Preview:
Brisbane Heat will face Perth Scorchers in the 53rd match of the tournament. Brisbane Heat are almost out of the tournament after a defeat against Melbourne Stars by 8 wickets in their previous game on Sunday.

Perth Scorchers, on the other hand, are more likely to finish at the top of the standings. Their key players, Josh Inglis, Colin Munro, and Mitchell Marsh are available for selection for this match, which is an added advantage for them. This will be their final league fixture and want to end on a higher note.
