Preview:
Brisbane and Perth are both still searching for their second victory of the season, and as the market suggests, it’s tough tipping a winner.
The Heat have won three straight over the Scorchers dating back to last season, but Brisbane’s troubles with the bat continue to hold them back.
Last time Brisbane played at Metricon they lost by 22-runs to the Stars in a disappointing performance, while the Scorchers haven’t fared much better in recent weeks losing back-to-back games to the Strikers and Sixers.
Considering these two sides have struggled so much for consistency on both sides of the ball, it’s difficult to find confidence in the head-to-head market.
Therefore, it’s worth looking elsewhere for some value. The good news is these two sides both lead the competition in sixes, while Chris Lynn leads all individual players with 12.
