Perth Scorchers sealed a spot for the knockout stages of BBL13，defeating Brisbane Heat in front of the home crowd at the Perth Stadium.
With the second-place finish on the line, Perth Scorchers are well aware that their opponents will be coming hard at them.
Cooper Connolly moving down the order has paid great dividends, helping the Scorchers to pack their lower middle order with some heavy hitters like Nick Hobson, who whacked two fours and four sixes against the Heat on his way to a quickfire 48 from 30.

Sydney Sixers qualifying through to playoffs is a formality in BBL.The last time they finished outside of the top four was in 2017/18 season, which is a good six seasons ago. In fact, they have never failed to finish in the top two in the last four seasons going back to 2018/19. That’s some feat.

They were ruthless against the Stars two games ago, and managed to somehow pick up a win against a tentative Thunder side which had no answers to spinner Steve O’Keefe who picked up three crucial wickets to set up a 19-run victory.

Perth Scorchers go up against Sydney Sixers for bragging rights for the second spot on the ladder. In the recent past, the men in Orange have dominated the men in magenta, both home and away. And we reckon the Scorchers will register another win at home this season

MI Cape Town started the season on a losing note after the DLS ruling in their opening game against Durban Super Giants. The bowlers did a fine job delivering regular breakthroughs while defending 207 runs but Henrich Klaasen of the Super Giants snatched the game away.

Now that is a rarity in T20 cricket but it is nonetheless a great sign for MI Cape Town going ahead. The middle-order features some big guns like Dewald Brewis, Liam Livingstone, and skipper Kieron Pollard coming in at number 5

One of the characteristics of the Sunrisers' Eastern Cape batting lineup is the lack of specialist batters. They’ve got Marco Jansen coming in at number 6 followed by Beyers Swanepoel and Liam Dawson.
Sunrisers Eastern Cape have the potential to post a big total and with the right playing conditions, they would likely bounce back. However, we aren’t so impressed with their bowling attack.

MI Cape Town will start as favorites in our match prediction.

Sydney Thunder in their last match of the tournament and as a result we would be surprised if they did not make at least one change for this game. Furthermore, their season is over and there is not much difference between finishing in either seventh or eighth in the BBL table so they may as well give opportunities to some younger players.

They do have plenty of experienced heads in the side though, and if the trio at the top of the batting order - Hales, Warner and Bancroft - can all play their part, then they will be hard to beat.

Marsh will be a big loss for the Renegades and he is one of the few players in the team in strong form! He took the Player of the Match Award in the Melbourne derby with 64 not out from 49 balls and he has hit three half-centuries from five innings in this campaign. Jake Fraser-McGurk, at only 22 years of age, is another in red who has been batting to a high standard.

Sydney Thunder certainly have the players who could pull off a surprise win from nowhere but throughout this campaign we have not seen enough consistency from the team with either bat or ball. Melbourne Renegades come into this game after a confidence building win over their city rivals and we expect Scott Edwards to be a positive addition to the side. We are predicting a win for the Renegades to end the group stage of this season's BBL.

There was one question which the Australia selectors had to answer ahead of this series which was: What's the best way to replace an opener with a Test batting average of 44.59? And they have settled on the answer: replace him at the top of the order with a man with a Test batting average of 58.01! Steve Smith, who has dominated Test bowling attacks over he last decade, will stride out to the middle alongside Usman Khawaja to open the innings in Adelaide.

Australia have no injuries which means the tried and tested quad of captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon will do the bulk of the bowling. Warner's retirement and Smith's shunt up the order has also helped the bowling attack who now have all-rounder Cameron Green to take on the role of the fifth option.

Of the six players without Test experience in West Indies' squad, we expect to see Kavem Hodge, Justin Greaves and Shamar Joseph making their debuts for the side at the Adelaide Oval.
With the bat, we can expect the bulk of West Indies' runs to come from captain Kraigg Brathwaite, fellow opener Tagenarine Chanderpaul and Alick Athanaze who has made a decent impression since coming into the national team last year.

Kemar Roach and Alzarri Joseph will lead the bowling attack and hopes are high that left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie can add to his impressive start at this level which has delivered 22 wickets from four Tests.

Australia are in excellent Test form, particularly at home, and their squad looks far stronger and with more depth in every position than West Indies. Hopes are high with the visitors that they can start a new era of Test cricket where they can compete with the big boys again however our prediction is for Australia to get the win.

In the previous match, opener Finn Allen was the standout player with the bat for New Zealand and finished the innings with the top-score of 74 runs off 41 balls with the help of seven fours and five sixes.
Besides Finn Allen, Kane Williamson scored 26 runs off 15 balls with the help of three fours and one six, whereas Mitchell Santner chipped in with 25 runs off 13 balls with the help of three boundaries and two sixes.

On the bowling front, the onus will be on the likes of pacers Tim Southee, Adam Milne, Ben Sears along with the spin duo of Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner to provide crucial breakthroughs.
In the previous match, pacer Adam Milne was the standout bowler on display for New Zealand and claimed 4 for 33 in his four overs.Besides Milne, Tim Southee, Ben Sears and Ish Sodhi bowled well for New Zealand and claimed two wickets apiece

In the previous match, Babar Azam showcased excellent form with the bat for Pakistan and finished the innings with the top-score of 66 runs off 43 balls with the help of seven boundaries and two sixes. He was well supported by Fakhar Zaman, who smashed quick-fire 50 off 25 balls with the help of three fours and five sixes.

the prediction is for New Zealand to secure another win and complete the series triumph

Rohit Sharma, the skipper has scored two ducks in a row and will be eager to get some runs under his belt in the last match of this series. Though it was some bad calling from Shubman Gill that resulted in Rohit being runout in the first T20I, in the second he was out bowled by Fazalhaq Farooqi on the first ball.

However, his opening partner, Yashasvi Jaiswal, who replaced Gill, played an impressive knock of 68 runs off 34 balls with 5 fours and 6 sixes. India have decided to go with Jitesh Sharma and Rinku Singh in the lower middle order as their designated finishers.

Axar Patel has also found a place in the XI and though he hasn’t batted yet, he’s picked 4 wickets so far at an economy of 5 r.p.o. He’s been the only consistent bowler for India so far along with Shivam Dube who’s picked a wicket both games.

Afghanistan improved their batting returns in the second match but the total wasn’t enough for this power-packed Indian batting lineup. Virat Kohli seems to enjoy batting against Afghanistan bowlers and though he didn’t score big, he surely made quick runs putting Afghans on the backfoot.

He will be the number 1 challenge for Afghanistan on this ground. Ibrahim Zadran needs to come up with a strategy to get Kohli out early in the innings. India’s top 4 feature two senior players who’re among the best in the world along with two up-and-coming batsmen who are in great form.

he good news is that Gulbadin Naib scored 57 off 35 balls after he replaced Azmatullah at number 3. An experienced bowling all-rounder, Naib didn’t bowl a single over in the last match but should be the skipper’s choice during the middle-overs in Bengaluru.

India will be the clear favorites to win this match in our prediction.

Paarl Royals and Joburg Super Kings go head to head in a thrilling SA20 clash at Paarl on Thursday night. The Royals, with 2 wins in 2 matches, are comfortably placed at the top half of the table along with table-toppers Durban’s Super Giants. The men from Paarl will be looking to turn this momentum into a juggernaut with another dominating performance against the Super Kings, who are stuck in the bottom half with 2 losses in 3 matches.

They eased past Capitals in their first encounter and were looking good to defeat them by a huge margin after scoring 210 runs batting first in the second. Ngidi knocked over two Capitals batsmen in the first over of the second innings, but Will Jacks and Rilee Rossouw carted the Royals’ attack all-round the park, scoring nearly 150 runs in the next 12 overs.

Joburg Super Kings dropped just three matches in the group stages before going on to play the knockouts. Having lost twice already in three matches this season, they are now in a bit of a bother. In their match against MI Cape Town, they ran into Rassie Van Der Dussen in red-hot form, who carted Super Kings bowlers on his way to a brilliant century. Chasing 244, they never got going and eventually folded to 145, losing by 98 runs and conceding a bonus point as well.

We are backing Paarl Royals as the winners of this contest.
