The 12th match of the ongoing Big Bash League 2022-23 season will bring defending champions Perth Scorchers up against Melbourne Stars at the Junction Oval on Friday afternoon. The Stars suffered a narrow defeat to Sydney Thunders in the first game but bounced back well to beat Hobart Hurricanes. Meanwhile, Scorchers defeated Sydney Sixers but succumbed against Hobart Hurricanes in their second fixture of the season. Let's look at the match prediction for the upcoming fixture.
Toss Prediction
Perth Scorchers are more likely to win the toss in upcoming fixture as they have won one out of the last two tosses in BBL games. Whereas, Stars have lost both the tosses in last three games.
Win Possibility
Melbourne Stars have a better chance to win the game as they have been in a better form so far and won their previous game against Hobart Hurricanes quite comprehensively. Stars' wicketkeeper batter Joe Clarke smashed brilliant century in his last game and will look to continue his form in the upcoming fixture. Their bowling also looked good against Hurricanes as Luke Wood and skipper Adam Zampa managed to pick three wickets in the game. Even Nathan Coulter-Nile contributed with two wickets.
Predicted powerplay score and average first innings total
The surface at Junction Oval has always provided great assistance to the fast bowlers but batters can also enjoy good time if they implement themselves well. Considering power-packed batting line-up in both the teams, we can expect 1st inning score to be around 160-170.
