Preview
Although the Perth Scorchers occasionally make mistakes, their track record indicates that they are not easily defeated. They are a winning team that constantly aims to make a big comeback. When they take on Brisbane Heat at home in a match that will determine their fate in the standings, it is precisely what Aaron Hardie’s man will be trying to accomplish.
Their only comfort in what has been their most disappointing week of the season thus far—two losses, one to the Heat and another to the Sixers—remains to be a comfortable 7-wicket triumph over the Thunder. They would be furious with themselves for letting the Heat off the hook at the beginning of the 13th over, when they had them comfortably trapped at 91/5. The Orange men were able to stay in the game because to the crucial contributions made by Laurie Evans at bat and Ashton Agar with the ball.
The three order batsmen who gave up wickets after a calm start, along with pace bowlers Jason Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson, had a poor day. Now that they are back in their own backyard, the Perth Scorchers will aim to swiftly get back on track and wrap up their group stage campaign with two victories from two games.
Full Squad:
Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorff, Cooper Connolly, Aaron Hardie, Nick Hobson, Josh Inglis, Matthew Kelly, Mitch Marsh, Hamish McKenzie, Lance Morris, Jhye Richardson, Ashton Turner, Andrew Tye, Sam Whiteman, Zak Crawley, Laurie Evans, Stephen Eskinazi

Preview
The Brisbane Heat had an almost flawless BBL season this year. Brisbane Heat ended a six-game losing streak with an easy victory over Perth Scorchers.
Being the only unbeaten team thus far, they will aim to finish the group stages with a victory so they can carry that record into the home qualifiers. They would have a lot of confidence after pulling off such a feat, something they didn’t seem to have in the big finals last year.
After coming agonizingly close to winning the title the previous season, Brisbane Heat would have a psychological advantage over Perth Scorchers with another victory on Saturday night at Optus Stadium. They are winning games from amazing positions, and every member of the squad is making a good contribution.
Consider Michael Neser, an all-around player. In addition to providing support with the ball and bat, he made an incredible catch to remove Josh Inglis just as he was ready to cut loose. The opposition hasn’t been able to score fast runs against Spencer Johnson and Paul Walter at the end of the inning because of their outstanding play at the finish of the game.
Right now, the Heat are a formidable team, and their confidence has only grown since some of its test players have returned.
Full Squad:
Xavier Bartlett, Sam Billings (England), Josh Brown, Max Bryant, Spencer Johnson, Usman Khawaja, Matthew Kuhnemann, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan McSweeney, Colin Munro (New Zealand), Michael Neser, Jimmy Peirson, Will Prestwidge, Matthew Renshaw, Mitchell Swepson, Jack Wildermuth, Paul Walter (England), Jack Wood.
