Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder prediction

Sydney Sixers are likely to welcome back their international superstars for this game, such as Steve Smith and potentially Mitchell Starc. This would boost them even further following their recent run of seven points accumulated from the last eight available to them. The pressure is on the Sixers to keep winning though, as they currently sit outside of the playoff places with two league stage matches left to play.

Sydney Thunder may already be eliminated from playoff contention but the opportunity to damage their intercity rivals’ chances will serve as motivation for the Thunder players. However, with seven losses in nine group fixtures and the expected strengthening of Sydney Sixers squad following the international additions, it would be a big surprise if the hosts weren’t to come out on top here, weather permitting.
