However, both the teams are on the rise, which makes it a mouth-watering contest to look forward to. The Sixers came back strongly after a blip against the Brisbane Heat and the defending champions are firmly on the top of the ladder with 21 points, two more than the second-placed Thunder, the other Sydney side.
While the Perth Scorchers after an indifferent start, losing two of their first three, with one being washed out, have came storming back into the reckoning with a couple of wins in their last two games. The bowlers have taken early wickets, the batting has been bolstered with the inclusin of two Englishmen, Jason Roy and Liam Livingstone and the top-order has scored heap of runs.
Sixers, on the other hand eased past the Adelaide Strikers with a comfortable win, after bowlers set them up by restricting the men in blue to just 150. After which, opening wicket-keeper batsman Josh Philippe continued his run-scoring form, with Jordan Silk and James Vince finishing the game.
