This should be an epic clash though the forecast for Canberra is not great and the weather could play a role. It always pays to check the outlook close to game time.

The Sixers had hoped to add Australian ace Mitchell Starc to the mix for the finals but the big left-armer had scans on both knee during the week and is highly unlikely to play this weekend.

The teams met twice during the tournament proper, with the Scorchers easily winning the first clash in Perth when they piled on 4-183 and the Sixers collapsed in reply for 97, with Andrew Tye snaring four wickets.

In the rematch a fortnight ago at Manuka Oval, the Sixers chased down the Scorchers’ total of 7-163, losing only three wickets as Josh Philippe racked up 84 off 52 balls.

Sixers v Scorchers prediction 30/1/2021

These are the two best teams in it, though the Thunder not far behind and arguably have the most potent batting line-up. This clash should be a cracker with the Sixers holding a slight batting edge and the Scorchers the better bowling outfit, with so much international experience. This should be a classic confrontation and we just hope the weather does not play a decisive role. Our final Sixers v Scorchers prediction? Sixers to advance straight to the final.
