BBL Final: Perth Scorchers vs. Brisbane Predictions
—
Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat @ Optus Stadium
The Perth Scorchers have patiently waited for their final opponent, which turned out to be the Brisbane Heat.
The Heat scored an upset win over the Sydney Sixers at $2.58, which was an excellent price for a team riding the wave of momentum. However, bookmakers have the Heat at even longer odds for Saturday’s final and they could be worth entertaining.
They are paying a handsome $3.08, but they will have to beat the Scorchers, which hasn’t been easy. The Scorchers are 2-0 against the Heat this season and they were extremely comfortable victories.
The first meeting came in mid-January with the Heat setting a modest total of 171/9. It was chased down within 16.3 overs for only three wickets lost, so the Scorchers lived up to their name. The second meeting was even more one-sided, which is a concern for Heat punters.
Perth chased down 155 in 16.2 over and lost just two wickets. We’re picking the Heat would want to chase, but it might not matter.
Taking $1.38 in a Twenty/20 match isn’t easy, and although the Scorchers have had the edge all year, it doesn’t mean much in the final. Therefore, take the Heat to end the season with a bang by pulling off a road upset.

Perth Scorchers vs Brisbane Heat Exotic Tips
The Scorchers could be under the pump from the Heat bowlers early, so we’re looking for the likes of Ashton Turner to come up big in the late stages.
Turner is often a fix-it player for the Scorchers, so if the openers get into trouble, he could come in and lead the Scorchers in the runs department.
He is being well-respected in betting markets at $7.25, which is worth taking. There is value in the price and his experience could come to the fore.
The Heat needed only 117 runs to beat Sydney in the semi-final, where Michael Neser scored an inspired 48 runs. We don’t expect the bowler to have that impact again, so take Josh Brown to top score for the Heat.
Brown had 20 runs on Thursday, which was the second-best in his team. It’s not a huge total, but he should be pumped for the final and $5 is a fair price from bookmakers.
However, we like Neser to win Player of the Match. He’s a threat to take over the game with the bat and ball, and his odds have firmed into $10. We like those odds for the Heat all-rounder, who could snare some early wickets.
The current favourite is Aaron Hardie and Josh Inglis at $7.75, so it’s an open market and there is value to be snapped up for the Big Bash final.
