Can Sixers overcome the Scorchers in SCO vs SIX Dream11 BBL 2021-22 Qualifier?
Very difficult one to predict since both teams have had a successful run towards the playoffs. They also won their respective last fixtures for the league stage and so aren’t short of momentum. But Scorchers carry a slight edge as they’ve displayed stronger depth and winning form in the competition so far, clinching 11 victories to nine by the Sixers.
Mitchell Marsh (10.5 credits) – Marsh made a roaring return to the Scorchers line-up with his half-century in the win over Brisbane Heat. He has made 314 runs from his six innings of BBL 2021-22 with a strike-rate of 148.81.
Josh Philippe (10 credits) – Sixers’ top run-getter with 424 runs at a strike-rate of 145.70, wicketkeeper-batter Philippe remains a strong captaincy pick.
Moises Henriques (9.5 credits) – only second to Philippe in the runs tally for Sixers, Henriques has blasted 403 runs in the competition with a strike-rate of 145.48. He is another fruitful choice for captaincy.
Jason Behrendorff (8.5 credits) – Behrendorff bowled a fine spell of 2/25 against the Heat last game. The Scorchers left-arm pacer has taken 13 wickets in BBL this summer with an economy of 7.34.
Peter Hatzoglou (8.5 credits) – Hatzoglou was another of Scorchers’ bowling hero in the win over Heat, taking 2/17 off 4 overs. With that, he has now bagged 13 scalps at BBL this season while conceding 7.32 runs per over.
Daniel Hughes (8.5 credits) – Hughes is another handy budget pick, having struck a match-winning fifty in Sixers’ last game, a rescheduled encounter versus the Heat. He made 59 off 45 balls to help push Scorchers to 178/6, which they later defended by 27 runs.
