SCO vs HUR 46th Match Probable winners:

Hobart Hurricanes have an impressive batting line-up but they have struggled to produce consistent performances. Whereas Perth Scorchers have quality across the team and have won the big moments in most of the matches. Although Perth Scorchers have an excellent record over Hobart Hurricanes, a win for the visitors will mean that they have done the double over the 2021-22 BBL Champions. The Hurricanes have been in the lower half of the table all season but have now won successive games for the first time. We expect a close game but are backing Perth Scorchers to get the win. Considering the team combination, Perth Scorchers is expected to win this match.
