Venue: Perth Stadium, Perth
Time: 1:45 PM (IST)
Preview:
Scorchers are having a dream run in this season, winning three out of three matches speaks volumes of the talent they possess. They will be confident when they face Hobart for the second time in a row. The 53-run win saw the Scorchers perform excellently with both bat and ball but it was Mitch Marsh who stole the show with a superb knock of 100 not out and he will look to build on that against the same bowling unit.
On the other hand, Hobart have completely failed to build a foundation after their first win and in their last match they fell short by 53 runs against Scorchers. The team disappointed their fans with both bat and bowl and will be looking to bounce back strongly.
Head to Head:
Pitch Report:
It surely will deliver an exciting battle between bat and bowl, but the batsmen will have an extra edge over bowlers. Fans can expect some big totals on board.
Team Analysis:
Perth Scorchers:
With Mitchell Marsh's heroics in last match and Laurie Evans' cameo, Scorchers are cruising this season and showing complete potential to go a long way. The team is also doing well in the bowling department as Tymal Mill's three wicket haul and Ashton Agar's two wicket helped the team, as they marked yet another comprehensive win.
Hobart Hurricanes
Mathew Wade-led side were unable to build on their first win of the tournament as they were well-beaten by Perth Scorchers last time out and they have to do it all once again in this second clash in succession against the Perth side. Hobart have been disappointing with bat and bowl, and failed to perform collectively as a team to pull off a victory.
Squads
Perth Scorchers Probable Squad:
Colin Munro, Kurtis Patterson, Mitchell Marsh, Josh Inglis (wk), Ashton Turner (c), Laurie Evans, Ashton Agar, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou, Tymal Mills

Match Prediction:
Conclusion:
Scorchers are riding high on successive victories while Hobart are finding their ground where they can win a match and get some motivation, because for now they are looking demotivated with three straight loses. But, one match is enough to change fortunes for a player, team and a nation. With such belief, Hobart should step out on Sunday and play some quality cricket to avenge their last defeat.
