Marnus Labuschagne came up trumps with the ball to keep Heat hopes alive in the BBL. Despite Labuschagne being heralded with the bat more often than not, he delivered a spell of 3 for 13 against the hapless Strikers, who were down for the count from the first ball. Alex Carey and Travis Head, who were part of the championship-winning side in 2018, could only muster match scores of 20 and 37.69 on Friday. However, Peter Siddle did pick a few wickets to keep the game alive as he registered a match score of 73.79 and a fantasy price increase of 4%. But it wasn't meant to be as Marnus Labuschagne's stellar spell of bowling ensured the Heat's passage to the next round. He will be in action against the Thunder on Sunday although fantasy shareholders have a lot at stake today!The top-of-the-table clash, a.k.a the Qualifier, is upon as the defending champions Sydney Sixers look to go one step further in their defence at the expense of the Perth Scorchers. While the Sixers have already beaten the Scorchers earlier this year, they would ideally keep an eye out for Andrew Tye, the white-ball specialist who has added pace to his arsenal. Known for his famous knuckleballs, Tye has been impressive since the start of the year with 14 wickets in 9 games! But how valuable has he been for the Scorchers? Here's some much-needed insight to kickstart your day in the Sixer Market!Tye and His Bag of Tricks - Scorchers Pacer Up by 20.77% in 2021!Five matches into the new season, Perth Scorchers had only won one game and weren't in the playoff scene. Fast forward to the end of the league phase, the Scorchers have qualified for the Qualifier with seven wins in their last nine games. Pivotal to this rise has been AJ Tye, who has been nothing short of extraordinary with the ball. Although the plaudits have, more or less, gone to Jhye Richardson, Tye has complimented him with aplomb. In the nine matches since the start of the year, Tye has seen a fantasy price increase of 20.77%. It was possible mainly due to his match score average of 58.99, second to Jhye Richardson among the bowlers. In fact, Tye only missed the 50-match score mark twice, highlighting his consistency in the backend of the tournament. But there's more to how he operated in BBL 2021!Usually labelled as a death-overs specialist, Tye's "powers" had faded in the last few years. A major complaint was his lack of pace, which was being exploited by the opposition. However, with a reconstructed action, Tye has added a few miles and has even begun using the short ball to perfection. The added burst of pace has helped him operate with an economy of less than 8.5 in the death overs, which is exemplary. His wickets are a bonus in the backend with fourteen of them to show for his efforts. At the Manuka Oval, where off-pace deliveries are key, Andrew Tye and his famed knuckleball will be one to watch out for against the Sixers! While he be able to knuckle down the opposition and add value to his fantasy shares? Only time will tell!Vince up by 31.19% in his last four games! Can he turn up the Heat against the Scorchers?Andrew Tye and the Perth Scorchers will need to be wary of James Vince in the opposition ranks. The Englishman has found his groove in the BBL and has seen a fantasy stock price increase of 31.19% in his last four games. Incidentally, his highest match score of the season (87.37) came against the Scorchers and would want to replicate the same. In a market sense, Vince is available for a reasonable price of 44.30 Sixer Coins per Share, which might entice fantasy users into a trade. But will he be able to withstand the pace of Jhye and the subtlety of Tye is a different question, whose answer can earn big bucks! Apart from Vince, there's the options of Josh Philippe and Colin Munro, both of whom are among the top-runscorers in the competition! While the two sides battle among themselves, who will stand out as the big bull? Watch out for new stock supply at 2:00 PM IST!
