PS vs MR Team Previews
Perth Scorchers
Perth Scorchers’ win over the Strikers highlights their dominance in this competition. The Scorchers got a solid platform from Mitchell Marsh with 37 runs and Sam Fanning with 31 runs. Ashton Turner provided the spark with a rapid 28 runs, striking at 200, to lift the total into competitive territory. Bowlers Ashton Agar and Joel Paris added the finishing touches with 16 and 20 runs respectively.
The real standout feature of their match against the Strikers was the bowling. Paris’ 3 for 22 dashed many hopes of the Adelaide fans. He was backed up by Aaron Hardie’s superb 2 for 10 and Turner’s freakish 2 wickets in an over as the Scorchers pushed Adelaide over for 120 in just over 18 overs.
Cooper Connolly, Mahli Beardman and Ashton Agar each contributed with 1 wicket. Even when the Strikers threatened brief partnerships, Perth kept changing the pace and angles. The scoreboard pressure followed in their opposition’s downfall.
With the recent 33-run win at home, the Scorchers’ campaign looks to be shaping nicely. The players are playing with a swagger that only a side winning 4 of its 6 games can show.
Perth Scorchers Expected Playing 11
Mitchell Marsh, Sam Fanning, Cooper Connolly, Aaron Hardie, Ashton Turner (c), Joel Curtis (wk), Nick Hobson, Ashton Agar, Joel Paris, Brody Couch, Mahli Beardman

Melbourne Renegades
Melbourne Renegades would’ve received a morale boost after narrowly beating their Melbourne rivals. Holding the Stars to 173 for 9 was the first big tick of the game. Gurinder Sandhu’s 4 wickets ripped through the middle order, but he was expensive with 41 runs conceded.
Most of the bowling lineup was tidy in terms of controlling the run rate. Hassan Khan, Callum Stow and Will Sutherland went for between 6 to 8 runs per over. Concerns will remain about Jason Behrendorff’s lack of wickets and expensive returns in recent games though.
In the chase, Josh Brown and Mohammad Rizwan were key in showing intent. Brown’s 84 off 48 set the tone. His 103-run stand with Mohammad Rizwan put the Renegades in cruise control before a wobble made it interesting.
Tim Seifert and Jake Fraser-McGurk disappointed once again with single-digit scores.
The Renegades batting has had its moments of excellence, but the prevailing moments of trouble is what makes the team a risky bet.

PS vs MR Toss Prediction
The Renegades was the team to take home the honours in the previous clash between these sides in Perth. On that occasion, their winning formula was chasing. Both captains would be expected to see chasing as suiting them.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Expect a typically brisk Perth wicket with bounce that encourages playing on the backfoot. A par score at Perth Stadium would be somewhere around the 160-run mark. For the bowlers, hard lengths up top and changes of pace in the middle to late overs could be lethal.
There is essentially no threat of rain interruptions on this clear day. The dry conditions will help with producing a hard and bouncy pitch.
PS vs MR: Who Will Win?
After a slowish start to the season, the Perth Scorchers has quickly picked up momentum to climb the table. The Scorchers is built on different individuals putting their hands up when needed and numerous players have done just that. The Renegades currently sits with 3 losses in its past 4 matches.
Bet on Perth Scorchers to win.
