Perth Scorchers are ready to face Melbourne Renegades in the match 43 of the Big Bash League (BBL) in Perth on Monday.

In the previous meeting between both teams earlier in the competition, it was the Renegades who came out on top with four-wicket margin.

In their previous game, Renegades registered a 12-run win against Sydney Thunder in Sydney. In the batting department, the team will be relying on the likes of captain Aaron Finch, veteran middle-order batsman Cameron White and Tom Cooper to score bulk of the runs, whereas in the bowling department, the onus will be on the likes of Daniel Christian, Kane Richardson and Mohammad Nabi to provide timely breakthroughs.

In their previous match, Scorchers suffered a six-wicket defeat against Sydney Thunder at the same venue where Monday's match will be played. In the batting department, the team will be relying on the likes of experienced Shaun Marsh, in-form Ashton Turner and wicketkeeper-batsman Cameron Bancroft to score bulk of the runs, whereas in the bowling department, the onus will be on the pace trio of Nathan Coulter-Nile, Andrew Tye and Jason Behrendorff to provide timely breakthroughs.

Key Players:


Shaun Marsh – 10 Cr

First in the list of key players features Perth Scorchers' Shaun Marsh. The left-hander is a proven talent in the shorter formats and is in great form of late. In the team's previous match, Marsh scored a brilliant 96 not out off just 56 balls with the help of five fours and five sixes. Since Monday's match will be played at the same venue and looking at Marsh's form, it becomes evident that he is a player to have in your team. The 35-year-old has played in 167 T20s, where he has scored 5,587 runs at an average of 39.90, which included two centuries and 43 fifties.

Aaron Finch – 10.5 Cr

Second in the list of key players features Melbourne Renegades' Aaron Finch. The right-hander is under pressure to regain his lost form after having a hard time at the international level. However, in the Renegades' previous match, Finch scored valuable 54 runs and played an important role in getting the team over the line. Therefore, Finch, who is valued at 10.5 Cr, might not prove to be a bad pick for your team for the match on Monday.

Kane Richardson – 9 Cr

Last in the list of key players features Melbourne Renegades' Kane Richardson. The right-arm pacer is having an excellent time with the ball in hand for the franchise as he is currently the leading wicket-taker in the competition with 18 scalps in just nine outings at an average of 15 and strike-rate of just 11.9. In the team's previous outing, the 27-year-old had impressive figures of two for 31, which also included 11 dot balls – joint most in the match. Those numbers suggest that Richardson, who is valued at 9 Cr, is the player to have in your team for the match on Monday.
