SCO vs HEA T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Final BBL 2023
Perth Scorchers take on Brisbane Heat in the 2022-23 Big Bash League Final on Saturday evening. The Scorchers won the tournament last year, finished top of the group stage and beat Sydney Sixers in the Qualifier on January 28th. Brisbane Heat defeated the Sixers in Thursday’s Challenger at the SCG. Read on as we preview this final. The game gets underway at the Perth Stadium at 19:30 local time.
Perth Scorchers were the best team in BBL11 and need one more victory to make it back to back titles. In front of their home fans, they will be very hard to beat in this match.
Brisbane Heat have won many admirers with their switch in form from mid-January onwards. However, this final match may prove too much for them against the current holders.

Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing 11
SCO Team News
There will be at least one change to the line-up for the holders ahead of this final with 24 year old pace bowler Lance Morris now out of the country and in India preparing for the Test series. We expect England left-arm pace bowler David Payne to come back into the team for this game with Jhye Richardson still out with a hamstring injury.
SCO Key Players
- Cameron Bancroft - The right-handed opener came into the team a third of the way through the campaign and has scored 342 runs at an average of 57.
- Ashton Turner - The skipper is a very experienced player who leads the team from the front. He hit 84 not out from 47 balls in the Qualifier win over Sydney Sixers on this pitch.
- Andrew Tye - The 36 year old pace bowler has an excellent record in the BBL across all seasons and has had another fine campaign, leading the attack.
The Scorchers have been very strong throughout the BBL 2023 and are looking for their fifth successive victory in this match.

Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11
HEA Team News
The batting line-up certainly looked a lot weaker without their Test trio of Marnus Labuschagne, Matt Renshaw and Usman Khawaja in the Challenger but Brisbane Heat’s bowling attack made up for it. There are no injuries in the team and we expect to see the same XI in this game.
HEA Key Players
- Josh Brown - The 29 year old right-hander hit two sixes and one four at the top of the order in the successful chase against Sydney Sixers and gave the innings a much needed boost.
- Spencer Johnson - The left-arm pace bowler was brilliant in Thursday’s game, dismissing Kurtis Patterson, Dan Christian and Hayden Kerr. He will relish playing in front of another big crowd in this match.
- Michael Neser - The experienced bowling all-rounder was the Player of the Match in the Challenger. He took 2-28 before hitting 48 not out to take his team to this final.
Brisbane Heat have won seven of their last eight BBL games since January 14th.

Who will win Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat T20 Match?
Brisbane Heat should not be discounted ahead of this game due to their recent run of form. However, player for player, and looking at performances over the entire tournament, Perth Scorchers are the top team.
🏆 Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat Prediction
This is the first time in three seasons that Sydney Sixers have not made the BBL final but these two teams certainly deserve to be contesting this match. This will be the third year in a row that Perth Scorchers are in the final and that experience could prove critical. Brisbane Heat never expected to get this far and as a result are playing with plenty of freedom. We are predicting a close match but expect Perth Scorchers to get the win and win BBL12.
