Who will win Sydney Sixers vs Adelaide Strikers T20 Match?
Sydney Sixers are a brilliant T20 side and they have developed habits of winners over the last five or six years in the tournament. Adelaide Strikers caught the eye with their batting performance on Tuesday but we expect them to be second best against the Sixers.
🏆 Sydney Sixers vs Adelaide Strikers Prediction
There are some top T20 players on show on both sides in this game at the SCG and neither team has been beaten yet in this year’s BBL. There is a good chance that the Sixers and the Strikers could go to the knockout stages so
This should be a close contest with Sydney Sixers set to have a much stronger batting line-up with Quinton de Kock at the top of the order. However, Adelaide Strikers have been very good with both bat and ball in this year’s BBL and we are backing them to win this game.
