Who will win today Big Bash match: Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers
Pitch Report
The pitch at the Marvel Stadium has been brilliant for batting this season. This pitch has an even bounce to offer, whereas one side of the boundary is quite small as well.
Perth Scorchers preview
Perth Scorchers won 11 of their 14 league games, and they defeated Sydney Sixers in the Qualifier. Mitchell Marsh has been exceptional with both bat and the ball. Kurtis Patterson is the highest run-scorer of the side, whereas Colin Munro and Ashton Turner have also batted well. The bowling has been the biggest strength of the side. Tye has scalped 22 wickets in the tournament, whereas Agar has scalped 17. The rest of the bowlers have been brilliant too. Josh Inglis also proved his class in the last game as an opener.
Probable XI: Josh Inglis, Kurtis Patterson, Mitchell Marsh, Colin Munro, Laurie Evans, Ashton Turner, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, AJ Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou.
Sydney Sixers preview
The defending champions Sydney Sixers won nine of their 14 league games, and they defeated Adelaide Strikers in the last game. Hayden Kerr has scalped 24 wickets in the tournament, whereas he is expected to open the innings again in this one.
However, the Sydney Sixers are currently struggling to have eleven players on the field. Daniel Hughes is nursing an ankle injury, whereas Jack Edwards and Josh Philippe are out due to Covid. The Sixers were forced to play their assistant coach Jay Lenton as a wicket-keeper in the Challenger game. In more bad news, Jordan Silk limped off the field in the last game, whereas Moises Henqriues and Steve O’Keefe will also face late fitness tests.
Probable XI: Nothing can be said about Sixers’ playing eleven.
Match Prediction
Perth Scorchers will be the favourites to win this game.
