Defending champion and table-toppers Perth Scorchers (SCO) will host Hobart Hurricanes (HUR) in the Match No. 46 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 at Optus Stadium in Perth on Wednesday (January 18). The Scorchers suffered a narrow six-run defeat against Sydney Sixers in their last game but are firmly at the top of the table with 17 points from the first 11 matches. Peter Hatzoglou took two wickets while the opener Stephen Eskinazi top-scored unbeaten 66 off 54 against the Sixers in the last match.
The Hurricanes are also coming into this match with a win over Sydney Thunder in their last game to remain in the race for the knockouts. Nathan Ellis took four wickets, including a hat-trick across two overs, to bowl out the David Warner’s Thunder for just 135 runs, and then Tim David smashed 76 not out off 41 to guide the Hurricanes to an easy five-wicket win.
The Scorchers have won four of their last five games against the Hurricanes and will once again be the favourites to win this clash.
