SIX vs SCO Match Toss Prediction
Although teams batting second at the SCG have won only 40% of T20 games, with the high level of humidity in the second half of the match, we predict both teams will want to field first in this fixture.

Sydney Sixers Team News & Playing 11
SIX Team News
Steve Smith and Nathan Lyon are both available for selection after missing the earlier parts of BBL2022-23 due to Australia’s Test series with South Africa. Smith will come in at the top of the order in place of England’s James Vince who has departed to the ILT20.
SIX Key Players
- Josh Philippe- the keeper-batter has hit only one half-century in BBL12 but has been a consistent wicket-keeper. Finding his batting form against the top side in the tournament would be perfect timing.
- Jordan Silk- it has been an impressive season from the middle-order batter who hit his highest score of the campaign, 59 not out from 42 balls, in the last match against his Sydney rivals.
- Sean Abbott- the 30 year old bowling all-rounder has taken six wickets from his last two BBL appearances and has a strike rate of 12.00 across the tournament.
Sydney Sixers are targeting their third successive win of the tournament in this game. A victory will see them close the gap to one point at the top of the table.

Who will win Sydney Sixers vs Perth Scorchers T20 Match?
Although Perth Scorchers have a very good record over Sydney Sixers, there is not a great deal of difference between the two strong teams. The Scorchers have a winning mentality which has served them very well again this season.
🏆 Sydney Sixers vs Perth Scorchers Prediction
This game is more than top versus second in BBL12, it is another showdown between the two strongest teams over the last three years of the competition. And based on their current displays, there is every chance that these could be the two finalists again. With Steve Smith returning to the Sixers and Sean Abbott in top form, they are going to be very hard to stop. But equally, Perth Scorchers have been ruthless in their last three matches and look unstoppable. We are predicting a very competitive fixture with Perth Scorchers getting the win.
