SCO vs HEA Dream11 Prediction: All you need to know about the BBL match between Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat.
Perth Scorchers are in the 2nd position with 5 wins in 7 matches. They lost their last game against the Sydney Thunder by 6 wickets. They are in good form as a team, especially in the bowling department. The batting meanwhile, is their weak point as they don’t have enough depth in their batting. Ashton Turner and Josh Inglis are the only consistent players with the bat.
Brisbane Heat are in the 7th position with 2 wins in 7 games. Their last game against the Sydney Sixers was washed out. Heat is going through a lean patch as well. They need to be consistent with the bat. The likes of Colin Munro and Sam Billings must perform consistently. Their pacers are in good form while the spinners have been ineffective in most of the games. Brisbane will be eyeing a win in this game.

Perth Scorchers despite Faf du Plessis and Jhye Richardson’s absence is looking more balanced than the Brisbane Heat. They have an excellent bowling attack and are expected to win this game.
Michael Neser: Michael Neser scored 45* runs in the last game. He is the lead pacer for Brisbane and is capable with the bat as well. He picked up 3 wickets in the second last game. Neser will be a popular captaincy pick in fantasy cricket.
Josh Inglis: Josh Inglis is expected to bat at 3 in this game or he can even open the innings as well. He’s one of the best batters in the Big Bash League and can win games on his own when on song. Inglis has been in excellent form as well this season. He will be an excellent captaincy option.
Andrew Tye: Andrew Tye will be the lead bowler for the Scorchers in Richardson’s absence. He will bowl in the power surge and in the death overs. He has been in great form and can pick up a few wickets in this game. Tye will be a good captaincy choice.
Matt Kelly: Matt Kelly has been decent in the couple of games that he has played in BBL 12. He will be an important bowler in Jhye Richardson’s absence. Kelly picked up one wicket and scored 17 runs as well. He will be an ideal differential pick.
David Payne: David Payne is expected to play this game for the Perth Scorchers. He is a good left-arm pacer who can swing the new ball and is decent in the death overs as well. Payne will be a top differential pick.
Josh Brown: Josh Brown played an exceptional inning against the Sydney Sixers. He will be an excellent differential pick as he can score big once he gets going. He will be an important player for Brisbane at the top.
Nick Hobson: Nick Hobson has played well in only one game this season. He has been struggling a lot with the bat and can be avoided in your fantasy teams.
