BBL 2018-19, Match 43: Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades: Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips – Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Update

Perth Scorchers have been far from their standards in this Big Bash League winning only three of the ten matches they played thus far. One of the main reasons for their poor performances in this season has been their inconsistency with the ball. The Scorchers are known for their pace-attack which has failed to make an impact except for one or two matches. Andrew Tye, who has been the best bowler over the last couple of seasons, failed in more of the games.

They need to win all their remaining four matches to have a chance of making it to the semi-final. They will take on Melbourne Renegades in their 11th match. The Renegades are in quite a better position compared to the Scorchers having won six of their 11 matches. Renegades, led by Aaron Finch, have won four of their six matches after a hat-trick of defeats.
