Perth first six overs score over 43.5 runs

For the longest time, Perth Scorchers were the epitome of percentage cricket, right from the moneyball theory and that made them one of the most successful teams in the franchise T20 cricket universe. Even though they changed their philosophy a little bit after Langer’s departure from the coaching role, the Western Australian franchise ended up winning the whole thing with the sheer virtue of making sure things worked out well for them. One of the major factors behind their success is how they batted in the first six overs. With an average of 55.36 runs in the time frame on an average, Perth have the best power play performance in the tournament. That they have Faf du Plessis in the team makes things even spicer. Since 2020, the former South African skipper has a powerplay strike rate of 139.87 in T20 cricket and Green has a powerplay strike rate of 143.23 in the last year. That points to the fact that Perth can actually have a great game against the Stars. Perth have an average strike rate of 137.65 in the last couple of seasons and against Melbourne Stars, the corresponding number goes up to 142.71. Don’t put yourself down here because 1XBET is clearly providing you a clearly significant boost with odds of 1.8 on Perth’s first six overs scores to be over 43.5 runs in this MS vs PS encounter.

Faf du Plessis to score over 22.5 runs

What Faf du Plessis has done in his T20 career can’t be put to mere words and not seen with a class of reverence. When he played for Chennai Super Kings, the former South African skipper made a legend for himself with regular bursts of performance but his overall performance tells a story of sheer pragmatism. His average of 31.05 with a strike rate of 130.9 in his 310-match T20 career tells you the kind of batter he is in the shortest format of the game. Since 2018, in every single calendar year, he has averaged above 35, making sure consistency is his biggest forte. His importance can be understood from the fact that he has an average of 35.05 in wins since his T20 debut with a very clear understanding of what works and what doesn’t for his batting. The former South African skipper averages 37.31 in the powerplay, 37.8 in the middle overs and 32.94 in the death overs - almost maintaining the equanimity thus giving us hope that success is the only way forward for him in the ongoing edition of the Big Bash League. With our affiliate partner 1XBET providing odds of 1.832 for Faf du Plessis to score over 22.5 runs in this MS vs PS encounter, don’t shoot yourself away.

Green to score over 18.5 runs

Despite being a complete greenhorn, there is a reason why Cameron Green has been so highly talked about. If things work out well, he would walk away with the biggest paycheck in the Indian Premier League auction table on Friday. He has been a revelation for Australia in the T20Is since making his debut against India and the all-rounder batted at a sensational strike rate of 203.1. In his T20 career, Green averages 37.65 in wins and when the matches are in Australia, his average is a solid 34.21 which makes it believable as a potential disruptor. He was absent for the last encounter against Sydney Sixers due to national commitments but things are more than fine for them now, and Green is all set to make his appearance on Saturday. If you don’t know it already, Green averages 29.16 in Perth, which further underlines why we are not wrong picking him here. With 1XBET offering odds of 1.832 on Green to score over 22.5 runs against Melbourne Stars, keep your options open for this MS vs PS game.
