SCO vs SIX Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 6 | SCO vs SIX Dream11 Prediction Today | Perth Pitch Report

The last BBL match saw a record-low total of 15 all-out. So, what on earth does this match have in store?

Given it is a rematch of the BBL 11 Final, there should be a sense of normalcy between two quality sides. Perth Scorchers, even without key players including Mitchell Marsh, Laurie Evans and Tymal Mills, still have a terrific squad on paper. Faf du Plessis and Adam Lyth can prove to be a fantastic partnership, while Jhye Richardson is set to return from injury in what remains an excellent attack.

Can Sydney Sixers overcome them? Moises Henriques’ team were poor in Adelaide a few nights ago, and must step it up in Perth if they are to avoid consecutive defeats. Onus is on the batsmen to perform on what is usually a bowler-friendly surface, while the seamers need to control the runs better than they did against the Strikers. On a bigger field, that is possible.
