SCO vs SIX Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11, Player Stats, Pitch Report for BBL 2022-23, Match 6

The sixth match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 will see the Sydney Sixers (SIX) take on the Perth Scorchers (SCO) at the Perth Stadium in Perth on Saturday, December 17. Ahead of the match, here's everything you need to know about the SCO vs SIX Dream11 prediction.

Defending champions Perth Scorchers start their season with a new-look batting unit. They are without the likes of Laurie Evans and Mitchell Marsh but have able replacements in Faf du Plessis and Adam Lyth. Their bowling attack is perhaps the strongest in the competition and will be key to their success in the ongoing BBL.

The Sydney Sixers, meanwhile, did not have the best of starts to their campaign, losing to the Adelaide Strikers in their opening fixture. They have a well-balanced squad with Moises Henriques at the helm and will be keen to kickstart their campaign with a win. All in all, a cracking game of cricket beckons with two valuable points up for grabs.

Josh Philippe (15 BBL 2021 matches, 429 runs, Average: 33.00)

Josh Philippe is a household name in the BBL, scoring over 400 runs in each of his last three seasons. The Sydney Sixers opener is adept at playing spin and pace and has a career strike rate of 142.13. With Philippe due for a big knock, he is a must-have in your SCO vs SIX Dream11 prediction team.

Ashton Turner had a fine season for the Scorchers last season, scoring 357 runs in 15 matches. He had a strike rate of 153.88, holding him in good stead. With Turner likely to take up the floater's role, he could be a fine addition to your SCO vs SIX Dream11 prediction team.

Top All-rounder Pick

Ashton Agar (15 BBL 2021 matches, 18 wickets, Average: 21.89)

Another star performer for the Scorchers last season, Ashton Agar picked up 18 wickets in 15 matches. He averaged just 21.89 with the ball and also chipped in with the bat. He has a batting strike rate of 121 in the BBL as well. Given his experience and the Sixers' batting unit full of right-handers, Agar could be a good pick for your SCO vs SIX Dream11 prediction team.

Top Bowler Pick

Andrew Tye (16 BBL 2021 matches, 25 wickets, Average: 16.96)

Andrew Tye was one of the top wicket-takers in the competition last season, picking up 25 scalps in 16 matches. He had a good T20 Blast season for Durham as well with 21 wickets in just 10 matches. His variations and death bowling skills should hold him in good stead and make him a top pick for your SCO vs SIX Dream11 prediction team.
