Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, have won four out of their seven matches and have lost two with one game washed out due to rain. So, it is an important game for Perth Scorchers and they would be looking to deliver a strong performance and take that upward flight on the points table.

The battle is at the home ground of Sydney Sixers, the iconic SCG and it won't be easy for the visitors. The matches at SCG have always been exciting, and let's see how the pitch will behave in the upcoming marquee clash.

SCG Stadium Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The pitch at the Sydney Cricket Ground is generally pretty good for batting and in the only game played this season at the venue, Sydney Sixers chased down the target of 195 with ease. So, we can expect another high-scoring encounter and in the 77 BBL matches at the venue, there have been six scores of over 200. There have been 37 instances in the first innings where the team has scored between 150 and 199 and expect top-order batters to make maximum impact from the fantasy point of view.

There is not much difference in win percentage of the team batting first or second, but the captains might choose to bowl first to help them understand the surface better. The pacers would have to hit the deck hard and vary their lengths while spinners could come into the game as the match progresses. Overall, a good batting surface and expect big hitters to sizzle in this game.
