Sydney Sixers are favourites to win
The penultimate game of the 2021-22 BBL brings Sydney Sixers and Adelaide Strikers together in the Challenger at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Wednesday evening. Sydney Sixers have won the last two BBL tournaments and finished in 2nd place in the group stage. Adelaide Strikers have already won Eliminator and Qualifier play-off fixtures. Read on as we preview this game. This BBL play-off match begins at the MCG at 19:15 local time.
Sydney Sixers may have stumbled a few times in recent weeks but they have won the last two BBL titles and know how to get a victory when it matters.
Adelaide Strikers are the form side of the tournament and just about held their nerve in the last match. This will be another tough fixture for the Strikers.
Seven Network and Fox Sports will show this game in Australia. In India, you can watch it on Sony Six. Sky Cricket have the rights in the UK with Willow TV showing the match in the USA. In South Africa you can watch it on SuperSport with Sky Sports showing the game in New Zealand.
BBL Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
Adelaide Strikers have won the toss and chosen to bat in both of their play-off games. We expect both skippers to choose to bat first in this match.
This is the first game at the SCG since the Sydney derby when we saw spinner Steve O’Keefe take 4 wickets. We expect a par score to be around 180 on this pitch.
Sunny spells with patches of cloud and a high temperature of 22 degrees in Sydney.

Daniel Hughes injured his ankle in the warm-up for the Qualifier fixture on Saturday and he was replaced by Nick Bertus in the line-up. Hughes is not expected to be available for this match but could return for the final if Sydney Sixers get there.
The Sixers have lost two of their last three games but are only one game away from another BBL final.
Josh Philippe (wk), Justin Avendano, Nick Bertus, Moises Henriques (c), Jordan Silk, Daniel Christian, Sean Abbott, Hayden Kerr, Ben Dwarshuis, Nathan Lyon, Steve O’Keefe
Sydney Thunder were the latest team to be brushed aside by Adelaide Strikers in Sunday’s Knockout match. Peter Siddle’s side were unchanged and, although not at their best, got over the winning line. With no injuries, we do not expect any changes to the Adelaide Strikers XI for this crucial game.
The Strikers have won six consecutive matches in the BBL
Matthew Short, Alex Carey (wk), Ian Cockbain, Travis Head, Jonathan Wells, Matthew Renshaw, Thomas Kelly, Henry Thornton, Peter Siddle (c), Harry Conway, Fawad Ahmed
Adelaide Strikers won the last meeting after seven successive Sydney Sixers wins in the fixture.

The bookies are struggling to split the sides with Sydney Sixers slight favourites.
Coinciding with the winning run, the Adelaide Strikers batters have been climbing the run scorers table over the last few weeks.
Josh Philippe, Moises Henriques and Nick Bertus are our batting tips for Sydney Sixers. Philippe has hit 4 half-centuries in the tournament so far.
Alex Carey, Matt Short and Jonathan Wells are our batting recommendations for Adelaide Strikers. Short and Wells have both hit 400+ runs in this season’s BBL.
For Sydney Sixers, Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis and Hayden Kerr are our bowling tips. Kerr has 24 wickets across this year’s competition.
For Adelaide Strikers, Peter Siddle, Henry Thornton and Fawad Ahmed are our bowling tips. Thornton has 11 BBL wickets since January 12.
With a final against Perth Scorchers on Friday evening in Melbourne up for grabs, this should be an excellent Challenger match. Adelaide Strikers are in fine form but did almost slip up in their last match game. We are backing the BBL winning experience of Sydney Sixers to get them over the line in this fixture.
