Perth Scorchers are favorites to win
Table toppers Perth Scorchers take on 2nd placed Sydney Sixers in the BBL 2021-22 Qualifier at the Marvel Stadium, Melbourne on Saturday. The winner will proceed to the Final with the loser getting another opportunity to qualify via the Challenger next Wednesday. Read on as we preview this game. This BBL play-off match begins at 19:15 local time.
Perth Scorchers beat Sydney Sixers in their two group stage matches, both of which took place earlier this month. They will feel they have the edge over the opposition.
Sydney Sixers have won three of their last four games and have some key players returning to strong form. They have an excellent recent record in BBL play-off fixtures.
Seven Network and Fox Sports will show this game in Australia. In India, you can watch it on Sony Six. Sky Cricket have the rights in the UK with Willow TV showing the match in the USA. In South Africa you can watch it on SuperSport with Sky Sports showing the game in New Zealand.
BBL Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
With both teams preferring to bat first in the competition, we predict that the skippers on both sides will choose to bat if they win the toss.
We expect a par score to be between 185-195 on this pitch. It will be hard work for the bowlers but both pace and spinners will get some assistance.
Evening sun will give way to clear skies on a very warm evening in Melbourne.

Ashton Turner’s side have been able to retain the core of their team throughout the majority of the tournament and still look very strong. Mitch Marsh and Josh Inglis missed games due to involvement in the Ashes squad but are both now back and give the batting line-up a solid look.
The Scorchers have won three of their last five games in spite of having qualified for the play-offs many matches ago.
Kurtis Patterson, Josh Inglis (wk), Mitch Marsh, Colin Munro, Ashton Turner (c), Aaron Hardie, Ashton Agar, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou, Lance Morris
Nathan Lyon has come back into the side after another successful Ashes campaign and his presence makes an already very strong bowling unit even better. The Sixers were not at their best in the win over Brisbane Heat last time out but we would be very surprised if they make any changes to the XI.
Sydney Sixers come into the play-offs with momentum after winning three of their last four games.
Josh Philippe (wk), Jack Edwards, Daniel Hughes, Moises Henriques (c), Justin Avendano, Daniel Christian, Sean Abbott, Hayden Kerr, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Lyon, Steve O’Keefe
