SCO vs HUR T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2023
Match 9 of the 2023-24 Big Bash League sees Perth Scorchers take on Hobart Hurricanes in Perth on Wednesday evening. The Scorchers first game of the campaign was abandoned after 6.5 overs due to a poor pitch but they then beat Melbourne Stars by 7 wickets. Hobart Hurricanes lost their only match to Sydney Sixers. Read on as we preview this BBL fixture. The match gets underway at the Perth Stadium at 19:15 local time.
The comfortable win over Melbourne Stars shows that Perth Scorchers are going to be just as strong as they have been in previous seasons in this year’s BBL. Their bowling attack is particularly strong and we expect to see another victory for the Scorchers in this game.
Hobart Hurricanes may have got off to a disappointing start against Sydney Sixers but they have plenty of talent throughout their team and if they have a good day could well cause some problems for Perth Scorchers. Getting a win in Perth will be a tough assignment though.

Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing 11
SCO Team News
The Scorchers are not far from full strength for this game with only Mitch Marsh away on Test duty and bowling all-rounder Ashton Agar likely to return from his calf injury. England international Zak Crawley could come in for his first appearance of the BBL 2023 after arriving from the Caribbean.
SCO Key Players
- Aaron Hardie - The top order batter hit a four and a six in a typically attacking innings against Melbourne Stars. He picked up a wicket in that game also and looks like a really handy all-rounder this year.
- Zak Crawley - The tall right-hander has a strong reputation in Australia after his impressive Ashes series. He is able to drive short length ball such is his reach.
- Jason Behrendorff - The tall left-arm pace bowler got the wickets of Beau Webster, Marcus Stoinis and Nick Larkin in his first four overs of the tournament.
- Andrew Tye - It is very rare for the experienced fast medium bowler to go through a BBL game without dismissing a batter and he picked up figures of 1/24.
SCO Team Form
Perth Scorchers were impressive with both bat and ball in their win during Match 7 in Melbourne.
Perth Scorchers Predicted Playing 11
Steve Eskinazi, Zak Crawley, Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis (wk), Ashton Turner (c), Laurie Evans, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Lance Morris, Jason Behrendorff
Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HUR Team News
Riley Meredith picked up a side injury in the opening game defeat to Sydney Sixers and we expect to see Billy Stanlake coming back into the team in his place. Liam Guthrie and Mitch Owen are expected to fight over the number seven position.
HUR Key Players
- Matthew Wade - The keeper-batter always scores his T20 runs at a strong strike-rate and he comes into this match with a top score of 130 not out in this format.
- Caleb Jewell - The opener went past 900 T20 runs in the defeat against Sydney Sixers when he top scored with 42 runs from 24 balls.
- Nathan Ellis - The skipper picked up his first wicket of this year’s BBL in Launceston. His variations could be very useful on the quick pitch in Perth.
- Chris Jordan - The vastly experienced bowling all-rounder hit a six with the bat but went wicketless against Sydney Sixers. However, with 342 T20 wickets, he is always a threat in this format.
HUR Team Form
Hobart Hurricanes did not make enough runs or take enough wickets in Match 5 so they will need to improve in both areas for this game.
Hobart Hurricanes Predicted Playing 11
Caleb Jewell, Matthew Wade (wk), Ben McDermott, Sam Hain, Tim David, Mitch Owen / Liam Guthrie, Chris Jordan, Nathan Ellis (c), Patrick Dooley, Billy Stanlake
