SIX vs SCO Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for Today's BBL Match - Jan 30th, 2021
The Qualifier of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021 has Sydney Sixers taking on Perth Scorchers at the Manuka Oval on Saturday.
The Sydney Sixers, who are the reigning BBL champions, have been absolutely sensational this season. With nine wins in their league campaign, the Sixers topped the points table, locking up a home final in the process.
The depth in their side has come to the fore on various occasions, with Sean Abbott and Moises Henriques adding quality with both ball and bat. Given how Josh Philippe has gone about at the top of the order, the Sixers will eye another BBL final appearance, although they will have their hands full against the Scorchers.
Meanwhile, the Scorchers have also impressed despite starting their BBL campaign slowly. Their power-packed batting unit has delivered more often than not, with Colin Munro leading the charge with 411 runs.
They also have Jhye Richardson in their ranks, who sits at the top of the BBL wicket-taking charts with 27 scalps. With a good blend of youth and experience in their side, the Scorchers will love to replicate their 2015 exploits at this very ground and get one over the Sixers.
While form favours the Sixers, the Scorchers cannot be ruled out, especially with Jason Roy and Andrew Tye itching to make an impact. With a place in the final hanging in the balance, another entertaining game of cricket beckons in the BBL 2021.

Pitch Report
The Manuka Oval has been on the slower side, with the spinners expected to play a big role in this BBL game. However, with a fresh pitch beckoning, the ball should come on nicely to the bat, making for a good contest.
The pacers should get some swing early on, although change of pace could be key. Both teams should look to bat first after winning the toss, with 160-170 being a competitive total at the Manuka Oval.
