With six wins out of their seven matches, Sydney Sixers have been in sensational form in the tournament so far. Perth Scorchers, on the other hand, are behind the sixers and third in the league table and thus when these two teams clash at Lilac Hill Park in Perth on November 5, it will be worth the money.
Be it with the bat or the ball, the Sixers have proved themselves well so far in the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL). The Ellyse Perry-led side in their previous match defeated their city-rivals Sydney Thunder by 15 runs as Ashleigh Gardner looked glorious. The 25-year-old smashed a half-century and helped the Sixers post a decent total on board. In bowling, Gardner and Lauren Cheatle absolutely dominated the opposition and gave them no room for glory. They currently look perfect as a side and don’t need many chops and changes.
The defending champions meanwhile will eye for a win and get back into the top two in the points table. Based on a complete performance, the team defeated the Brisbane Heat by three runs in their last match. Amy Edgar’s late cameo helped the team put 140 on board as Marizanne Kapp, Alana King and Lilly Mills picked two wickets each to help Scorchers get the much-needed win. Overall, their batting performance may look concerning but the team has the ability to bounce back.
