THE LOWDOWN
MELBOURNE STARS
- Melbourne Stars’ latest Big Bash League foray couldn’t have got off to a worse start as they were destroyed by Brisbane Heat at the Gabba, losing by a mammoth 103 runs to leave them rock bottom of the table.
- The Stars’ bowling unit was taken to the cleaners, conceding 214/3 and unsurprisingly, the batters got nowhere near their victory target, bowled out for a sorry 111 with just three players recording a double-figure score.
PERTH SCORCHERS
- An unfit pitch brought an early conclusion to Perth Scorchers’ opening game of the season away at Melbourne Renegades with player safety rightly prioritised on a pitch proving dangerous for the batters.
- Due to the conditions, Perth had been reduced to 30/2 from 6.5 overs batting first before the umpires took the players off the pitch and eventually abandoned the game.
THE PREDICTION
On what will no doubt be a significantly better batting surface at the MCG, Perth Scorchers will be licking their lips at the prospect of taking on a weak-looking Melbourne Stars side no doubt rattled by their thrashing on opening night. They’ll hope that home comforts can help spark an improvement, but Perth Scorchers look very much the stronger side in all departments and have to be favoured for victory.
BETTING TIP: PERTH SCORCHERS TO WIN
