Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers prediction

Regardless of the result, it would be no surprise if this match proved to be a dress rehearsal of the BBL 15 final when considering the form of the two teams and the players involved on both sides. Perth Scorchers boast the all-important home advantage, not to mention the most destructive batting order in the competition who have racked up four scores of 219 runs or more across the league stage. 

Sydney Sixers have been turbocharged by the additions of Steve Smith and Mitchell Starc, the pair having accumulated 154 runs and five wickets respectively over the course of their last two games, both of which were won by the Sixers. The key to this particular match-up will be if Perth can break through the top order of Sydney Sixers early on, keeping the likes of Smith and Babar Azam quiet. With Jhye Richardson in good form with the ball and the depth of their batting line-up utterly formidable, back the Scorchers to edge out the visitors.
