Sixers bowling: Sixers have had a good run in the season with the ball with Ben Dwarshius, Sean Abbott, Jake Ball, Steven O’Keefe all doing a decent job.

TIP: Mitchell Starc is a terrific T20 bowler and has odds of 9.00 to win the Player of the Match award on his return to the Big Bash League.
Jason Roy and Colin Munro: The two add a different dimension to the Scorchers batting and have been in top form this season. The big overseas hitters will be tasked with ensuring the Scorchers counter the Sixers powerplay bowling.
