MBBL|12 Predictions – Match 61

Tonight’s prediction: Perth Scorchers 67% chance to defeat Brisbane Heat

Woe be upon the Sydney Sixers, whose MBBL campaign came to a close with a shambolic performance on their home ground. Winning the toss and choosing to bat themselves, a very sluggish innings with only seven boundaries saw them fail to reach a run a ball, the largely-untouched Brisbane Heat bowling lineup bowling very tightly. The batting from the Heat was spotty, but hero Michael Neser made a career-best 48* at No. 7 to steer Brisbane home with an over and a half to spare.

Tonight, all eyes go to Perth Stadium to watch…what seems like it could be predetermined, the Perth Scorchers by far a stronger team on paper and prepared to win their fifth MBBL title (and second in a row). T20 is a very funny game, though…
