TEAMS PREVIEW
Perth Scorchers Preview
Perth’s season opener against Melbourne Renegades was abandoned due to an unfit pitch. In their next match, they took down Melbourne Stars by 7 wickets with more than six overs remaining, while chasing a target of just 102.
Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis, and Ashton Turner stood out as major contributors among the top six run scorers in the previous season. They collected 460, 431, and 381 runs, respectively. Notably, all three maintained a remarkable strike rate of more than 140, with averages above 35, and attained a total of 12 half-centuries.
Stephen Eskinazi (238 runs in the last 10 matches) will have plenty of chances to plunder some runs as the opener of the side.
Perth Scorchers have a strong trio of seasoned pacers, with the left-arm, right-arm combo of Jason Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson for the opening stints and Andrew Tye frequently taking wickets in the death overs. They have gathered over 330 Big Bash wickets between them and will pose a threat to any batting unit.
Perth Scorchers Predicted Playing XI:
Stephen Eskinazi, Cooper Connolly, Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis (wk), Ashton Turner (c), Laurie Evans, Nick Hobson, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Hamish McKenzie, Jason Behrendorff

Hobart Hurricanes Preview
In their season opener against Sydney Sixers, Hobart Hurricanes could only manage 135-8 after batting first and went on lose the game by 6 wickets. Caleb Jewell’s 42 off 24 balls was the only decent performance worth talking about.
The Hurricanes do have a solid batting unit. Apart from Jewell, the likes of Ben McDermott and Matthew Wade will also have a role to play this season for the team. Then there is the hard-hitting Tim David in the middle, who can destroy any bowling attack on his day. David has a strike rate of 170 in his last 10 matches and can be the game-changer for the Hurricanes.
On paper, the Hurricanes should be strong at bowling. Nathan Ellis is a specialist in the last four, with a career economy rate of less than nine. Last season, he and Riley Meredith combined for 39 wickets in 14 matches and made for a dangerous combo at either end of the inning, with the latter frequently used in the powerplay.
Chris Jordan brings almost 200 T20s of experience to the table as another option at the end of the innings.
Hobart Hurricanes Predicted Playing XI:
Matthew Wade (wk), Caleb Jewell, Ben McDermott, Sam Hain, Tim David, Corey Anderson, Chris Jordan, Patrick Dooley, Nathan Ellis (c), Riley Meredith, Peter Hatzoglou

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Perth was once known as one of the fastest tracks in the world. While it’s still pretty quick, it has started favoring batters too in recent years. Once they negotiate the first few overs with the new ball, they can play their strokes more freely. Since this is the first match of the season to be played here, the pitch should be hard and will offer plenty of bounce for the seamers.
The weather in Perth will be partly cloudy and windy.

Winning Prediction
Perth Scorchers have 12-7 head-to-head record against Hobart Hurricanes. Moreover, they have beaten Hobart four times in their last five encounters. Playing at home, they will definitely start as favorites for this match. The Hurricanes have a pretty decent unit, but they will need to pull off something remarkable to get past a strong side like Perth.
