Melbourne Stars lost their first game and now have to contend without having Maxwell for the next game. Perth Scorchers had a tough time in the first game on a pitch that was unsafe enough for the game to be called off. Their batters though did do a decent job fighting that pitch with some crisp shots from Aaron Hardie.

MS vs PS Key Players

Josh Inglis

Josh Inglis is now an Australian regular and is probably the best wicket-keeper in the country at the moment. He is solid in the middle-order and a good tournament here could spice things up with T20 World Cup selection.

Marcus Stoinis

Marcus Stoinis has been inconsistent in recent times. He did not bowl in the first game and struggled with the bat too. With Maxwell out the Stars need him to step up to make things go forward.

MS vs PS Match Tips

Perth Scorchers are favorites with their record in the tournament.
