SCO vs SIX will lock horns each other in the 39th match of the BBL 2023-24 at the Perth Stadium on January 16. With the business end of the tournament in play, Sydney Sixers are in a good position as they are placed third with five wins from nine games, while Perth Scorchers have an even better situation with six wins under their belt and ranked second in the table.

Sydney Sixers squared off against Sydney Thunder in their last encounter, where Sydney Thunder won the toss and elected to bowl. The Sixers did not start well, losing Smith on the very first ball, but a second-wicket partnership worth 59 runs brought them back. This partnership was then followed by a couple of more decent partnerships, which led the team to a total of 157 runs. Thunder had a thunderous approach to the chase as they amassed 44 runs for the first wicket in 4 overs, but after the fall of the first wicket, they just kept losing one after the other. They eventually lost the game by 19 runs.

Perth Scorchers played against Brisbane Heat in their last match, where Perth Scorchers won the toss and elected to bat. On a slow track, Scorchers had a decent start, but after losing the first wicket, the top and the middle order collapsed. A brilliant partnership for the seventh wicket saved them the game as they reached a good total of 163 runs. Brisbane, in reply, started well, with both the openers looking good, but none of the batters to follow could add significant partnerships to the tally. They were bowled out for 128 and lost the game by 35 runs.
