Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Stars BBL T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips
Get to Know Who will win SCO vs STA, Big Bash League match, toss Prediction with Head to Head stats, Playing 11, Dream11 Prediction, Betting Rates, Live score & winning percentage.
Keeper-batter Josh Inglis has a top score of 74 this season and the right-hander is well worth backing as Perth Scorchers’ highest run scorer in this match. Jhye Richardson has eight wickets in the competition and took 4-9 at this venue earlier this month. He is our tip for Perth Scorchers’ top wicket taker against Melbourne Stars
Joe Clarke continues to get Melbourne Stars off to strong starts at the top of the order. The English keeper-batter is a strong choice for their highest run scorer against Perth Scorchers. With the ball, Luke Wood has nine wickets with only two players having dismissed more batters in the tournament so far. He is our pick for their top wicket taker.
Jhye Rihardson enjoys bowling on this pitch and we recommend backing him to take over 1.5 wickets in this clash.

Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing 11
SCO Team News
Lance Morris remains with the Australia Test squad at the MCG, with the Scorchers hoping to see him make his first appearance in this year’s BBL in the new year. The Scorchers are in excellent form and we predict they will select the same XI in this game.
SCO Key Players
Josh Inglis - With 168 runs in the BBL 20222-23 so far, Inglis is only one place off the top of the run scorer’s list. He has also chipped in with four batches behind the stumps.
Andrew Tye - The skipper has hit 116 runs across the four matches and is outperforming his usual standard this season. His overall BBL average is 22.14 yet he is averaging 38.67 in this campaign.
Jhye Richardson - The pace bowler missed out on a wicket against Adelaide Strikers but still bowled a maiden and conceded only 20 runs from four overs.
SCO Team Form
Perth Scorchers are unbeaten in Perth so far in this campaign and are targeting their fourth win from five 2022-23 BBL games.

Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Stars Match Prediction
Melbourne Stars Team News & Playing 11
STA Team News
Nathan Coulter-Nile and Marcus Stoinis both missed Melbourne Stars’ Boxing Day defeat to Sydney Sixers at the SCG, with the pair given permission to fly to Western Australia early ahead of this match. We expect both to return to the team at the Optus Stadium.
STA Key Players
Joe Clarke - The keeper-batter made 27 runs from 22 balls at the SCG, hitting one four and two sixes in the process. He does not lack confidence and will enjoy the pace on the pitch in Perth.
Beau Webster - The 29 year old all-rounder hit 78 runs against Sydney Sixers and has racked up 145 runs from his last three BBL innings.
Luke Wood - The England international got the big wicket of Josh Philippe in his opening over on Monday. He continues to out-bowl Trent Boult and will look to do so again in this match.
STA Team Form
The Stars are struggling with their form and have been beaten by 38 runs, 61 runs and seven wickets across their last three matches
Melbourne Stars Predicted Playing 11
Thomas Rogers, Joe Clarke (wk), Marcus Stoinis, Beau Webster, Nick Larkin, Hilton Cartwright, Campbell Kellaway, Luke Wood, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Trent Boult, Adam Zampa (c)

Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Stars Betting Odds
The bookmakers have installed Perth Scorchers as heavy favourites ahead of this match. With the form of both teams, this is no surprise.
Who will win Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Stars T20 Match?
Melbourne Stars have struggled for runs and we do not expect the Perth Scorchers bowlers to give them any easy balls to hit in this clash. The Scorchers have wicket-takers throughout their bowling-attack.
PRS vs MLS Top Team Batsmen
We recommend Faf du Plessis, Josh Inglis and Adam Lyth are our tips for Perth Scorchers with the bat. Although his worst two scores in the tournament have come in Perth, the bookmakers are predicting big runs from him in this game. Inglis could well be the 2022-23 leading run scorer after this match.
Marcus Stoinis, Joe Clarke and Beau Webster are our batting tips for Melbourne Stars. Stoinis hit 59 not out in a T20 World Cup fixture at this ground in October and the bookies expect him to deliver with the bat in this match. Clarke remains the only player to have struck a century in the competition.
Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye and Jason Behrendorff are our bowling picks for Perth Scorchers. All three have excellent experience of playing at this venue with Richardson and Tye joint favourites to be the top wicket takers in this clash. Behrendorff is yet to go wicketless in the tournament.
We are backing Adam Zampa, Trent Boult and Luke Wood with the ball for Melbourne Stars. Zampa varies his pace very well and the bookies are backing him to be the Stars’ top wicket taker. Boult has taken only two wickets from his last three BBL games but is one of the best left-arm opening bowlers in the game.
It will take a big turnaround for Melbourne Stars if they are to win this match. Although they do have Nathan Coulter-Nile and Marcus Stoinis back, we are yet to see consistent runs for the side. Overall, and with a strong bowling unit to call upon, we think Perth Scorchers will extend their winning run with a victory over Melbourne Stars.
