HEA vs SCO Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for BBL 2021-22, Match 53

The Brisbane Heat (HEA) will take on the Perth Scorchers (SCO) in the 53rd match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021-22 at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne on Monday.

The Brisbane Heat are almost out of the running for a place in the playoffs and currently occupy the penultimate position in the BBL11 points table. They lost their previous encounter against the Melbourne Stars by eight wickets. The Brisbane Heat have had to chop and change their team frequently due to COVID-related absences and have struggled for consistency this season. Perth Scorchers, on the other hand, have been the most well-oiled units in the BBL. They are atop the table and are likely to retain their position until the conclusion of the league stage.
