The third match of the Women's Big Bash League (WBBL) 2025 will see Perth Scorchers face Sydney Sixers at the WACA Ground in Perth on Sunday, November 9 at 3:00 pm. Perth Scorchers narrowly missed the semi-finals last season, finishing fifth, while Sydney Sixers endured a disappointing campaign with only three wins from ten matches, placing sixth. In the recent T20 Spring Challenge, the Scorchers reached the semi-final before their match against Hobart Hurricanes was abandoned, whereas the Sixers finished fifth with two wins and two losses. The WACA pitch is traditionally fast and bouncy, favoring quick bowlers and demanding cautious batting. Both teams will look to start their campaign strongly. The match will be broadcast live on the Star Sports Network and streamed on JioHotstar.
Match Preview and Team Form
Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers have faced each other 21 times, with the Scorchers winning 11 matches and the Sixers claiming nine victories, alongside one tied game. Their most recent encounter took place on November 21, 2024. Both teams aim to bounce back from underwhelming previous campaigns. Perth came close to qualifying for the knockout stage but fell short, while Sydney struggled significantly with consistency. The WACA Ground's fast and bouncy pitch will test both batting lineups, making careful shot selection essential. Fast bowlers are expected to dominate, though spinners like Alana King could prove crucial. The team batting first is predicted to have the advantage in this contest.
