SYS vs ADS TEAMS PREVIEW
Sydney Sixers Preview
Sixers have sent a clear message to other teams participating in the tournament that they are competent enough despite some of their key players not being able to participate in the Tournament due to National duties.
Initially team was focused on Steve Smith but then the benched players stepped up & helped the Sixers register a crucial win in an away fixture against Hobart Hurricanes. In the bowling department, Sean Abbott didn’t feature in the bowling attack but the other bowlers made a point to trouble the opponents. They never actually allowed the Hurricanes to display match-winning performances by scalping regular wickets & restricted Hobart to a below-the-par score.
In the batting order, the good work was done by Daniel Hughes who entered into the Playing XI after Steve Smith left the squad for Test duties. Hughes chased the target with a match-winning unbeaten 60 in a low-scoring thriller. The team has a strong mixture of International and local Players who take on any challenge that Strikers might throw at them with both bat & ball.
Sydney Sixers Predicted Playing XI:
Josh Philippe (wk), James Vince, Daniel Hughes, Moises Henriques (c), Jordan Silk, Jack Edwards, Hayden Kerr, Ben Dwarshuis, Jackson Bird, Todd Murphy, Steve OKeefe.
Adelaide Strikers Preview
Adelaide Strikers marched away with two points in their kitty when they last faced Sydney Thunder. But most of the time in crunch situations their performance & calculation don’t look that perfect. In the bowling attack, their bowlers couldn’t control the scoring rate & went on to give away runs from 1 to 15 overs. Captain Matthew Short and Wes Agar had an off day with the ball and James Bazley was belted out of the attack at the end of his first over, but other bowlers combined to restrict the flow of runs & did exceptionally well in the back end.
The pitch was batters-friendly but a total of 201 was huge. In reply, Matthew Short paired with Darcy Short to put up a massive 139-run opening wicket stand to give strikers a great chance of winning the fixture. But others like Chris Lynn and Jake Weatherald couldn’t get going at all, and it all came down to Englishman Adam Hose to score that much-needed boundaries. He did deliver with a stellar unbeaten 28 off 9 & Strikers got home with 2 balls to spare. Sydney Sixers is a much sterner challenge but having pulled off a huge chase, Adelaide Strikers will be equal to the task.
Adelaide Strikers Predicted Playing XI:
Matthew Short (c), D Arcy Short, Chris Lynn, Jake Weatherald, Adam Hose, Jamie Overton, James Bazley, Harry Nielsen (wk), Wes Agar, David Payne, Cameron Boyce.
