Brisbane Heat will square off against Perth Scorchers in the 53rd match of the Big Bash League 2021-22 at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne on Monday.
Brisbane Heat are struggling in the competition, languishing in the bottom half of the table. They have won only three of their 12 games, and have 15 points in their kitty. They are coming off a heavy loss against the Melbourne Stars in their last game.
Batting first, Brisbane Heat managed only 149 in their allotted twenty overs. Ben Duckett, coming in at no. three, top-scored with 51. Their bowlers failed to create inroads as the Stars chased down the target in the 14th over.

After being asked to bat first, the Scorchers managed only 127-9. Laurie Evans top-scored with 39 as the other batters failed to contribute.

Can the Heat (HEA) beat the Scorchers (SCO)?
Brisbane Heat have had a miserable campaign so far. Nothing has gone right for them so far, having lost to the Stars in their last game. Perth Scorchers, meanwhile, were flying high, but lost to the Strikers in their previous outing. Nevertheless, they will be confident of their chances against the Heat, and will start as the favourites.
Meanwhile, Brisbane Heat have some exciting players in their ranks. If they play to their potential, they might have an upset win over the Scorchers in their next clash.
