Finn Allen announced himself on Australian shores in the 2022 T20 World Cup, producing some damaging knocks at the top of the order for New Zealand with a strike rate of 186.27. The Scorchers will be hoping for longer innings from Allen that become the backbone of the side’s success through the summer.
Mahli Beardman was largely unknown to the Australian public until he was called into the national white-ball squad in England during the winter. With pace to burn, the young quick was a strong contributor in Australia’s Under-19 World Cup win in South Africa and might well become one of the breakout stars of BBL14.
A former Test opener for England, Keaton Jennings is expected to play an anchoring role that will allow Perth’s big hitters to swing freely. Jennings has a T20 hundred to his name, and if he can adjust quickly to Australian conditions, he could score plenty of runs in the Big Bash League.
Despite falling short last summer, the Scorchers are $5 favourites in the BBL outright odds as they chase an unprecedented sixth BBL title. While the Sydney Sixers ($5.50) and Brisbane Heat ($6) are tipped to be strong again, Perth will be hard to beat if they perform anywhere near their best from game to game.
Scorchers top batter tip – Finn Allen
Finn Allen is a hard-hitting player who can score all around the ground against any type of bowling. The fast, bouncy pitches of Australia should suit him more than New Zealand and other grounds around the world.
Scorchers top bowler tip – Ashton Agar
If he is fully fit for BBL14, Ashton Agar might well end up as the top bowler in the entire competition. Left-arm orthodox spinners have been incredibly successful in T20 cricket all over the world, and Agar’s impressive consistency and game smarts make him one of the trickiest bowlers to face in the Big Bash.
The all-time Scorchers XI may be the best side the Big Bash League has to offer. Fans of the BBL may remember just how skilled an opener Michael Klinger was, combined with the power and strokeplay of Cam Bancroft and the Marsh brothers. Josh Inglis and Ashton Turner are incredible closers of a batting innings, and Liam Livingstone’s all-round ability makes him the perfect addition to balance this side.
Ashton Agar has established himself as one of Australia’s top limited-overs bowlers, while AJ Tye is renowned as one of the top ‘death’ bowlers in the BBL. Jason Behrendorff and Jhye Richardson round out a bowling line-up that offers a wealth of pace, skill and variety.
