Tournament: WBBL
Short Match Preview
Recent form (last 5):
BRS: L, L, L, W, W (mixed; turning the corner)
PER: L, W, W, L, W (slightly better momentum)
Head-to-head (recent 5): BRS edge 3–2.
Key trends:
When BRS bat first: L, L, W, W, W → better once they post a score.

Win Probability (pre-toss)
Scenario | BRS Win % | PER Win % | Why |

If BRS bowl first (chasing at AB Field strong) | 55 | 45 | Venue heavily favors chasing; PER weaker when chasing |
If PER bowl first (BRS set a total) | 48 | 52 | PER defend better with Mills/King; BRS batting can be streaky |

Powerplay & Death Overs Impact (projected roles)
Brisbane Heat (BRS)
PP bowlers: N Hancock (new ball), J Jonassen (can bowl inside PP), G Parsons.
Middle/Overs control: Jonassen (left-arm spin), S Ginger/C Knott if used.
Death: Hancock + Parsons.
Batting PP: Redmayne anchors; Rodrigues touch player; Knott can pinch the rate.
Perth Scorchers (PER)
PP: L Mills (strike/death specialist), A Edgar or Ainsworth with seam.
Middle: A King (leg-spin wicket threat).
Death: Mills main; support Edgar/Ainsworth.

Fantasy angle: Death overs = bonus for Mills/Hancock; middle overs reward Jonassen/King via dot-ball pressure and wickets.

M Hinkley (PER, BAT): Form pops; top-order value.
A O’Neil / L Bourke (BRS, BAT): Cheap punts in low-scoring games.

BOW: Lauren Mills (PER), Nicola Hancock (BRS), Alana King (PER), Grace Parsons (BRS)
Bench/Alternates:
If you want extra PER bowling: swap Parsons → Annabel Edgar.
High-risk punt: S Ginger for a batter (drop Rodrigues/Hinkley based on toss).
Conditional Strategy (adjust after toss)
If BRS bowl first / will chase (strong venue trend):
Lock Jonassen, Hancock, Parsons, Mills, King.
Keep both WKs (Mooney & Redmayne).
Captain: Devine or Jonassen; Vice: Mills.
If PER bowl first (BRS setting a total):
Add one extra PER bowler (Edgar/Ainsworth) for a defend scenario.
Consider S Ginger over Hinkley.
Captain: Mills (death + defend), Vice: Devine/Jonassen.
If PER are chasing (their weak suit):
Favor BRS bowlers (Hancock + Parsons + Jonassen).
Keep Mooney but fade one PER middle-order bat for C Knott/S Ginger.
Final Tips
Bowling-heavy (3–4) is optimal here; ensure one premium spinner + two death pacers.
Anchor WKs (Mooney/Redmayne) are safer than boom-bust middle-order hitters.
Don’t over-stack PER if they’re chasing—their recent record chasing is poor.
Leave salary for a premium AR (Devine/Jonassen); they are the most bankable multipliers on this ground.
