BRH vs PRS prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2020-21
Perth Scorchers will finish top of the 2020-21 Big Bash League if they beat Brisbane Heat in their final group game, as the Heat themselves need a win to reach the play-offs. The match, the first of the final day of league fixtures, takes place on January 26 and the live action starts at 13:05 local time.
The Scorchers moved top of the table on net run rate from Sydney Sixers in the latest round of fixtures, as Jason Roy hit a half-century in an 11-run defeat of Melbourne Stars. They had previously beaten Hobart Hurricanes. It was their eighth win in nine games – a run that includes bowling Brisbane out for 115 in a dominant victory.
Brisbane, meanwhile, were bowled out for 115 in their next game too – against Adelaide Strikers – but bounced back with a crucial win against Melbourne Renegades last time out. Marnus Labuschagne’s all-round form was key, as was a Chris Lynn half-century and Mark Steketee’s three wickets as they posted 173/5 and bowled the ‘Gades out for 147 in reply.
