SCO vs HEA Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Big Bash League T20 Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat, 19 January

SCO vs HEA Dream11: With 5 wins apiece, Perth Scorchers and Brisbane Heat will be up against each other Docklands in Melbourne. Both the teams are exactly at the middle of the points table and a win in this game will move them higher. After winning 5 games in a row, Perth Scorchers finally lost a game to the Sixers. But still they will consider themselves in a better position considering their start. With a top three comprising of quality T20 players like Roy, Livingstone and Munro, the top order looks threatening. Skipper Ashton Turner will hold the finishing responsibilities down the order. The bowling has the variety with Jhye Richardson in top wicket taking form. Behrendorff and Tye have complemented him well. With a win in this game, the Scorchers will look to make a significant step towards the BBL finals.

Brisbane Heat meanwhile, have been in quite a similar position having won 4 out of their last 5 games after starting off the tournament poorly. Skipper Chris Lynn has been consistent at the top while Denly and Burns have been getting runs in the middle order. Steketee has led the bowling attack with most wickets for his team and Wildermuth lends perfect balance to this lineup with his ability with the new ball and late hitting at the death. With Morkel now having returned to the squad, the Heat are now looking a decent bowling attack.
