There are a lot of changes in the Brisbane Heat team as they will welcome Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Matt Renshaw in this game who are back after completing their international commitments. However, they have lost some of their key players as well.
Perth Scorchers are also missing some of their key players, but this team knows how to win games. The backups of the side have also played great, and it is yet another opportunity for them to showcase their class on the field. Ashton Agar is back in the team and his presence will provide an important balance to the side.
Why Colin Munro not playing today
Brisbane Heat have named a massive five changes in their playing 11 against Perth Scorchers. Usman Khawaja, Xavier Bartlett, Matt Renshaw, Marnus Labsuchagne and Spencer Johnson have replaced Usman Khawaja, Sam Billings, Nathan McSweeney, Mark Steketee and Mitchell Swepson.
Colin Munro and Sam Billings are the major absentees as both of them were signed by the Brisbane Heat in the BBL International player’s draft. The users must note that both of them will not play any further part in the tournament as they were available for the initial nine matches only.
Both Munro and Billings will be representing the Desert Vipers in the ILT20 League in UAE, where Munro is the captain of the side. Munro scored 278 runs in BBL12 at a S/R of 150.27, whereas Billings scored 187 runs at 132.62. However, the arrival of Marnus Labuschagne, Usman Khawaja and Matt Renshaw can certainly compensate for the loss.
