Test skipper Tim Paine and dashing left-handed batsman Matthew Wade are available again, but the Hurricanes’ incumbent keeper Ben McDermott has been in super form with bat and gloves.

Wade will want to put some indifferent Test form behind him here and he seems the more likely of the duo to be rushed straight into T20 action for this match.

Meanwhile, the Scorchers won’t be able to call upon young all-rounder Cameron Green, who is quarantining in WA after an arduous Test campaign. But they will regain injured skipper Mitchell Marsh, who will most likely play as a batsman only and not be risked bowling after suffering a side strain.

Read on for our free Hurricanes v Scorchers tips ahead of their T20 clash in Melbourne on Friday, January 22.

Hurricanes v Scorchers prediction 22/1/2021

The Hurricanes need their much-vaunted top order to fire. McDermott has been sensational, but Malan and Short need more runs. Adding Wade to the mix helps as he will love the idea of playing with abandon. Perth have the better bowling attack but we will back the Canes to get the better of them this time around. Our final Hurricanes v Scorchers prediction: Hurricanes to win.
