In the previous edition of the tournament, Melbourne Stars had a forgettable campaign. Failing to reach the knockout stages of the tournament, the side was eliminated after finishing in sixth place in the standings. On the other hand, Perth Scorchers were knocked out in the knockouts and will hope that the new season could bring about change.

The surface at the Optus Stadium in Perth is one that is preferred by the bowlers. Especially the fast bowlers, manage to make the most of the pace and bounce in the pitch, and the batters will look to stay patient in the early stages of the clash and accelerate in the latter stages after getting an assessment of the actual conditions. Team winning the toss should look to bowl first.
