Preview:
The Strikers hold the short edge in the market with this match being played on somewhat neutral turf in Coffs Harbour, but Adelaide will be hoping to make up for a disappointing home loss to the Thunder on New Year’s Eve.
Sydney comes into this game in much better shape riding back-to-back wins over the Scorchers and Thunder. The Sixers have also won their last two matches against the Strikers, making this game very tough to pick.
The Sixers hold a convincing 3-1 record as the home underdog over the last 12 months and also lead the competition in runs scored. Sydney’s success so far boils down to a strong balance of bat and ball, led by Josh Phillipe – who ranks seventh in runs scored – and Sean Abbott, the BBL’s second leading wicket taker.
This match should go a long way to determining the top four spots on the ladder, but with the Sixers likely to have more support as the home team, it’s worth backing Sydney to keep their winning streak alive.
