Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder Prediction
Sydney Sixers' BBL 07 campaign has been nothing less than a nightmare as they are still searching for their first win after six matches. With no hopes of making it through to the finals, they will be looking to spoil the Thunder's party who are still alive in the tournament. Shane Watson and Co. are hanging by a thread and they will be under pressure as a defeat in this game will put an end to their campaign as well. They will feel confident though having beaten the Sixers four times in their last five encounters. Sydney Thunder are playing much better than their cross-town rivals this season and so we predict them to win this crunch game.
Final Verdict: Back Sydney Thunder to beat Sydney Sixers at 1.80 on Bet365, 1.73 on 10Cric, 1.72 on Betway and 1.75 each on betfair and Unibet.
