It is close to a coin flip, but our pick is Perth Scorchers, who come out marginally ahead at 51%.

Perth Scorchers come in with the better form, having won one of their last five games, while Sydney Thunder have won no of their last two. That said, Sydney Thunder lead the head-to-head record 11-10, which is why this is far from a sure thing.

We expect a first-innings score of around 165, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
