Perth Scorchers play Sydney Sixers tomorrow in BBL 2022-23 as the season moves ahead. Both teams will be looking for a win here.
Date and Time : 17th December 2022, 7:05 PM (Local)
Venue : Optus Stadium, Perth
Perth Scorchers are the defending champions as they kickstart a new season. They will take games as they come by playing quality cricket.
The Scorchers have talented batters which will need to up their game. On the bowling front they have the kind of bowlers to trouble any opposition.
Coach Adam Voges will ask his men to be fearless and play to the situation.
On the other hand, Sydney Sixers lost their opening fixture to the Strikers by a huge margin and they will need to up their game in games to come.
The Sixers bowling was not at their greatest in letting Adelaide team post a good score and they need to be clinical. Batting wise too they lacked and will require much more.
Coach Greg Shipperd will have to be tactical tomorrow.
For the wicket, batting will be a show and teams will look to bat first.
Team news and possible lineups
There are no fresh injury concerns for both sides at the moment.
Perth Scorchers XI : Turner (C), F. du Plessis, Eskinazi, Lyth, A. Agar, Bancroft, Inglis, Behrendorff, Hatzoglou, J. Richardson, Tye.
Sydney Sixers XI : Patterson, Silk, Vince, S. Abbott, Christian, Henriques (C), Kerr, J. Philippe, Dwarshuis, I. Naveed, S. O’Keefe.
Prediction
I think it should be a good contest as the Sixers will be looking to bounce back whereas the Scorchers playing their first game. In a repeat of last year’s final I am expecting the Scorchers to make a winning start at home.
