PS vs MR, BBL|15: Today’s Match Prediction

In Match 26 of Big Bash League Season 15 (BBL|15), Perth Scorchers return to Optus Stadium on Wednesday to face Melbourne Renegades. Currently occupying second place on the table with a 4-2 win record, the Scorchers are searching for their fourth consecutive victory – a result that would effectively cement their position within the top four.

Perth has turned their home ground into an impenetrable fortress, remaining undefeated in their last three matches at the venue. This dominance is fuelled by a high-performing core of local stars, including Mitchell Marsh, Ashton Turner, Aaron Hardie and the versatile Cooper Connolly. Their collective form has made the Scorchers one of the most balanced and intimidating units in the competition this season.

In contrast, the Melbourne Renegades arrive with a 2-3 record, desperately trying to keep their season alive. They travel to Perth with some renewed confidence after snapping a losing streak via a dramatic ‘derby’ win over the Stars, highlighted by a decisive knock from Josh Brown.

Perth Stadium Pitch Report

Optus Stadium in Perth is renowned for offering significant extra bounce and raw pace, which play directly into the hands of the bowling attack. Batters can expect a difficult time handling the fast bowlers, particularly when they target a hard length, making it difficult to score freely.

In addition to the surface speed, the large square boundaries provide an extra layer of protection for the bowlers, forcing batters to take higher risks to clear the rope. Historically, conditions favour the bowlers early on; however, as the pitch levels out, the surface typically becomes slightly more manageable for batting during the second innings.

Squads

Perth Scorchers: Mitchell Marsh, Sam Fanning, Cooper Connolly, Aaron Hardie, Ashton Turner (c), Nick Hobson, Brody Couch, Finn Allen, Mahli Beardman, Jhye Richardson, Laurie Evans, Joel Paris, David Payne, Corey Rocchiccioli

Melbourne Renegades: Josh Brown, Tim Seifert, Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Oliver Peake, Will Sutherland (c), Matthew Spoors, Gurinder Sandhu, Caleb Jewell, Jason Behrendorff, Hassan Khan, Sam Elliott, Callum Stow, Andrew Tye
