Hot Fantasy Picks
Wicket Keeper
Josh Inglis: Josh Inglis provides a power-hitting keeper-batsman option to any team. He can be a good fantasy pick for any match.
Josh Philippe: In his previous match, Philippe was the second-highest scorer for the Sixers (26 Runs - 4s*2). As an opener, he can turn any match with his power-hitting.
Batsmen
Faf Du Plessis: Former South African opener is a mixture of destructiveness and Patience. He can bat as the situation of the match demands. A good Captain or Vice Captain option for a team.
James Vince: If there’s an early wicket, then Vince plays an anchor role for the team. He can take the game away from the opponent with his steady batting.
All Rounders
Daniel Christian: Dan Christian can bat at any position +also he provides an extra medium-pace bowling option which will be a very handy pick for this Australian condition.
Moises Henriques: Moises played an anchor inning in the last match against the Strikers which shows that he can bat steadily as well as aggressively, whenever he wants. Will be a good all-rounder option for this match.
Bowlers
Jhye Richardson: With his pace and seam, Richardson can be a good pace option for the pitch like Perth. He can destroy any team’s batting line-up on his fortune day.
Sean Abbott: Abbott was the highest wicket-taker (37/3) for the Sixers in the last encounter with the Strikers. And now on Perth’s pitch, he will be more difficult to play with his pace. A good fast-bowling option for Perth’s pitch.
Both teams want to win this match. Scorchers want to start their campaign with a sweet win whereas the Sixers surely want to gain momentum after their first defeat.
