Preview:
Perth lost a heartbreaker on Thursday night against the Thunder, falling by a lone run despite an unbeaten 60 from Ashton Turner.
Brisbane’s start to the season has been just as agonising, failing to hit the win column in their three games. The Heat were beaten by five wickets against the Sixers on New Year’s Day, but their 2-3 record as the away underdog against the Scorchers makes them a tough side to back in this one.
Since Perth have played only one game at home so far this season, a seven-wicket win over the Strikers, they should have no problem claiming their first win over the Heat since 2017.
