Sydney Sixers Women vs Adelaide Strikers Women Match Prediction & Betting Tips, WBBL 2021
The Sydney derby brings Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder together at Harrup Park, Mackay on Sunday afternoon in the WBBL. Sydney Sixers are in 6th place with nine points from eleven games. Sydney Thunder are at the foot of the table with only six points from ten games. Read on as we preview this match. This WBBL game begins at 12:40 local time.
After a poor batting performance against Brisbane Heat, Sydney Sixers showed excellent character to take 7 wickets defending a small total. If they can perform with the bat like they did with the ball then they will be strong in this game.
Sydney Thunder have not won a WBBL game since October but should be motivated to get a result against their city rivals in this clash.

Sydney Sixers Women Team News & Playing 11
SSW Team News
Australian international Lauren Cheatle replaced Claire Moore in the Sydney Sixers XI before the game against Brisbane Heat. She made 4 not-out from 6 balls before taking 3-16 with the ball in hand. She has certainly done enough to retain her place in the side.
SSW Key Players
- Nicole Bolton- the experienced batter has hit 25, 34 and an unbeaten 38 in her last three visits to the crease. She top scored for Sydney Sixers on Saturday.
- Ellyse Perry- although she made a 12-ball 2 against Brisbane Heat, the vastly experienced all-rounder has been in strong form with the bat during the competition.
- Ashleigh Gardner- the Australian international has recorded successive ducks in the competition but had been in exceptional form prior to those two blanks.
The Sixers have now lost all of their last three games and are losing more and more ground on the top four sides in the WBBL.

Sydney Thunder Women Team News & Playing 11
STW Team News
Thunder’s game against Perth Scorchers did not go the distance with the rain arriving at the Karen Rolton Oval after only 2.3 overs of Thunders’ reply. The bowlers struggled in Adelaide but should find the conditions in Mackay far more attractive. We expect to see an unchanged XI for this match.
STW Key Players
- Smriti Mandhana- the Indian opener has hit 2 half-centuries in this year’s WBBL but will be looking to add to that tally in the Sydney derby.
- Phoebe Litchfield- the young top order batter has made the most runs of any Sydney Thunder player but is yet to make a half-century this season.
- Hannah Darlington- the right-arm medium pace bowler has been a model of consistency and always finds a way to dismiss batters.
Thunder’s last win came on October 31 against Hobart Hurricanes. Since then they have lost two and suffered a rain interrupted no-result.
Sydney Thunder Women Predicted Playing 11
Smriti Mandhana, Tahlia Wilson (wk), Phoebe Litchfield, Deepti Sharma, Sammy-Jo Johnson, Anika Learoyd, Hannah Darlington (c), Issy Wong, Lauren Smith, Kate Peterson, Samantha Bates
