STA vs SCO Today Match Prediction : Melbourne Stars will take on Perth Scorchers in their 13th match of Big Bash League 10 in Melbourne on Friday, 23 January. Melbourne Stars have 24 points from 12 matches and they need to win this match to reach in top two. On the other side, Perth Scorchers have 28 points from 12 matches and they also need to win this match to stay in top two.
Here we are going to discuss strengths and weakness of Melbourne Stars as well as of Perth Scorchers and will also make our STA vs SCO Today Match Prediction
Strengths :
Melbourne Stars’ strength is their batting unit of Marcus Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell, Nick Larkin, Nic Maddinson and Hilton Cartwright and most of them have played some useful knocks so far. Then in the bowling the return of Nathan Coulter Nile from injury has strengthened their pace attack and then in spin they have a match winner in Adam Zampa.
On the other hand, Perth Scorchers too have a solid team as in batting they have destructive batsmen in Jason Roy, Liam Livingstone, Colin Munro, Ashton Turner and Josh Inglis and all rounder Mitchell Marsh is also back and he will be the finisher and then in bowling they have Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff and Fawad Ahmed who make a good bowling attack.
Weaknesses :
Melbourne Stars’ weakness is the inconsistency of their batsmen as Andre Fletcher hasn’t scored big runs and now he is out due to an injury and then the likes of Hilton Cartwright and Seb Gotch too have failed to score big runs and in pace attack they have only Nathan Coulter Nile who has performed consistently.
On the other hand, Perth Scorchers’ worry will be the inconsistency of Jason Roy as the openers scored in one innings and then fails in three so they will hope he will be more consistent.
