Current Form:

Brisbane Heat:

The Brisbane Heat fought hard in their opening game, but the Melbourne Renegades proved to be too good for the Heat as they went down to a 14 run loss.

Colin Munro and Jimmy Peirson were the most impressive batters for the Heat in their opening game at Geelong while Xavier Bartlett and Jack Wildermuth were handy with the ball.

Perth Scorchers:

The Perth Scorchers were off to the perfect start after rain threatened to rule out the opening game of this season. But in an eleven over shootout against the Sixers, they came out on top.

Cooper Connolly was the star of the show with the bat while Brody Couch led an excellent and controlled bowling effort alongside Joel Paris and Aaron Hardie.

Batting Stats T20

Players to Watch:

Brisbane Heat:

Jack Wildermuth – even though he failed with the bat as an opener, Wildermuth will be backed having done it successfully in the KFC T20 Max, but his bowling was impressive in game one, having taken 3/34 in his four overs.

Jimmy Peirson – it had been two tough years for the wicketkeeper-batter, but he proved his ability in the game against the Renegades, having cracked a 50 off just 21 balls, highlighting a new gear in his game.

Colin Munro – he was excellent for the Trinbago Knight Riders in the CPL and has brought over that form, having started with a fifty off 32 balls to announce his presence.

Perth Scorchers:

Cooper Connolly – having won the player of the tournament award last time in the BBL, Connolly picked up from where he left, having smashed 59 off 31 in the season opener.

Brody Couch – the speedster has completed his move over to Western Australia from Victoria and the Melbourne Stars and has impressed immediately, having picked up 2/12 off his two overs in a rain shortened game.

Aaron Hardie – an important season for Aaron Hardie, who needs to prove his game once more in the BBL as he looks to push for an International spot, he began well with a seven ball 13 and took 1/16 in his two overs.
