Head To Head

Analysis

Perth are sitting at 5th in the table with 21 points in their 10 matches (5W-4L-1NR). Heat also have played 10 matches (5W-5L) are placed 6th with 20 points.

Average score between these two sides is 143. Perth being a dominant bowling side and Heat’s inability to set targets have most often resulted in low scoring games between the two sides.

Brisbane Heat have lost Muhjeeb-Ur-Rahman to national duty and Morne Morkel is expected to replace him.

The important factor to consider here is in the past 10 games of BBL, the teams chasing have won 8 of them. The initial part of the tournament had many wins for the teams batting 1st. The law of averages has started catching up. Also teams have started to understand the concept of Super Subs and Power Surges (which generally support chasing sides better).
