BBL 2024-2025: Sydney Sixers vs Perth Scorchers Match 30 Prediction

On Saturday, the Sydney Sixers will host the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League 2024/25's 30th match. The match will take place on January 11 at the Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney. After winning the first four games in a row, the Sixers have suffered two losses and one game that was abandoned. However, they have maintained second place in the standings with four wins in seven games. 

The Perth Scorchers, on the other hand, were disappointed to lose their last two games against the Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Thunder by narrow margins. They will be eager to go back into the top four. They are now ranked fifth in the points table, but have maintained a positive NRR of 0.624.

Pitch Report:

At the Sydney Cricket Ground, hitters typically have the most control over the bowlers. However, recent Australia versus India 5th Test results provide a different view on the quality of the pitch, as the game was completed in three days and seam bowlers dominated the show. SCG is set to return to its traditional batting-friendly pitch for Saturday's match.
