The upcoming Match No. 26 of the ongoing BBL 2025-26 will witness the Perth Scorchers (SCO) locking horns with the Melbourne Renegades (REN) at the Perth Stadium in Perth on Wednesday, January 07.

Perth Scorchers have been on a roll this season, winning four out of the six games played, and currently occupy the second position on the table. The Ashton Turner-led team is coming three-match winning streak and will look to extend that.

On the other hand, the Melbourne Renegades are currently holding the seventh spot in the standings after winning two out of five contests. The team will be confident as they are coming off a win in the Melbourne derby.

The Perth Stadium in Perth has been a very balanced surface, assisting both pacers and spinners evenly. However, the pitch gets better to bat on as the game progresses, and teams batting second gain a better advantage to win the match. A total ranging from anything above 190-200 can be considered a winning total on this surface, going by history.

Mitchell Marsh, Sam Fanning, Cooper Connolly, Aaron Hardie, Ashton Turner(c), Joel Curtis(w), Nick Hobson, Ashton Agar, Joel Paris, Brody Couch, Mahli Beardman

Josh Brown, Tim Seifert, Mohammad Rizwan(w), Jake Fraser-McGurk, Oliver Peake, Hassan Khan, Will Sutherland(c), Matthew Spoors, Gurinder Sandhu, Callum Stow, Jason Behrendorff

With 176 runs in six matches, Perth Scorchers' Aaron Hardie could be the best batter of match 26 of BBL 2025-26. He seems to have found his form back with the bat and would be looking to continue being in his best form in a fixture where Perth has dominated.

Perth's Joel Paris could be the best bowler in the upcoming game against the Melbourne-based team. In six games, Paris has bagged 10 wickets at an average of 17.70 and an economy of 8.63. He will be looking to return to the field and bowl yet another exceptional spell for his team.
