The second match of the Boxing Day BBL double header sees the Scorchers host the Heat.
Head to Head
The Scorchers have a remarkable record at home so are tough to bet against, even if their start to BBL 14 has been sketchy.
They have won 27 of their last 31 matches at Optus, including their last seven against the Heat.
Aaron Hardie looks certain to play his first match of the year for the home side, while Josh Inglis and Jhye Richardson remain on national duty. English international Tom Banton will make his first appearance for the Heat and Spencer Johnson will return from injury.
Chasing teams have won eight of the first nine but the Heat have won seven straight batting first.
The Scorchers have lost their last two, albeit narrowly, but rhere isn’t much between these teams so home ground advantage gives the Scorchers the edge.
Best Bets
Connolly is a rising star of Australian cricket, who has scored 25+ in five of his last six innings and his last four at home. He’s got two fifties in his first three knocks this series.
Value Bet
The big Kiwi loves playing in Perth, scoring fifties in three of his five innings at Optus Stadium with an average of 40.
