SCO vs SIX T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2022
Match 6 of the 2022-23 Big Bash League sees Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers go head to head on Saturday afternoon at the Optus Stadium. The game will be a re-match of the 2021-22 BBL Final which the Scorchers won by 79 runs. This is the Scorchers first fixture of this season whereas Sydney Sixers lost by 51 runs to Adelaide Strikers on Wednesday. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway in Perth at 16:05 local time.
Perth Scorchers come into this tournament with a much changed top order batting line-up but their strong list of bowlers remains. They will always be a very tough team to defeat on their home pitch.
Sydney Sixers will be looking to bounce back immediately from their opening game defeat. However, they have a very poor record against Perth Scorchers in recent matches and will need to put in a very strong performance.

Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing 11
SCO Team News
The 2021-22 Champions have seen their preparations for this campaign disrupted by withdrawals with a trio of English players - Phil Salt, Laurie Evans and Tymal Mills - all no longer available for a variety of reasons. We expect Faf du Plessis, Steve Eskinazi and Adam Lyth to all make their debut for Perth Scorchers in this game.
SCO Key Players
- Faf du Plessis - The vastly experienced South African batter has an excellent record in Australia but this game will be only his second BBL appearance.
- Andrew Tye - The 36 year old pace bowler is the second highest wicket taker in BBL history and has picked up over 20 wickets in each of the last two BBL seasons.
- Jason Behrendorff - Injuries have often disrupted the tall quick bowler’s campaigns but when fit he is a very tough bowler to face. He recorded a strike-rate of 15.62 in the 2021-22 BBL season.
Perth Scorchers lost only three games across the entire 2021-22 BBL campaign.

Sydney Sixers Team News & Playing 11
SIX Team News
Although it was a heavy 51 run defeat in Adelaide for Sydney Sixers, we are not expecting changes ahead of this clash. International batter, Steve Smith, will still be unavailable, and Moises Henriques will look to get more out of the same players in this match.
SIX Key Players
- Josh Philippe - The keeper-batter hit only two fours in the defeat to Adelaide Strikers but he will enjoy the quicker pitch in this game with the ball coming onto the bat with more pace in Perth.
- Moises Henriques - The captain hit 24 runs in the opening game but did not use himself with the ball. He will be a useful bowler on this wicket at the Optus Stadium.
- Sean Abbott - The bowling all-rounder picked up the wickets of Adam Hose, Colin de Grandhomme and Rashid Khan on Wednesday. He is the all-time leading wicket taker in the BBL.
After ending the last campaign with injuries and illness, Sydney Sixers have won only one of their last four BBL fixtures.

Who will win Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers T20 Match?
The top two wicket takers in BBL history are on show in this match and it could well come down to which batting line-up is able to keep the strike bowlers out. We think Perth Scorchers have the better bowlers in their side.
🏆 Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers Prediction
There is always added excitement when the two finalists from the previous campaign go head to head but both teams will now be wanting to focus on this campaign. Sydney Sixers were nowhere near their best against Adelaide Strikers and we expect to see a better performance from them in this match. However, we think that Perth Scorchers’ bowling attack will be very hard to face and our prediction is for a Perth Scorchers win.
