Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder Preview
These two sides find themselves at opposite ends of the spectrum ahead of the second Sydney Smash of the year.
The ladder-leading Sixers come in having won three straight, while the Thunder are in the midst of a serious three-game losing skid after coming up short to the Hurricanes on Monday night.
The Sixers have been all class this year and that was certainly the case when these two sides met last week.
The Thunder’s bowling attack really wasn’t up to scratch last time out, which allowed Josh Philippe to run the show scoring 64 runs off 36 balls.
The Sixers’ spinners also dominated the previous game and they should have plenty to work with on the Adelaide Oval wicket.
Overall, there’s great value on offer here, but it’s hard to go past the championship favourites.
