Perth Scorchers are favourites to win

Who will win Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat bbl today match

Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat will be up against each other on January 5. This 17th fixture of the ongoing Big Bash League 2016-17 is scheduled to be played at the Western Australia Cricket Association Ground, Perth. The match begins at 4:10 PM local time.

Toss

Toss is going to be a key factor in this match as the last three matches at the WACA have been won by the side batting first. Therefore, the team that wins the toss on Thursday may look to bat first and put pressure on the opposition by posting a big score. Betting on Perth Scorchers should be a good idea if they bat first. They did so in their two games at this ground this season and went on to register wins in both of them.

Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing 11

Team News

A hamstring injury to captain Adam Voges is the only concern for the Scorchers at the moment with the rest of the squad in good physical condition. No replacement has been announced for Voges as of yet and he is expected to recover in time.

Key Players

Ian Bell, Mitchell Marsh and Michael Klinger have been the pick of their batting lineup so far. The three batted well in the last game against Sydney Thunder and are expected to do well here too. Perth Scorchers will rely on their fast bowlers David Willey, Andrew Tye and Mitchell Johnson with the ball. Willey is currently the season's second-highest wicket-taker in BBL 2016-17 and we predict him to come up as the most threatening of the lot.

Recent Form

Perth Scorchers are going along nicely in their title defence. They are currently the table toppers with three wins and a solitary loss from their four league matches so far. They beat Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Thunder in their last two matches.

Perth Scorchers Predicted XI

  • SE Marsh, M Klinger, IR Bell, MR Marsh, AC Voges (c), AJ Turner, SM Whiteman (wk), JA Richardson, AJ Tye, DJ Willey and MG Johnson.

Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11

Team News

James Vince is set to replace fellow English batsman Eoin Morgan who, after Wednesday's game against Melbourne Stars, will be heading off to India for National duty. No further changes are expected in the side for this match.

Key Players

Sydney Thunder will have their hopes pinned on Ryan Gibson and Shane Watson to get the big runs for them. Pat Cummins is their leading run-scorer and he could be handy down the order. Chris Green is among the season's top 5 bowlers with six wickets from five matches in this BBL season and we predict the offspinner to finish with the best bowling figures against the Hurricanes.

Recent Form

After losing their first four league matches in a row, Sydney Thunder have finally got off the mark on the points table with a last-ball six-wicket win over Melbourne Stars in their last match. They have always ended up on the losing side each time they have played at the Bellerive Oval in the past.

Brisbane Heat Predicted XI

  • JJ Peirson (wk), BB McCullum (c), CA Lynn, AI Ross, JA Burns, BCJ Cutting, JD Wildermuth, MT Steketee, ND Buchanan, MJ Swepson and S Badree.

 

­Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat Head to Head Head to Head

Perth Scorchers have clearly been the more successful side when it comes to head-to-head stats as they have beaten Brisbane Heat four times in their past six attempts. The two teams have faced each other four times at the WACA with the Scorchers again leading the scoreline 3-1.

­Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat Betting Odds

Perth Scorchers have the home advantage and they have done impressively well at the WACA in recent times, winning four out of their past five matches here. They won their last two games and are coming as favorites to win this game at 1.69 with betfair and 1.72 with bet365. Brisbane Heat could not convert their five-match winning streak into six as they went down to Sydney Sixers in their previous fixture. They are up at 2.28 and 2.10 respectively.

­Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat Prediction

Both the teams are going neck-and neck this year and there is some serious talent on either side. There isn't much to choose between the two sides and so a nail-biting encounter can be expected on Thursday.

The Scorchers might be a little concerned with injury to Adam Voges while the Heat will need to improve their bowling, especially towards the business end of the innings. However, the former will be the one with the psychological edge as they will be playing at their home ground where they have defeated the latter in their previous two encounters. Though Brisbane Heat are a strong side, we feel the hosts are better placed to win at the WACA.

Final Verdict: Back Perth Scorchers to beat Brisbane Heat at 1.69 with betfair and 1.72 with bet365.
