The Melbourne Stars take on the Perth Scorchers in the 25th game of the Big Bash League at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 7:15pm (AEDT).
Never count out the Scorchers. That’s a mantra teams would have learnt from playing against them over the seasons.
However, after falling to five defeats from six matches, there are serious question marks over the possibility of the Scorchers making it to the finals.
On the assumption that anywhere between seven to eight wins are needed to make it there, the Scorchers are very much in contention to make the top four, but with six to seven more victories needed from their last eight games, they haven’t left themselves a lot of wriggle room.
The Scorchers need to start winning and now.
Unfortunately for Perth, their batting has continued to struggle, with 147 from 20 overs being their top score so far in the tournament. And with the Marsh brothers expected not to feature in this game as well, the onus will be on the likes of Michael Klinger and Ashton Turner yet again.
The Stars have had a better start, with three wins from five matches to their name so far as opposed to the second-placed Sixers who have an extra win but having played a couple of extra matches.
What’s interesting to see is that the Stars’ wins have been based on team performances rather than individual brilliance.
Which is not to say they haven’t had match-winners – Sandeep Lamichhane has been one with eight wickets from four matches – but none of their batsmen or bowlers make the top eight of the wickets or runs lists.
In fact their best batsman has been Marcus Stoinis, who has scored just 146 runs, the 13th highest. Even Scorchers’ Turner has made 197.
And it will be this very team effort that will look to usurp the Scorchers in this encounter.
Prediction
Perth batsmen to come good but Melbourne Stars to still run away with a win.
