SIX vs SCO Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2021/22 Match 42 | SIX vs SCO Dream11 Prediction Today | Sixers vs Scorchers Key Players | Coffs Harbour Pitch Report
With news coming through that BBL 11 will be moved to a Melbourne hub due to a number of COVID-19 outbreaks, the action remains in New South Wales for the time being. The people of Coffs Harbour missed out on watching the Sydney Sixers in action earlier this season due to rain, but they have a blockbuster contest to look forward to today against Perth Scorchers.
These two sides met unexpectedly last week due to an outbreak in the Brisbane Heat camp, and the Scorchers produced a solid display to maintain their leadership atop the BBL 11 table. The Sixers have now moved to third spot due to the Sydney Thunder’s thumping win yesterday, so this is the perfect opportunity to gain some revenge over the Scorchers and move back into the top two.
Two star-studded lineups do battle after the fourth Ashes Test. Who will reign supreme?

Sydney Sixers:
- Josh Philippe played a blinder in the only T20 on this ground, back in 2020. He smashed 83* off 52 balls vs Strikers.

- Hayden Kerr is the Sixers’ leading wicket-taker this season with 15 wickets in nine matches (avg. 9.73). He took 4/32 against the Scorchers last week, and he will be looking to continue the good form.
Perth Scorchers:
- Kurtis Patterson has struck three half-centuries in seven innings in BBL 11. He made a start last week vs Sixers (27 off 25 balls), so he will be looking to build on this today.

International Sports Stadium Coffs Harbour Pitch Report and Weather
Expect a nice, easy-paced surface at Coffs Harbour. Two years ago, Sixers chased down Strikers’ 176 with three balls to spare. Philippe (83*) and Justin Avendano (47) starred with the bat.
The weather ruined the recent Sixers-Renegades match on this ground, but there should be a full match today.
