SCO vs STA Today Match Prediction : Perth Scorchers will take on Melbourne Stars in their second match of Big Bash League 10 in Launceston today in the afternoon. Perth Scorchers lost their opening game to Melbourne Renegades by 7 wickets and they will look to bounce back. On the other side, Melbourne Stars with two back to back wins have had a good start of their new season and they will look to continue their good run.
Here we are going to discuss strengths and weakness of Perth Scorchers as well as of Melbourne Stars and will also make our SCO vs STA Today Match Prediction
Strengths :
Perth Scorchers have a balanced squad as they have a batting line up of Colin Munro, Josh Inglis the young keeper was good in last season, Joe Clarke – new young talent of England, Mitchell Marsh, Cameron Bancroft and Ashton Turner so their batting line up is pretty good and then in the bowling attack they have Jhye Richardson, Jason Behrendroff, Andrew Tye who have been good over the years with their pace bowling and then in the spin they have Fawad Ahmed so their side is looking quite good on papers at least.
On the other hand, Melbourne Stars is the most consistent team of this tournament for the last a few seasons in the league stage. Captain Glenn Maxwell leads from front and the likes of Marcus Stoinis, Nick Larkin, Hilton Cartwright, Adam Zampa and Nathan Coulter Nile too have been impressive and they too have a balanced squad.
Weaknesses :
Perth Scorcher’s weakness is the inconsistency of their batting line up and if they lose some early wickets then their middle order crumble under pressure and neither they have an experienced batter who can build the innings and in bowling Andrew Tye leaks runs in the middle and death overs.
On the other hand, Melbourne Stars don’t have much weakness but they have suffered from injury set backs as their two main pacers Nathan Coulter Nile and Dilbar Hussain aren’t 100% fit.
Here we are going to discuss both Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars’ playing combination and probable playing XIs who will be useful for making SCO vs STA Dream11 Team
Perth Scorchers will back their first match’s playing 11 for one more match and they might remain unchanged. On the other hand, Melbourne Stars might make some changes as Nic Maddinson is back in the squad and should come back in the playing 11 too.

SCO vs STA Today Match Prediction :
Here we are going to discuss about a few players from both sides who can be very good picks for SCO vs STA Dream 11 Prediction teams
Glenn Maxwell : Since the start of India series he is in top form and has carried that form into this tournament as well. In the first two matches he played 46 and 39 runs knocks and also bowling some overs of spin so on current form he is a must pick.
Jhye Richardson : He is a good pacer and in the first match he picked up 2 wickets at a good economy rate and down the order he is also a handy batsman.
Marcus Stoinis : The most consistent batsman of this league and after a duck in the first match he bounced back and scored 60 odd runs against Sydney Thunder and will look to continue from where he left in this match.
Mitchell Marsh : The all rounder has been good in this league and in middle overs he can hit spinners for big shots so he will be a crucial player for his team and now don’t have captaincy so it’ll release some pressure off him and he also bowls some overs of medium pace.
