The fifth match of the Big Bash League will be taking place at the Perth Stadium. It will be Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers who will be taking the field against each other. 

Before the match starts let us pick up some tips on how to build the fantasy teams for the match. 

Ground Stats

BBL Matches: 24

Matches won Batting First: 15

Matches won Batting Second: 09

Average total batting first: 168

Average total batting second: 142

The stats suggest that the Perth Stadium is a batting first ground. The team winning the toss will have a better chance of winning the match and hence the captain winning the toss will look to bat first. 

Three Must-pick players for the match

1.Sean Abbott: The Australian speedster is a very important asset of the Sydney Sixer team. He is a veteran of the league and is also the highest wicket taker in its history. Abbott has also found form early in the tournament and hence becomes a must pick for the match. 

2. James Vince: The English top order batter has the ability to bat at any position in the batting order. His ability to build the innings is very essential to his side. The Sixers will be depending largely on him to lay foundation in the middle overs. His style of batting is very much sutited to the format and this makes him a vey important pick for the match. 

3. Andrew Tye: The Australian death over specialist always comes up with ways to contribute for the team. His ability to take wickets in the death overs gives chances to pick up more points by keeping him in the fantasy XI. If you need a winning pick then Tye is definitely one. 

Worth the risk picks

1.Josh Phillippe: Josh Phillippe has a very good record against the Scorchers. His ability to play quikcfire knocks makes him a worth the risk pick. If he fires and succeeds in getting some runs then he might award you some points which seperates your team from others in the fantasy leagues. 

2. Faf du Plessis: The reputation of the South African veteran well preceeds his name. If finds his rhythm early then he will be giving you points on a daily basis. But as this is his first match of the tournament, there are some concerns about how big can he so. Hence, du Plessis finds himself in the worth the risk picks section.
