Can Sixers overcome the Scorchers in SCO vs SIX Dream11 BBL 2021-22 Qualifier?

Very difficult one to predict since both teams have had a successful run towards the playoffs. They also won their respective last fixtures for the league stage and so aren’t short of momentum. But Scorchers carry a slight edge as they’ve displayed stronger depth and winning form in the competition so far, clinching 11 victories to nine by the Sixers.

Josh Philippe (10 credits) – Sixers’ top run-getter with 424 runs at a strike-rate of 145.70, wicketkeeper-batter Philippe remains a strong captaincy pick.

Moises Henriques (9.5 credits) – only second to Philippe in the runs tally for Sixers, Henriques has blasted 403 runs in the competition with a strike-rate of 145.48. He is another fruitful choice for captaincy.
