A confirmed WBBL|12 home fixture

The Perth Scorchers' official schedule describes the Renegades fixture as the team's WBBL|12 season launch at the WACA Ground. A separate ticket announcement also lists the Saturday date, venue and 4:10pm first-ball time. Together with the Melbourne Renegades' fixtures listing, those records confirm the match identity and its place in the competition schedule.

What is confirmed before play

The published information confirms the teams, competition, date, venue, start time and 20-over format. It does not establish final line-ups, captains, injuries, weather, pitch conditions or a result, so none of those details are presented as settled in this preview.
