Perth Scorchers wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis is showing a lot of promise in the ongoing edition of the Big Bash League.

His knock, laced with four boundaries and three sixes at a strike rate of 167.57, helped the defending champion come really close to the target. Moreover, Inglis has a good batting record in the T20 extravaganza. The 27-year-old has played in 51 BBL matches so far. He has a total of 1153 runs under his belt at an average of 27.45 and a strike rate of over 142. Thus, the wicketkeeper-batter is the perfect choice to place your money on.

Perth Scorchers’ seamer Jhye Richardson is enjoying a dream form in BBL 2022-23. Regardless of the team’s victory or defeat, Richardson has delivered hair-raising performances with the ball. In the team’s first game against the runner-up Sydney Sixers, Richardson picked four wickets at an economy rate of 2.2. The pace sensation continued his wonderful bowling form against Hobart Hurricanes. In his four overs, the 26-year-old dismissed three batters, including Shadab Khan, James Neesham, and Nathan Elish. Jhye Richardson also made pressure on the opposition with his economical bowling. He conceded only 26 runs in the match to maintain an economy rate of 6.5. We are backing the seamer to spill his magic on the field once again.
