Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Sixers
Adelaide Strikers (Match Odds – 2.25):
Preview:
The Adelaide Strikers showed a lot of promise by reaching the BBL finals in the previous season. They were defeated in the Challenger by the Sydney Sixers and will be hoping to go one step further this time.
This year’s team features a number of talented batters, including Travis Head. Head is currently playing for the Australian national team against the West Indies at home and will most likely be part of the squad that faces the visiting South Africans. As a result, he is unlikely to play for the Strikers anytime soon.
For the majority of the season, Chris Lynn and Colin de Grandhomme will be in charge of the batting order. Lynn, the BBL’s leading run-scorer with 3005 runs in 100 innings at a strike rate of 148.83, has another opportunity to stamp his authority. Matt Short, the Strikers’ second-highest run-getter with 493 runs at 155.52, is another batter to keep an eye on.
Experienced fast bowler Peter Siddle finished the previous season with 30 wickets, and his presence will be crucial once again. Then there’s Rashid Khan, who will be a constant threat in the middle overs.
Full Squad:
Wes Agar, Cameron Boyce, Alex Carey, Harry Conway, Colin de Grandhomme, Ryan Gibson, Travis Head, Adam Hose, Henry Hunt, Thomas Kelly, Rashid Khan, Chris Lynn, Harry Nielsen, Matt Short, Jake Weatherald, Henry Thorton, Peter Siddle, Ben Manenti

Sydney Sixers (Match Odds – 1.65):
Preview:
In recent years, the Sydney Sixers have been in excellent form. They won the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons before finishing second last season. The Sixers are unquestionably one of the best teams in the league.
In many ways, the Sixers are similar to the Chennai Super Kings, emphasising experience over youth. Sean Abbott, Jackson Bird, Dan Christian, Ben Dwarshuis, Moises Henriques, Daniel Hughes, Hayden Kerr, Steve O’Keefe, and Kurt Patterson are among the squad’s veterans. With the addition of James Vince, their batting lineup gains depth. Vince has played 311 T20 games and scored 8339 runs at an average of 30.65 and a strike rate of 134.32. Kurtis Patterson, who finished last season as the Perth Scorchers’ leading run scorer, is another excellent addition.
With Nathan Lyon and Todd Murphy, the Sixers already have one of the best spin attacks in the BBL, and the addition of Afghanistan leggie Izharulhaq Naveed strengthens the department even more. Chris Jordan, a pace bowler, will also bring valuable experience to the squad and will be their man in the death overs.
Full Squad:
Sean Abbott, Jackson Bird, Dan Christian, Ben Dwarshuis, Moises Henriques, Daniel Hughes, Hayden Kerr, Nathan Lyon, Izharulhaq Naveed, Chris Jordan, Steve O’Keefe, Kurtis Patterson, Josh Philippe, Jordan Silk, James Vince, Todd Murphy, Mickey Edwards, Jack Edwards, Steve Smith
