The SCG pitch usually helps pace bowlers with some early movement, but it becomes easier for batters as the game goes on. Captains winning the toss are likely to choose to bowl first to make the most of the early conditions.
The temperature is expected to be around 22°C, and the forecast indicates high chance of rain.

Both teams are struggling with form in recent matches. The Sixers had lost 2 of their last 3 contests, with 1 match abandoned while the Scorchers had lost the last 2 games. The key will be both teams’ strong squads, but generally, we can expect a tight contest, and this could go in favor of Sydney Sixers.
