THE LOWDOWN

SYDNEY SIXERS

• Sydney Sixers are realistically the only team in the men’s BBL still capable of leapfrogging Perth Scorchers at the top of the table and stealing that top spot heading into the play-offs.
• Victory here at the SCG would move the Sixers to within a point of Perth and they’ve every right to be confident when considering that they have lost just one of their last eight fixtures.

PERTH SCORCHERS

• Perth Scorchers rammed home their position as league leaders even further on Friday with a commanding nine-wicket triumph away at Sydney Thunder with their attention now turning to the Thunder’s city rivals.
• The Scorchers have lost just twice across the competition so far, the least amount of any other team with only one with side also maintaining a positive net-run-rate.

THE PREDICTION

This game should provide Perth Scorchers with their biggest test of the season so far. Sydney Sixers with Steve Smith among their ranks for the rest of the season will be desperate to topple the Scorchers and lay down a marker going forward with these two teams likely meeting again down the line in the play-offs. The presence of Smith is a wildcard that could well work in Sydney Sixers’ favour such is his quality and with home advantage also in their favour, it may prove a shrewd play to back a Sixers victory in this one.
