Perth Scorchers, on Thursday, registered their maiden victory of the 2020-21 Big Bash League. The Ashton Turner-led unit defeated the Adelaide Strikers by seven wickets to gain some much-needed confidence. But with a net run rate of -1.135, the Scorchers have a lot of work to do.

Their next game is against Melbourne Renegades on Sunday, December 3 in the first of the day’s doubleheader. The match is set to be played at the Perth Stadium, a venue which will host a BBL game for the first time this season.

On the head-to-head count, the Scorchers are away ahead with 10-3 lead. But the Renegades have beaten them once at the Perth Stadium. In the ongoing tournament, the Renegades are languishing at the bottom with one win from six matches and with a net run rate of -2.543.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch in Perth is fairly good for batting. Though only one T20I has been played, it can be expected to be a sporting one for the upcoming encounter. Winning the toss and fielding first should be the way forward for the teams.

The playing conditions will be hazy with the temperature around the 30 degrees Celsius mark. There will be 94 per cent cloud cover with a humidity of 28 per cent.

The score of 49 he got against the Strikers should be keeping him in good stead. Roy would be looking to play another decent knock and help the Scorchers get back-to-back wins.

Shaun Marsh– Melbourne Renegades

Shaun Marsh has arguably been the standout batter for the Renegades by a country mile. In six matches, the left-hander has scored 233 runs at an average and strike-rate of 38.83 and 137.86 respectively.
