Sydney Sixers Preview: One point from their last three

Failing to win any of their last three games sees Sydney Sixers staring at the brink of elimination with two matches left to play. Any result other than victory for them here in Hobart would see them officially ruled out of play-off contention.

Perth Scorchers preview: Back-to-back losses at worst possible time

Is the pressure getting the Perth Scorchers at the business end of the league stage? Consecutive defeats, most recently against the struggling Adelaide Strikers leaves Perth outside the play-off places and facing a battle to be involved in the post-season.

Sydney Sixers Betting Analysis

Despite the Sixers’ struggles, Amelia Kerr has been excellent of them of late with the ball. Now fully fit, Kerr has accumulated seven wickets across her last time appearances, backing up her four-wicket-haul against Brisbane Heat with three more scalps vs Sydney Thunder in an eventual wash-out. Back Kerr to pick up where she left off and gain over 1.5 match wickets here.

Perth Scorchers Betting Analysis

Although Perth were beaten in their last game, spin-bowler Alana King had done her very best to give the Scorchers a chance. King recorded figures of 3/29 from four overs, taking her overall wicket-taking tally across the tournament so far this season to 17. She continues to battle Sydney Thunder’s Samantha Bates for the right to be named the 2024 WBBL’s top wicket-taker and should be backed to pick up another 2+ wickets in this one.

Sydney Sixers vs Perth Scorchers Expert Prediction

Although both teams are badly out of form, there is more on the line for Perth Scorchers, with Sydney Sixers needing a miracle to qualify for the play-offs at this point. That is unlikely to stop Ellyse Perry from giving her team the best chance of victory, when taking into account her incredible season with the bat. Perry has racked up 324 across eight innings at an average of 54.00 and another substantial individual score is expected from her, regardless of which way this encounter goes.
