SCO vs STA Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win?

This is the opening game for both sides, and they will be looking to get a winning start. There are a few injuries in both camps that will force them not to go with their full-strength side. But if we look at the composition of both sides, Perth Scorchers look better, and they will also be playing at home, which is their fortress.

That is why, as per our analysis and game stats and squads of these two teams, there is a high probability that the Perth Scorchers will win this match.

Although the winner can be entirely attributed to the ground stats and its records, as per the ground stats, the chances of the team batting second are good, so the batting second team will likely win match no. 1 of the Big Bash League 2024-25.

However, with cricket’s unpredictable nature, the Melbourne Stars have a good squad; this match could go either way. So please analyze on your part and then invest.
