Preview:
Perth came up short to the Sixers on Wednesday as the batting order fell apart. The Renegades also kicked off their title defence in disappointing fashion in an agonizing six-wicket loss to the Thunder on Thursday night.
The ‘Gades are favoured slightly in the market despite Perth holding home-field advantage. From a betting perspective, that makes things relatively easy considering the Scorchers are a perfect 2-0 as the home underdog against Melbourne.
It appears the bookies are overreacting to Perth’s sloppy performance against Sydney, but it’s worth keeping in mind how talented the Scorchers’ lineup is. With Mitch Marsh out to prove a point against his brother and the top of the order looking to regain composure, it’s worth taking the value on offer for a Perth bounce-back.
