Defeating the table topper Adelaide Strikers, Perth Scorchers have moved up the ladder to the second spot however their batting remains the main concern. With the likes of Bradd Hogg, Yasir Arafat & Jason Behrendroff defending totals of 134 against Sydney &133 against one of the best battinh sides of the tournament Adelaide it seems Perth Scorchers can defend any total. The fact remains PRS have batted first in their first five games giving their bowlers a chance to know what to defend. So, winning the toss for PRS will be important.
With just one win in his account the Brisbane Heats doesnt looks in a good shape to win a match against a team at No. 2 spot. Chris Lynn the leading scorer for Heats in BBL-04 hasnt mush converted his 30s in the current edition and is yet to post a half century. The team's batting mostly depends onhis batting! JIMMY PIERSEN & PETER FORREST will be the key to their batting while Freddy Flintoff's form will be a concern for the Heats. Bowling needs to improve as well foe the Heats.
With all the Negative remarks going in favour of the Heats, it will be a tough game for Heats to cross the line. PRS stand a good chance for a win.
PREDICTION: Perth Scorchers
