THE TEAM NEWS

ADELAIDE STRIKERS

• Adelaide Strikers have propelled themselves into a solid position on the Big Bash League ladder thanks to making it three straight wins last time out but this will be a tough task for them to extend their winning streak as they host Sydney Sixers.
• The Strikers earned a crucial win over Melbourne Stars as their bowling unit produced the goods when it mattered with Henry Thornton doing the most damage to finish with figures of 4-26.

SYDNEY SIXERS

• Sydney Sixers made it back-to-back wins thanks to a dominant display against local rivals Sydney Thunder and a repeat of that performance would see them win again which would put them in an excellent position to seal a spot in the top two.
• The Sixers showed their class with a brilliant score of 197 for the loss of five wickets against the Thunder with Josh Philippe, Daniel Hughes and Moises Henriques combining superbly with the bat before Steve O’Keefe ripped in with the ball to claim a 4-fer.

THE PREDICTION

Adelaide Strikers are hitting form at just the right time and they could well force their way into the knockout phase of the BBL with another win here against Sydney Sixers. It will not be an easy task but they will be confident having won their last three games. However, the Sixers were excellent in their win over local rivals Sydney Thunder last time out and that level of performance sets the standard here. With a place in the top two well and truly in their own hands, the Sixers will be desperate to avoid slipping up here and they should be able to earn a third straight win.
