Match Details:

The 30th match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 will be played between Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers at the Optus Stadium in Perth.

The match is scheduled to start at 01:45 PM IST (04:15 PM local time). It will be live on Sony Ten Network and can be streamed live on Sony LIV.

Preview:

A lot can change in the enthralling Big Bash League in a span of a few days. Around a week or so ago, the Scorchers were amongst the back-benchers of BBL 2020/21, after failing to register a single win in their first 4 games. While they still are amongst the back-benchers, things are not the same now.

Two consecutive wins are bound to give their confidence a big boost, and what will add to it is the manner in which they won their last game. They bowled the Melbourne Renegades out for just 89 runs in their last game. Now, they will have to capitalize on this momentum and go on a winning spree, but a stern test in the form of Sydney Sixers lies ahead of them. The Sixers have won 5 of their 7 games and are justifiably topping the table.
