In addition to winning BBL 11 final against this opposition convincingly, Perth have also emerged as the winner of their last four T20s against them.
Sixers, who had last defeated Scorchers over 20 months ago, would be keen to return to winning ways both against them and in this season. Unlike the home team, Sydney have already played and lost a match in BBL 12. A performance not up to the mark by their standards, Sixers will have eyes on making amends at a venue where they have won one and lost two BBL matches till date.
