Marcus Stoinis, Joe Clarke (wk), Glenn Maxwell (c), Joe Burns, Andre Russell, Hilton Cartwright, Beau Webster, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Adam Zampa, Qaid Ahmad, Brody Couch
The Scorchers suffered their first defeat of the season in their last match, losing by 34 runs to Sydney Thunder. We expect Ashton Turner to lead out a very similar side but with left-arm pace bowler Tymal Mills returning to the team after being rested for the last game.
Perth Scorchers may have lost their 100% record but they have still played the best cricket in the Big Bash League so far.

This game gives Perth Scorchers the perfect opportunity to return to winning ways after their blip against Sydney Thunder last time out. Melbourne Stars have 10 players who are unavailable and will be fielding a very inexperienced side. We are predicting a victory for Perth Scorchers.
