Aus T20 League 2021

Match 5, SCO vs HEA

Preview

Three time champions Perth take the field against Chris Lynn’s Brisbane in match 5 of the Aus T20 League 2021 on Wednesday, December 8. Scorchers were successful in the previous edition and finished second after the league stages. While they lost the qualifier to  Sixers, they knocked out Heat in the eliminator to enter the finals. Sadly, they were beaten by the Sixers who claimed their third title. Nonetheless, they will take confidence from an extraordinary last season, coming into this edition. 

Scorchers are unarguably one of the consistent units of this tournament. They have a perfect mix of exuberant youth and senior pros in their lineup. The team has plenty of big names like Chris Munro, Mitchel Marsh and Josh Inglis who are more than capable to single handedly take the game away from the opposition. Mitch Marsh has come on the back of a successful World T20 series. He will look to carry the great form in this game.

Heat on the other hand are playing their second game of the tournament. They lost their opening fixture against Thunder and would thus be keen to open their account. Batting first, Chris Lynn’s men could only muster 140 runs. Ben Duckett top scored with 46. The men in blue need to sort out their batting woes before heading into this encounter. Ahead of this enthralling clash, let us have a look at how these two outfits fare out in today’s clash
