TEAMS PREVIEW
Sydney Sixers (ol) Preview
Sydney Sixers started the season with a 16-run loss against Hobart Hurricanes. However, they came back strongly in the next game to register an incredible 145-run win versus the Melbourne Renegades. It was a near-perfect match for the Sixers where they first a mammoth 205-4 on the board and then shot out the opposition for just 60 runs. They would be looking to carry that performance forward now in this match.
Opener Josh Philippe, whose scintillating 57-ball 95, set the innings for the Sixers in the last match, would again be expected to deliver the goods. Captain Daniel Hughes, Jack Edwards, and Jordan Silk are the other batsmen to watch out for as they have been in good touch. Silk’s cameo (45 off 19 balls) down the order was particularly exciting.
On the bowling front, Steve OKeefe and Ben Dwarshuis, who took 7 wickets between in the last match, looked the best of the lot. Ben Manenti has also been in good flow but Carlos Brathwaite would have to ensure that he doesn’t leak too many runs.
Sydney Sixers (ol) Predicted Playing XI:
Josh Philippe (wk), Jack Edwards, James Vince, Daniel Hughes (c), Jordan Silk, Daniel Christian, Carlos Brathwaite, Ben Dwarshuis, Steve OKeefe, Ben Manenti, Gurinder Sandhu

Adelaide Strikers Preview
The Adelaide Strikers too began their campaign with a loss – against the Hobart Hurricanes by 11 runs. But they came back strongly in the next game against the same opposition and clinched a 5-wicket win.
That victory was earned through a solid bowling performance where the Strikers restricted the Hurricanes for just 146 runs courtesy of a sensational spell of 5-16 by captain Peter Siddle. The experienced seamer is the backbone of the bowling attack and will be a vital cog for them throughout the tournament. The other factor in their lineup is leg-spinner Rashid Khan whose 4 overs could easily change the game. Wes Agar has been among the wickets too and his contribution could be valuable.
Adelaide’s batting is pretty decent but they are dependent on the likes of captain Alex Carey and Jake Weatherald. They would expect some good contributions from Philip Salt, Matt Renshaw, and Jonathan Wells. However, their batting does look a tad fragile and can be exploited by a good bowling attack.
Adelaide Strikers Predicted Playing XI:
Philip Salt, Jake Weatherald, Matt Renshaw, Alex Carey (c & wk), Jonathan Wells, Ryan Gibson, Rashid Khan, Daniel Worrall, Peter Siddle, Wes Agar, Matthew Short, Danny Briggs

Winning Prediction
In the last 5 matches between Sydney Sixers and Adelaide Strikers, the Sixers have won 4 back-to-back games. That certainly will give them the advantage in this match. While both the teams are in a similar situation right now, the Sixers are slightly ahead. Their batting is much stronger and they must be glowing in confidence from the last win. The Strikers, meanwhile, have a good bowling unit but lack the spark in batting. Hence, the Sixers are slightly ahead in this clash.
The Sydney Sixers are the expected winners of this contest.
