The Perth Scorchers will be aiming for consecutive wins against the Sydney Sixers in the BBL for the first time since December 2022, following their five-wicket victory when they last met earlier this season (14 December 2025).
The Sydney Sixers have won their last five BBL matches, bowling first on the day in each of those five games; a sixth consecutive win in this match would equal their longest winning run in the history of the competition (W6 in January 2023 and W6 from January to December in 2012).
The Sydney Sixers have a catch success rate of 91.5% (54/59) in this BBL15 season, the best of any team in the competition; only the Brisbane Heat (20) have dropped more catch attempts in the campaign than the Perth Scorchers (16).
Steve Smith has scored 43.3% of the Sydney Sixers’ runs when he’s played in this BBL15 season, the best rate of any player for a team in the campaign and more than 10 percentage points than the next best player (David Warner – 32.4% for Sydney Thunder).
Batters have played and missed at 22.2% of Joel Paris’ (Perth Scorchers) 135 balls bowled in this BBL15 season, the highest rate of any player in the competition (min. 55 balls bowled).
