In the 15th match of the BBL 2023/24, which will be held on Boxing Day, the Perth Scorchers will play host to the Melbourne Renegades at the Optus Stadium in Perth. The Scorchers have had a good tournament so far, winning two games while one was abandoned. The Melbourne Renegades find themselves at the other end of the spectrum as they have lost three out of their four games while one of their games too, was called off. The Renegades badly need a win while the Scorchers will want to keep the momentum going.

7 T20 Internationals have been played at the Optus Stadium and the stats show that chasing is definitely a better option at the venue. Teams chasing have won 5 games as opposed to teams defending who have won just the two games. This venue is not a traditionally high-scoring ground as the average totals in both innings have been below 140.
In the one game that has been played at the venue this season, the Perth Scorchers chased down a target of 172 with more than 3 overs to spare which is another indicator of the wicket being good for hunting totals down. As such, the captain, who wins the toss may be inclined towards batting second.
