The Perth Scorchers face the Melbourne Stars at GMHBA Stadium in Geelong on Tuesday afternoon. The Scorchers have continued to set the tone in the BBL this season, leading the table with nine wins in eleven games. The Melbourne Stars are currently in seventh place, but they defeated the Adelaide Strikers on Monday.
Except for the Sydney Thunder, the Perth Scorchers have won every game they’ve played in the tournament. They will be confident in their capability to defeat Melbourne Stars once again.
Melbourne Stars won a crucial match against Adelaide Strikers on Monday and sought to climb the rankings. They’re almost back to full fitness, but if they want to win this game, they’ll have to be at the top of their game.
Weather
It was partly cloudy throughout the game, with temperatures in the mid-20s.
Pitch
Both slow and fast bowlers will find something to help them on this Geelong field. Batters may struggle with the wicket’s minor two-pace nature. In every game the Perth Scorchers have won the toss, they have elected to bat first. In this match, we expect both captains to choose to bat first.

Neither team will have any experienced batters in this game. Due to Joe Clarke’s batting form, Colin Munro’s absence for Perth Scorchers is arguably more of a loss than Glenn Maxwell’s for Melbourne Stars. The Perth Scorchers are expected to win over the Melbourne Stars again.
