THE LOWDOWN
PERTH SCORCHERS
- Perth Scorchers cannot afford defeat, knowing that it would be enough to push them out of second-place and see them compete in the ‘knockout’ rather than the ‘qualifier’ come the play-offs.
- Momentum is important and when considering that the Scorchers’ only two league defeats so far have come across their last four games, victory in this final match is extremely important
SYDNEY SIXERS
- Sydney Sixers have a golden opportunity to jump into second-place and play in the ‘qualifier’ against Brisbane Heat as opposed to the ‘eliminator’ but to do so they must win in Perth, a tall order.
- Batter Steve Smith won’t be available due to his Test commitments with Australia, although the Sixers do enter this game with momentum in their favour following consecutive victories.
THE PREDICTION
Home advantage is crucial for Perth Scorchers when taking into account their fine track record at Optus Stadium, where they most recently ended Brisbane Heat’s unbeaten streak across the season. Although Sydney Sixers boast significant batting depth, Perth can match them on that front and the hosts’ formidable pace bowling attack is what makes them worth backing to get the job done and qualify through as second-placed finishers.
BETTING TIP: PERTH SCORCHERS TO WIN
