Preview
The sixth match of the Big Bash League 2022 will see Perth Scorchers host Sydney Sixers. Notably, these two teams last met in the final of BBL 2021 where Scorchers defeated Sixers to lift the title for the fourth time. However, the defending champions have some weak links in the squad. While Colin Munro and Kurtis Patterson have signed up with different teams, Mitchell Marsh and Phil Salt have been ruled out due to injuries.
Meanwhile, the Sixers started their 2022 campaign with a defeat against Adelaide Strikers. The side will be hoping for a better show from bowlers who went for plenty in the first game.

Perth Scorchers will be playing at their home ground and with the kind of bowling line-up they have, they can restrict the opposition team to less score and hence are likely to win.
