Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers Preview
‘The Qualifier’ pits the Scorchers against the Sixers on Saturday night in front of a huge crowd at Optus.
The Scorchers have won 11 of their last 12 games at home, and they should feel confident knowing they won this same fixture last year quite comfortably over Sydney before meeting again in the final.
Both meetings between these two sides this season have been thrilling encounters, only adding to the drama.
Perth won by 38 runs to begin the season, before the Sixers turned the tables at home with a narrow six-run victory.
The Sixers boast an impressive 4-2 record away from home this year, but it’s always difficult to back against the Scorchers at home, particularly in a final.
I doubt there will be anything more than 20 runs separating these two sides – especially with Steve Smith in cracking form – but overall, I think the Scorchers get up narrowly.
