Spencer Johnson, Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Kuhnemann

Perth Scorchers Preview
Perth Scorchers have had a good season so far, with five wins and just one loss. They are coming off a convincing 7-wicket win against Sydney Thunder where they chased down a target of 138 with five balls remaining.
Aaron Hardie has been their star batter this season, scoring 273 runs in 7 innings at an average of 54.60 and a strike rate of 134.
Another batter worth watching out for is Josh Inglis. The hard-hitting wicket-keeper batter has been instrumental in Perth’s success this year, with 175 runs in 6 innings at an average of 58.33 and a strike rate of 133.5.
Coming to the bowlers, you need not look any further than Lance Morris and Jason Behrendorff, who have both taken 9 wickets each. Then there’s the ever-reliable Andrew Tye (7 wickets in 6 innings at 8.47) as well. With these three, Perth easily has one of the most potent bowling attacks in the competition.
Perth Scorchers Predicted Playing XI:
Zak Crawley, Sam Whiteman, Aaron Hardie (c), Josh Inglis (wk), Laurie Evans, Cooper Connolly, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Hamish McKenzie, Lance Morris

BH vs PRS
Winning Prediction
Perth Scorchers hold an impressive 14-7 head-to-head record against Brisbane Heat. Additionally, Brisbane has failed to secure a victory against them in their past five meetings. Brisbane, however, will be confident, as they are the table-toppers and are playing at home. Having said that, we feel that Perth will maintain their winning streak against them, owing mostly to their superior bowling attack.
We are backing Perth Scorchers as the winners of this game.
