SYS vs PSC Prediction, 11Wickets Fantasy Cricket Tips: Playing XI, Pitch Report and Injury Update – BBL 2020-21, Match 41

Match Details:

The 41st match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 season will be played between Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers at the Manuka Oval in Canberra.

This match will start at 1:10 PM IST (6:40 PM local time). It will be live on Sony Sports Network and live streaming is available on Sony LIV.

Preview:

Perth Scorchers’ comeback story in this season’s BBL has been truly inspirational. After defeats in all of their first three games, a vast majority predicted a bottom-half finish for them. However, Ashton Turner & Co. have changed the complexion of the semi-final race by winning all of their last 5 games.

That being said, the challenge they will face tomorrow will be more difficult than ever before. The reason for this is their opposition – Sydney Sixers, a team that is undoubtedly one of the favourites to lift the trophy this time around. With 7 wins from 10 games, they are sitting in the first place. Hence, this game has all the ingredients to be an edge-of-the-seat thriller.
