Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers | Preview, probable XI, match prediction and live streaming details

The Big Bash League (BBL 2021) juggernaut sees Perth Scorchers take on Sydney Sixers on Wednesday. This enticing match is set to take place at the Perth Stadium, with both the teams coming in on the back of impressive wins.

After not being able to buy a win at the start of the season, Perth Scorchers have now won two in two. They followed up their victory over Adelaide Strikers with another comprehensive win Melbourne Renegades.

Ashton Turner’s men put up 185 on the board and bundled out the Renegades for just 89 in a dominant performance.

A simple reshuffle at the top of the order has brought out the best from Josh Inglis. The wicketkeeper has scored 116 runs without being dismissed in the past two BBL 2021 games.

The run of wins has seen Perth Scorchers finally put points on the board. They currently have 9 points from 6 games, with their poor start affecting them badly. The team need to continue the winning run if they want to have any chance of making it to the knockout stages.

Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, sit pretty at the top of the BBL 2021 table, with 21 points from 7 games. Daniel Hughes’ men have rarely put a foot wrong this season, and have been ruthlessly consistent.

They beat Adelaide Strikers by 7 wickets in their last game and will be looking to continue their winning run against Perth Scorchers. The team is firing on all cylinders, which makes them the favourites to retain their BBL crown this year.

Josh Philippe is in great form, with the opener second in the run-getter charts, with 261 runs from 7 games. He is supported admirably by skipper Daniel Hughes and Jordan Silk, with the duo amassing 190+ runs each already.

With the all-rounders and bowlers chipping in at crucial stages as well, it will need something special to halt Sydney Sixers this season.
