The Scorchers will be without English left-arm pace bowler Tymal Mills who is returning to England ahead of the white-ball tour to West Indies. Mills will be missed after taking 12 wickets including 3-29 on Tuesday. We predict that the rest of the team will be the same as against Sydney Sixers.

Top of the table Perth Scorchers are favourites with the bookies
Colin Munro and Sam Billings are the standout batters on each side and both will be expecting big scores in this game.
We recommend Colin Munro, Kurtis Patterson and Cameron Bancroft with the bat for Melbourne Renegades. Munro is averaging 55.83 in the tournament.
For Sydney Thunder, we are backing Jason Sangha, Matthew Gilkes and Sam Billings with the bat. Billings will be looking to sign off from this year’s BBL with his third half-century.
For Perth Scorchers, our picks with the ball are Andrew Tye, Ashton Agar and Jason Behrendorff. No player has taken more wickets than Tye in the competition.
Mohammad Hasnain, Saqib Mahmood and Daniel Sams are our bowling recommendations for Sydney Thunder. Hasnain made an instant impression in the tournament in his opening over.
This should be an excellent contest between the best side in the competition and the only team who has defeated them so far. We are predicting a close game with Sydney Thunder putting in a strong performance but Perth Scorchers to get the victory.
