Preview:

This will be the second meeting of Perth Scorchers and Syndey Sixers in Big Bash League 2019-20. In the previous game, Sixers outclassed Scorchers in a one-sided affair. However, in the upcoming match, they would be eager to avenge their previous loss against the same opponent.

Scorchers have Mitchell Marsh, Josh Inglis and Liam Livingstone, who are in good form with the bat. They will be having the responsibility to pile some big runs in the upcoming match in order to help their side in grabbing two important points. Moreover, their bowling also looks quite daunting under the likes of Chris Jordan, Fawad Ahmad and Jhye Richardson.

Sixers got off to a great start in BBL 2019-20 as they won their season opener but after that, they went off track and lost two consecutive games. They would be anxious to get back on the winning track against Scorchers. The problem with Sixers is that their batting line up doesn’t look in the form, who are struggling to click good knocks with the bat. However, their bowling also looks weak in comparison to Scorchers but they will try and come up with strong team effort in the boxing day game.
