THE LOWDOWN
PERTH SCORCHERS
- Reigning champions Perth Scorchers picked up right where they left off from last season, topping the men’s Big Bash League table with 22 points, one more than the Sixers.
- Of their 14 matches played, the Scorchers have won 11, losing just three and come into the play-offs having won six of their last seven.
SYDNEY SIXERS
- Sydney Sixers have so often been a regular at the latter stages of the men’s BBL and it has proved so again this season with them finishing second-place in the league.
- A slow start proved costly in regards to their hopes of topping the table, but they finished extremely strong, winning each of their last six games.
THE PREDICTION
As excellent as Sydney Sixers have been over the second half of the league stage, to go to Perth and win represents a huge challenge you feel. So much will depend on the performance of Steve Smith, who has elevated the Sixers to another level with his batting. However, the Scorchers at home are an outstanding unit capable of coming up clutch in all departments and if anyone can counter Smith, they can. With that mind, back Perth Scorchers at home to just get the better of the visitors.
