Melbourne Stars vs Perth Scorchers Preview

This could easily be the most meaningful game of the entire year between second and third.

The Scorchers sit one spot above the Stars on run difference, but they do look vulnerable here as the slight favourites in the market.

Melbourne held Perth to just 158 runs when these two met in a no result last month as Billy Stanlake and Liam Hatcher both tore through the Scorchers’ top order.

Like a few other teams in the league, Perth has been a difficult side to trust on the road, so the fact this one is being played in Melbourne works in the Stars’ advantage.
