Sydney Sixers vs Perth Scorchers Frequently Asked Questions

Perth are 1-2 on the road this season with the Scorchers being sent in to bat and coming up empty in both losing games. Only 7 times out of the 26 games played up until Friday has the team batting first won the game. Sydney have not only won both bat-flips at home but are 6-0 on the season.

The Sixers openers have been the backbone of their scoring through the first half of the season with James Vince and Josh Philippe both in the top 10 for most runs scored this season. Both players faltered in the loss to Hobart while Vince regained composure against Melbourne he missed his running mate.

Sydney’s bowling attack has been solid keeping their opposition to an average of 154.5 runs across their 6 games having bowled first in all of them. I expect that trend to continue against the Scorchers who have averaged 148 runs batting on the road.

Take Sydney to cover the line, Sixers to slog the most fours in the game and Philippe to score the most runs for the home team.

Sydney are 3-2 in their last 5 games and 2-0 at the SCG.
The Sixers average 20 fours at the SCG this season.
Perth are 1-2 on the road giving up 4 more fours per game as the away team compared to their season average.
Josh Philippe has scored 162 runs this season at an average of 32.40 with a high score of 66.

Sydney Sixers Form

Sydney have dropped two on the trot and now sit second in the standings behind their cross town rivals the Sydney Thunder.

Most recently was a loss to the Melbourne Stars who have reignited their season with three straight wins. Sydney were set a target of 157, their second lowest opposition total so far this season. Sean Abbott did the most damage with the ball taking 3 wickets for 7.25 runs per over off his 4 overs. Ben Dwarshuis had his second consecutive game without picking up a wicket after taking 10 in his first 4 of the season.

James Vince top-scored with the bat hitting 53 off 44 balls with 6 fours. The next best batsmen was Hayden Kerr who was caught in the deep for 21 off 15. Batting collapses have earmarked the two losses for Sydney this season with their normally reliable middle order failing to contribute to the overall total.

In their last 5 games Sydney are 3-2 hitting just 16.4 boundaries per game while allowing 19 to their opponent including 6 sixes per match. Steve Smith is expected to return for the Sixers.

Perth Scorchers Form

Perth were sent in to bat by the Renegades in their most recent game played, setting a total of 147 while dropping 8 wickets.

Aaron Hardie hit 34 from 34 as the opener while the returning Mitch Marsh and Scorchers season run leader Cooper Connolly both went for a duck. Ashton Agar batting at 7 hit a brilliant 51 off 30 balls which included 1 four and 4 sixes to help drag his team toward 150.

The 2nd innings couldn’t have started any better for the Scorchers taking 2 wickets in the first over for 0 runs. The 3rd and 4th fell just as quick and Melbourne were reeling at 4-10 in the 5th over of the innings. From there it looked like the game was going to be over before the midway point but Will Sutherland stepped in to score 70 from 45 with the Perth bowlers unable to break his stride.

Perth have now lost two in a row and are 3-3 on the season sitting 5th in the standings. As the away team this year they are averaging 15.3 boundaries including 6 sixes per match while allowing 12.3 fours to their opponent.
