Sydney Sixers are on a roll after winning 3 of their last 4 matches and losing the other in a last over thriller. They are lead by the Aussie all-rounder Moises Henriques who has been in a good form. James Vince might open the batting along with Justin Avendano. Theya are followed in middle order by skipper Henriques, Jordan Silk and Daniel Hughes. All-rounders Sean Abbott and Englishmen provide the finishing touches with the bat and bowl in the middle overs to stop the run flow. Ben Dwarisus combines the all rounders Joe Denly, Sean Abbott and Tom Curran to form the pace quartet. Steven O Keefe and Benjamin Menanti are the spin bowling partners. Sixers will look to continue their winning momentum as every win from here on moves the team closer to the play offs.

Perth Scorchers have ended their three match losing streak by winning their last match against Melbourne Stars. They still have chance to qualify for the Play offs. They just need to win almost every match from now on. Their captain Ashton Turner is released from national squad to participate in the match.

Aston Agar, Hilton Cartwright and William Bosisto form the core of the middle order batting. Jason Behrenndoff and Jhye Richardson will be missed in bowling due to national duty. Nathan Coulter nile, Andrew Tye and Englishmen David Willey form the core of the pace bowling. Pakistani Usman Qadir and Ashton Agar takes up the spin bowling responsibilities in middle over’s.

Weather Conditions

The match is scheduled to start at local time 6:35 PM local time. The Perth pitch has a variable bounce and is known to aid both the seamers and spinners. Scores around 160 runs may be considered as a par score. Batsmen need to spend some time in the pitch before launching themselves on this pitch. The late evening start may bring dew factor into play.

Toss: To Bowl

WIN the toss, BOWL First

Teams batting second have won both the matches in Perth so far. The dew factor may trouble the bowlees to grip the ball in the second innings. Chasing has been the safer option in the T20s.

Sydney Sixers seem to have an well settled playing XI with less changes in the last few matches and are on a roll. Whereas Scorchers team is struggling to find form and they are further handicapped by the absence of their captain and fast bowlers. So we expect Sixers to win the contest.

We are backing Sydney Sixers for the win!
