On Sunday night at Perth Stadium, game 52 of the 2022–23 Big Bash League pits the top-of-the-table Perth Scorchers against the Melbourne Renegades. The Scorchers have 20 points after winning 10 of their 13 games so far this year. The third-place Melbourne Renegades have 12 points after 12 games. Perth kicks off this game at 18:45 local time.

The Perth Scorchers have been a dominant team in the BBL this season, and they appear to be able to defend their championship. They are in better shape than their opponents in this game and have a much stronger team.

The Perth Scorchers will play their final group stage match in this one, and we anticipate that they will want to finish the stage on a high note in front of their home fans. The pressure to defeat the top team is lessened for Melbourne Renegades because they still have one game against Adelaide Strikers to play. The Renegades will fight throughout this match, but we don’t believe they have what it takes to win. We anticipate another victory for Perth Scorchers.
