Since the pitch is expected to remain good for batting throughout the game, the toss-winning captain will probably opt to chase.
Sunny intervals with a gentle breeze is what has been forecast for Thursday evening. Temperatures are expected to hover around the mid-20s during the match.
The Perth Stadium has hosted only one game so far this BBL season - between Perth Scorchers and Melbourne Renegades. It was a high-scoring affair with both teams scoring over 180. Expect another batting beauty on the Boxing Day.

Left-arm quick Joel Paris has looked out of sorts with the ball in the last two games and the Scorchers are likely to replace him with medium pacer Matthew Kelly who has recovered from the illness that kept him out of action in the last two games. The team is expected to retain the rest of the line-up for this upcoming clash.
Mitchell Marsh: The captain has scored the most runs for the Scorchers so far and is among the tournament's top ten batsmen with 102 runs at a strike-rate of 145.71. Marsh struck an unbeaten fifty against Melbourne Renegades last Saturday.
Liam Livingstone: He is having an impressive strike-rate of 208.51. The opener played a whirlwind knock of 69 from just 26 balls last time against Adelaide Strikers.
Chris Jordan: The pacer has taken four wickets in three matches at an economy of 8.27. Jordan returned outstanding figures of 3-0-13-2 in the reverse encounter at the SCG and he will look to replicate that performance.
Perth Scorchers have not had the best of starts this year. They have won one and lost two of their first three matches and are lying second from the bottom on the BBL 2019-20 points table with two points. The Scorchers went down to Sydney Sixers by 8 wickets in their opening game but then defeated Melbourne Renegades by 11 runs before losing to Adelaide Strikers last time out by 15 runs (DLS method).

Sydney Sixers have kept the same playing eleven in their last two matches, and despite losing them both, they could go unchanged in this game as well. Daniel Hughes and Josh Philippe will continue to open the batting while James Vince and Moises Henriques will bat at three and four respectively. Ben Dwarshuis and Sean Abbott will likely share the new ball again.
Josh Philippe: The opener is one of the leading run-scorers this season and is averaging 60. Philippe smashed an unbeaten 44-ball 81 against Perth Scorchers last week and he will be eyeing another big knock against them.
Sean Abbott: He has been the most impressive bowler for Sydney Sixers having picked six wickets in three matches at a decent economy of 7.50. The fast bowler recently took a three-wicket haul against Hobart Hurricanes.
Ben Manenti: The off-spinner too has taken six wickets at an economy of 7.90. Manenti has picked a couple of wickets in each of the three matches.
Sydney Sixers are currently positioned sixth in the league standings with one win and a couple of losses from three matches in BBL 2019. After the emphatic 8-wicket triumph over Perth Scorchers in their campaign opener, the Sixers suffered defeats in their next two fixtures - against Hobart Hurricanes by 25 runs and against Brisbane Heat by 48 runs.

Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers have faced each other 15 times in the Big Bash League with the scoreline 10-5 in favor of the former. The Sixers, however, thrashed the Scorchers by eight wickets last week in their first clash of the ongoing season at the SCG.

Perth Scorchers hold an impressive 10-5 record against Sydney Sixers in the BBL and have defeated them four times in their last six attempts. They even have the advantage of playing at their home ground. However, they will be wary of the fact that they have been beaten here thrice in their last five matches. The Scorchers bowling has looked ordinary at best this season as some of their key bowlers continue to remain unavailable. The Sixers were the dominant side in the reverse encounter and we expect them to do the double over the Scorchers.
