SCO vs STA Australian T20 League 2022-23 | Match Preview & Top Picks
When the Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Stars square off on Thursday, December 29 at Perth Stadium, they will have a fantastic opportunity to climb to the top of the points standings. The Stars, headed by Adam Zampa, had a dismal start to the year, winning only one of their first four games.
They just lost to the Sydney Sixers by seven wickets, and their batting effort was, to put it mildly, subpar. The only player who stepped up and scored 78 runs off of 51 deliveries was Beau Webster, while others failed to capitalise on the chance.
Trent Boult did not do well with the ball in the last game, but captain Zampa, Luke Wood, and Webster each claimed one victim. In the current Australian T20 League, the squad has only succeeded in defeating the Hobart Hurricanes.
In their most recent encounter, the Ashton Turner-led Scorchers defeated the league-leading Adelaide Strikers by three wickets. Turner, the club’s skipper, came up in a crucial circumstance and hit 48* off 38 deliveries to secure the win for his side.
With the ball, Andrew Tye displayed excellent skill, taking three wickets while Jason Behrendorff and Ashton Agar both claimed one.
