PS vs MS Betting Tips
Perth Scorchers total runs before the first dismissal to be over 25.5 runs
Mitchell Marsh and Finn Allen have been among the most destructive opening combinations in the tournament. Their 64-run opening stand against the Renegades highlighted how quickly they can dominate the powerplay. On a surface built for aggressive batting, backing Perth to clear 25.5 runs before losing a wicket offers excellent value.
A batter to score 50 runs in the match
Perth Stadium traditionally offers pace, bounce, and true carry, creating ideal conditions for stroke-making. With powerful top orders on both sides, one batter converting a start into a half-century looks highly likely. Finn Allen arrives on the back of a scintillating century against the Renegades, and with other in-form hitters in both lineups, this market shapes as a low-risk banker.

PS vs MS Team Previews
Perth Scorchers
The Scorchers are peaking at the right time as the playoffs approach. Their emphatic 50-run win over the Renegades pushed them to the top of the table and showcased their dominance in both departments.
Finn Allen was sensational, smashing 101 off 53 balls with eight sixes, while the rest of the lineup maintained the momentum. Contributions from Mitchell Marsh, Aaron Hardie, and Laurie Evans ensured Perth posted a daunting 219/7.
The bowlers then finished the job with authority. Cooper Connolly struck in the opening over and ended with 2/23, while Mahli Beardman and Luke Holt also made valuable breakthroughs. With a formidable net run rate and a side brimming with confidence, Perth look every bit like championship contenders.

Melbourne Stars
The Stars secured a six-wicket win in their last outing, but it was far from convincing. Tom Curran’s outstanding 4/10 dismantled Adelaide and restricted them to 83, yet the chase raised concerns.
Despite the low target, Melbourne stumbled to 13/2 in the powerplay, losing Sam Harper and Campbell Kellaway cheaply. Tom Rogers’ 32 came at a sedate pace, and just as stability seemed possible, Marcus Stoinis was forced to retire hurt.
The Stars eventually crawled to 86/4 in 15.1 overs—hardly a statement performance heading into a clash with the in-form Scorchers in Perth.
If Melbourne fail to strike early with the ball, they could quickly find themselves under relentless pressure from Perth’s aggressive top order.
Melbourne Stars Expected Playing 11
Sam Harper (wk), Thomas Rogers, Campbell Kellaway, Blake Macdonald, Marcus Stoinis (c), Tom Curran, Hilton Cartwright, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Swepson, Haris Rauf, Peter Siddle
PS vs MS Toss Prediction
Three of the four matches at Perth Stadium this season have been won by the chasing side. Captains are therefore likely to opt to bowl first and take advantage of conditions under lights.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Perth Stadium is renowned for its pace and bounce, allowing fast bowlers to hit the deck hard while rewarding batters who commit to their shots. As the match progresses, the dry surface can also offer some turn and extra bounce for spinners.
The average first-innings score here in BBL matches is around 144 runs, though recent performances suggest higher totals are increasingly achievable.
Weather conditions are set to be sunny and hot, with clear skies and a light breeze—ideal for a high-quality contest.
PS vs MS: Who Will Win?
Both teams come into this fixture with six wins from nine matches, but the manner of their recent victories tells a different story. Perth were dominant against the Renegades, while the Stars scraped past Adelaide in an unconvincing chase.
Add Perth’s outstanding home record and superior head-to-head advantage, and the Scorchers stand out as the smarter betting option.
Bet on Perth Scorchers to win.
