Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11
The opening pair of Chris Lynn and Brendon McCullum struck twin fifties against Melbourne Stars to help their side to a comfortable nine-wicket win. These two together with Joe Burns and Alex Ross who too has been amongst the runs will be the key men for the Heat. Bowling will rely mainly on the spin duo Yasir Shah and Mitchell Swepson. The latter took three wickets in the last game and he will be backed by his team for another good performance here.

Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing 11
The Scorchers will hope that Michael Klinger, Ashton Turner and Adam Voges have a good day with the bat against the Heat. Klinger is coming off a match-winning knock of 83 against the Sixers and it be crucial for the team that he scores big again. In the absence of Mitchell Johnson, it will be up to Andrew Tye to deliver the goods with the ball. The fast bowler is the leading wicket-taker in the series with 13 wickets in four matches. David Willey who took two wickets in the last game will be their next best option.

Brisbane Heat vs Perth Scorchers Betting Odds
Brisbane Heat have the home advantage in their favor which is one of the reasons why they are favorites amongst the bookmakers to win this match. The hosts are priced at 1.74 on Betfair, 1.66 on Bet365, 1.65 on Unibet, 1.67 on Ladbrokes and 1.70 on Betway. Perth Scorchers, despite having won all of their first four fixtures, are the underdogs at odds of 2.34 on Betfair, 2.30 on Bet365, 2.25 on Unibet, 2.20 on Ladbrokes and 2.15 on Betway.
Brisbane Heat vs Perth Scorchers Prediction
With four wins in as many matches, Perth Scorchers are the in-form team and they have also beaten Brisbane Heat five times in the eight matches against them. However, they have been hit with quite a few injuries this year and now they will be without their frontline fast bowler Mitchell Johnson who has been rested for this game. Brisbane Heat will be playing at home and they have won both their matches they have played here so far this BBL season. So even though the Scorchers will have the momentum with them, we predict the Heat to come out on top due to their explosive batting line-up.
Final Verdict: Back Brisbane Heat to beat Perth Scorchers at 1.74 on 1xbet, 1.66 on Bet365, 1.65 on Unibet, 1.67 on 10Cric and 1.70 on betway.
