Match Details:
Date: January 22, 2022
Time: 01:45 PM (IST)
Venue: Docklands Stadium, Melbourne
Live Streaming: Sony LIV App
TV: Sony Sports Network
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The weather forecast for Melbourne is quite good and we are not expecting any rain to spoil the proceedings. The pitch at the Docklands has been very good this season. The dimensions of the ground are small and so there are likely to be a lot of sixes hit. You can look at the Over/Under line for the Total Sixes in the Match betting market. We would recommend going ‘Over’ looking at the talent on both sides.
This should be another high-scoring match where something around 170 could be par.
Team Preview:
Perth Scorchers (PRS):
Perth Scorchers won their match against the Brisbane Heat very comfortably and ensured that all of their players are in good touch. It really was the ideal result for them heading into this match. The return of Mitchell Marsh is the biggest positive for the Perth Scorchers. He is in the form of his life and has scored runs almost every single time he has played in this edition of the Big Bash.
Marsh is not the only player in form for the Scorchers. Kurtis Patterson, Colin Munro, Ashton Turner, and even Ashton Agar are all striking the ball beautifully. The depth and power in this batting lineup are difficult to match.
We would recommend betting on the Perth Scorchers to hit the most sixes in this match.
Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, and Peter Hatzglou are going to be an integral part of the bowling attack. We think Ashton Agar may come in for a bit of tap since his bowling style should suit some of the Sixers batting but overall, the Perth Scorchers are very well stocked in this department as well.
There is no real weakness in the team and it is no surprise that it is the favorite to win.
Likely XI: Kurtis Patterson, Josh Inglis, Mitchell Marsh, Colin Munro, Ashton Turner, Aaron Hardie, Ashton Agar, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou, Lance Morris.
Please check the team once when Playing XI Announced.
Sydney Sixers (SYS):
The Sydney Sixers are not used to entering a contest as the underdogs. They are the two-time defending champions and their lineup is capable of beating any team on most days. Despite this, we think they will have to extend themselves and be at their absolute best against the Perth Scorchers.
Moises Henriques, Josh Philippe, and Daniel Hughes seem to be the players that are in the best batting form at the moment. Young Jack Edwards could be one player that you bet against in this match since it is a bit much to expect him to score freely against an all-international bowling lineup.
Dan Christian and Justin Avendano are going to add depth to the lineup that seems to have moved past Jordan Silk for this tournament.
The batting is certainly strong but we don’t think it is as powerful or deep as the Perth Scorchers batting lineup.
Hayden Kerr has been a real find for the Sydney Sixers this season. he is the leading wicket-taker of the season for the Sixers and is able to contribute in most matches. With Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshius, and Steve O’Keefe also in the playing eleven, the Sixers will believe they can keep the Perth Scorchers batting under check.
Likely XI: Josh Philippe, Jack Edwards, Daniel Hughes, Moises Henriques, J Avendano, DT Christian, Sean Abbott, Hayden Kerr, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Michael Lyon, Steve O’Keefe.
