Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars will play in the 27th match of the Big Bash League 2021-22 at Docklands Stadium, Melbourne. We will cover SCO vs STA Dream11 Prediction, Probable Playing 11, and Fantasy Cricket Tips.
Perth Scorchers:
Perth Scorchers lost for the first time this season but are still at the top of the Big Bash League points table with 21 points.
Kurtis Patterson and Josh Inglis opened the innings and went early in the last match. At No.3, Marsh failed to perform in the previous game, but Colin Munro scored a brilliant fifty in the middle-order. Skipper Turner has not contributed much this season, and Laurie Evans has played a couple of good innings. Andrew Tye smashed 44 runs in the last match.
Once again, the bowlers conceded too many runs, resulting in their first loss. Mathew Kelly picked up three wickets, and Marsh got two wickets. Behrendorff and Andrew Tye managed to pick up one wicket each.
Scorchers need to improve their bowling performance to maintain the top position on the points table.
Melbourne Stars:
Melbourne Stars won the last match and moved to the 6th position on the points table with three wins and three losses and ten points.
Marcus Stoinis is in poor form as he was out for a duck in the last match, but his partner Clarke smashed two back-to-back fifties. At No.3, Joe Burns and Glenn Maxwell couldn’t score much in the middle-order, but Cartwright is in brilliant form and smashed 79 runs in the last match. Andre Russell performed well with the bat only in one game.
The bowlers improved slightly compared to the last couple of matches. Brody Couch has been the best bowler for Stars this season and picked up three wickets in the previous game and Qais Ahmad also got three wickets. Coulter-Nile and Zampa picked one wicket each.
Stars need to improve their bowling attack and show consistency in their batting performance.
