Perth Scorchers are having a good campaign thus far as they look to get more points moving ahead. They are currently 2nd in the points table after 4 games with 6 points. The NRR is a +1.625.
The Scorchers batting is quiet good and they have the quality to add amass runs. Bowling wise they look for tightening up the opponents.
Head coach Adam Voges will ask his men to be ready for the regular campaign.
On the other hand, Melbourne Stars are not having a good campaign as they find themselves rock bottom of the table. They are 7th in the points table after 4 games with just 2 points. The NRR is a -0.398.
Team Green batting haven’t been bad and will again look to continue the good run. In terms of their bowling they can be more accurate.
