Perth Scorchers vs Hobart Hurricanes head to head: SCO vs HUR head to head records in BBL history

The 46th match of the ongoing 12th season of the Big Bash League will be played between Perth Scorchers and Hobart Hurricanes at the Optus Stadium tomorrow. The two teams will be meeting after a month since their last clash against each other.

Hobart, who hadn’t won their last five matches against Perth, had returned to winning ways at the University of Tasmania Stadium last month. It wouldn’t be wrong to assume that the defending champions would be wanting to return the favour at their home ground in what will be the first-ever match between these two teams on a Wednesday.

Speaking of home matches, this will be Perth’s penultimate match at home this season. Having won four and lost one out of their four previous matches in Perth, PS would be confident of registering a triumphant against HH. It is worth mentioning that they are currently at the second position on the points table on the back of winning eight and losing three matches.

The visitors, meanwhile, have won one and lost four out of their five away BBL 12 matches. At the fifth position after winning and losing five matches each this season thus far, Hurricanes need a victory to not lack behind as far as qualifying for the playoffs is concerned.
