SCO vs HEA Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for Today's BBL Match - Feb 4th, 2021

The Challenger of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021 has the Perth Scorchers taking on the Brisbane Heat at the Manuka Oval on Thursday.

The Brisbane Heat have been on a roll with three consecutive wins in the BBL in the build-up to this game. Chris Lynn and his men have turned out complete performances with the ball, with Marnus Labuschagne and Mitchell Swepson wreaking havoc off late.

Adding to their bowling exploits, Sam Heazlett's coming-of-age knock in the previous game against the Thunder hands the Heat much-needed momentum ahead of their clash against the Scorchers.

Speaking of the Scorchers, the three-time BBL champions have been impressive this season although they have lost their last two games.

Their batting unit, along with this season's leading wicket-taker Jhye Richardson, has come to the fore more often than not with telling performances.

Given their depth and experience, the Scorchers will fancy their chances. However, it isn't as straightforward as said.

The previous fixture between the two sides saw the Heat choke the Scorchers with the spin threat of Labuschagne and Swepson.

While they lack the same firepower their opponents boast of, the Heat should be a handful for the Scorchers in what should be a cracking game.

Pitch Report

A fresh pitch beckons at the Manuka Oval, which should have enough to keep the bowlers interested. Apart from some early swing with the new ball, the spinners should extract some turn as the game progresses.

However, the pitch shouldn't change much from the first innings with the ball skidding on nicely under lights. 160 should be par at this venue, and either side is likely to chase upon winning the toss.
