Teams Analysis Before the Match

Let's quickly review the preparation of both teams before their much-awaited contest on Wednesday, December 20, 2023.

Perth Scorchers

Perth Scorchers have made a steady start to their KFC Big Bash League 2023-24 winning 1 match out of the 2 where the other match against Renegades was abandoned due to damp patches on the pitch. However, in their second match against the Stars, Scorcher outclassed them and showed why they are so dominant in the Big Bash League.

The bowling unit of Scorchers is world class and they showed real character and performance against Stars where Beherendorff was the star with the ball picking up 3 wickets while Jhye Richardson and Hamish McKenzie scalped 2 wickets each. Later, Scorcher chased down the target quite easily in the 14th over where each batsman made a little contribution.

Therefore, their dominant performance in recent matches, excellent team combination, and match preparation would rate them the favorite to win the match in our Perth Scorchers vs Hobart Hurricanes prediction.

Currently, Scorchers are sitting at the 3rd position on the KFC BBL Points Table 2023-24 with 3 points and they would definitely move higher on the ranks from here.

Hobart Hurricanes

Hobart Hurricanes started the KFC Big Bash League season 2023-24 with a loss against Sydney Sixers.

The batting lineup of this team seemed to be struggling to find some form and hitting boundaries. Caleb Jewel played a fantastic innings of 42 in just 24 balls for the team in this match and Patrick Dooley who is a specialist spinner, was the second top scorer for the team.

This shows the team’s batting woes and big players like Tim David, Matthew Wade, and Ben McDermott need to step up for the team to play big innings in the upcoming match against Scorchers.

As far as bowling is concerned, the Hurricanes have quality bowling and they did well in the match against the Sixers where Corey Anderson was the pick of the bowlers and Nathan Ellis and Riley Meredith were also good. Currently, Hurricanes are sitting at the 6th position in the BBL points table 2023-24.
