Pitch Report: The surface at the Lilac Hill Park in Perth has assisted the bowlers quite a bit. In the previous game at the venue, the Scorchers and the Adelaide Strikers played a fixture that went to the Super Over despite the hosts posting only 121/5 in the first half. Expect another such track and one more low-scoring encounter.

PS-W vs SS-W Dream11 Prediction

Who will come out on top in the PS-W vs SS-W game?

The Scorchers are a battle-hardened side, having won their close-fought Super Over fixture with Strikers in the last match. The Sixers, on the other hand, lost to Melbourne Renegades. The Scorchers are not only placed higher in the points table but also carrying a greater sense of momentum for a game at their home venue. They do have an edge for this one.
