Adelaide Strikers Team News & Playing 11
ADS Team News
Alex Carey is due to fly out to India with the Australia limited-overs squad on Wednesday, but Travis Head is available again and Michael Neser and Peter Siddle have already returned.
ADS Key Players
Jake Weatherald: Scored 83 in the win against Perth Scorchers and added another half-century in the game against Sydney Thunder. He has 219 runs in six innings.
Rashid Khan: Took his eight wicket of the tournament last time out, while the Afghan icon has also scored 79 runs with some late hitting in the last three games too.
Phil Salt: Set the tone with 25 from 13 balls as he looks to build on his one half-century of the tournament. He will rack up plenty more if he can get back to top stride.
ADS Team Form
Adelaide Strikers have lost two so far this season, with both defeats coming in their last two games. Jake Weatherald’s half-century helped them to 165/9 against Sydney Thunder, but that was narrowly short of their 169 target.
Then, against the Sixers, they batted first and posted 176/6,but could not defend it. The penultimate over proved decisive in the end in reply as the Sixers eventually won by seven wickets with three balls to spare.

ADS vs SYS Dream11 Prediction
Wicket-keepers
Josh Philippe starred in the Sixers’ win last time out and with Alex Carey due to depart for international duty, the Sixers’ man – who is much cheaper too – is the obvious choice behind the stumps.
Batsmen
For the Strikers, Jake Weatherald will be key with the bat and Jonathan Wells has racked up more than 300 points this season too – outperforming Phil Salt so far. James Vince will want to get back to form for the Sixers, meanwhile, and Justin Avendano will be hard to drop after opening up well last time out.
All-rounders
Travis Head is available again but as he might not be rushed back in, Tom Curran and Michael Neser are safer options. The latter returned last time out, while the English international is closing in on 400 points this season.
Bowlers
Rashid Khan is the most expensive bowler at 9.5 credits, but on his day he is the leading T20 bowler in world cricket and has 351 points in this year’s Big Bash League. Peter Siddle is back for the Strikers, meanwhile, and leading their pace attack. For the Sixers, they might have Nathan Lyon back but Sean Abbott and Josh Hazlewood are definitely not going to be involved. Ben Dwarshuis at 8.5 credits, and in-form Lloyd Pope at eight credits are both good options therefore.
Captain/vice-captain
Tom Curran’s points accumulation show what he has offered with bat and ball so far but he needs to improve to get back to his best bowling form. Vice-captain is still a good option though. For captain, you want consistency and Lloyd Pope’s seven wickets in three games is a run of form worth taking a punt on.

Sydney Sixers Team News & Playing 11
SYS Team News
Josh Hazlewood’s return was a one-off last time out, as he made a solitary appearance to prove his fitness before heading back off to join the Australia squad. Sean Abbott has withdrawn from that squad with injury, but that does the Sixers no favours either. In more positive news, Nathan Lyon is available, though he is not being rushed back, and Moises Henriques is back with the squad after his wife gave birth. Justin Avendano made himself had to drop, however, so there are some interesting selection decisions ahead.
SYS Key Players
Josh Philippe: His blistering, match-winning 83* at the top of the order was his second unbeaten 80+ score of the BBL 2019-20 tournament. He has 256 runs in total.
Lloyd Pope: The 20-year-old leg-spinner was expensive last time out but he did pick up two more wickets to move to seven in his last three matches.
Tom Curran: A little expensive with the ball in the last two matches, but he does have eight wickets to his name and can provide some late order runs too – as he proved by hitting a six and a four in his brief unbeaten innings to help seal the win against Adelaide.
SYS Team Form
Sydney Sixers’ seven-wicket win in Coffs Harbour was their fourth victory in a row and fifth in total this season. Lloyd Pope has been in the wickets of late, taking two wickets apiece in wins against Melbourne Renegades and Adelaide Strikers.
Against the Renegades, the Sixers chased 154 to win by six wickets in the final over. It went to the final over against the Strikers too, but Josh Philippe’s 83* from 52 balls led them to a seven-wicket win with three balls to spare.
