Big Bash League 2021-22 – Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat – 5th Match Prediction
The Perth Scorchers will be the last team to begin their BBL 2021-22 season, but they are the team we are most excited about. They have some of the best players in Australia on their team, and they promise to be a lot of fun to watch. In this match, they will face the Brisbane Heat, a team that began with a dismal win after failing with the bat and employing some unusual fielding tactics.
The match will take place on December 8, 2021, at the Perth Stadium in Perth.

Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat Team Previews
Perth Scorchers (Match Odds – 1.60)
Mitchell Marsh, who was instrumental in Australia’s T20 World Cup victory, leads the Perth Scorchers. He’ll bat third and try to set the pace of the inning. We believe Mitchell Marsh is a fantastic pick for the ‘To Hit A Six’ betting market as well as the ‘Top Batsman Perth Scorchers’ betting market.
Cameron Bancroft, Josh Inglis, Colin Munro, and Ashton Turner are the other batsmen who will make the squad. With Ashton Agar as the all-rounder, the team has some pretty solid batting depth. Bowling has traditionally been a strong suit for the Scorchers, and that appears to be the case this time as well.
Fast bowlers Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, and Matthew Kelly could be in the lineup, with spinners Ashton Agar and Peter Hatzglou. We enjoy watching Hatzglou bowl, and the Scorchers made an excellent choice in selecting him. He’ll be able to take advantage of the bounce in the surface and could be a great value pick in the ‘Top Bowler Perth Scorchers’ betting market.
Perth Scorchers Squad
Ashton Agar, Cameron Bancroft, Jason Behrendorff, Aaron Hardie, Peter Hatzoglou, Josh Inglis, Matthew Kelly, Mitch Marsh, Lance Morris, Kurtis Patterson, Jhye Richardson, Ashton Turner, Andrew Tye, Colin Munro, Brydon Carse, Laurie Evans
Predicted XI: Cameron Bancroft (wk), Colin Munro, Laurie Evans, Ashton Turner, Kurtis Patterson, Aaron Hardie, Matthew Kelly, Lance Morris, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou
Brisbane Heat (Match Odds – 2.35)
The Brisbane Heat struggled in their first match. It never seemed to be ahead of Sydney Thunder at any point in the game and was always playing catchup. The batting order appears to be quite vulnerable now that Lynn is no longer the player he once was. Max Bryant is far too erratic and frequently loses his wicket.
Throughout the Big Bash, it would not be a bad betting strategy to simply bet against Lynn and Bryant whenever possible! We believe you will be profitable in the end.
The Brisbane Heat’s batting lineup appears to be underwhelming at the moment and will struggle in most matches.
The bowlers did a good job defending a low total, but they simply had too much to do. Mujeeb ur Rahman, Xavier Bartlett, and Jack Wildermuth should be able to put the Scorchers on the back foot in this match as well.
Brisbane Heat Squad
Xavier Bartlett, Tom Cooper, Sam Heazlett, Chris Lynn, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Jimmy Pierson (c), Mark Steketee, Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Williams, Marnus Labuschagne, Michael Neser, Ben Duckett, Tom Abell, Jack Wildermuth, James Bazley, Matt Kuhnemann, Max Bryant, Connor Sully
Predicted XI: Chris Lynn, Max Bryant, Ben Duckett, Sam Heazlett, Jimmy Peirson (c & wk), Jack Wildermuth, James Bazley, Xavier Bartlett, Matthew Kuhnemann, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Liam Guthrie
