Both sides come in with similar tournaments. They look good but blow cold shortly later. Sixers will be boosted though by the form of Steve Smith, who hit a flawless hundred on return to the BBL.

AS vs SS Key Players

Moises Henriques

At 38, Moises Henriques continues to enjoy his cricket. Nearly out of international reckoning, Henriques has a chance of doing something similar to Dan Christian who also used the Sixers to make a late comeback in his career.

Henry Thornton

Thornton the all-rounder has started the tournament well. His bowling was not the greatest but his batting will definitely be something that makes the Strikers happy.

Match Prediction: Sydney Sixers Will Win the Match

AS vs SS Match Preview

Adelaide Strikers will face the Sydney Sixers in their final home game of the season. With only two games remaining during their league stage campaign, the Strikers have to win both to have a chance of making the playoffs. The Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, will compete for the top spot. They appeared to have suddenly lost their way after two consecutive losses, but their most recent victory has put them back on track to win. The Sixers desperately required that comeback with the bat. They will face an in-form Adelaide batting lineup, which recently scored 251 on this spot. Steven Smith's 121 off 64 balls was the highlight of the Sixers' recent victory at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

AS vs SS Pitch Report

The pitch is ideal for batting because the ball comes easily onto the bat. Bowlers have a difficult time here, and the side that bats first must keep a target score of 130 runs in mind, and the average first-innings score is 183.

There will be clear skies, and we expect a batting-friendly wicket where fast bowlers will struggle.

Topmost Picks for AS vs SS Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Sydney Sixers

• Steve Smith –  Steve Smith, who played his first match of the season on Saturday, played a blazing knock of 121 runs and looks in excellent form.
• Sean Abbott – Sean Abbott bowled a brilliant spell in the last match to pick up 4 wickets.

Top Picks – Adelaide Strikers

• Matthew Short – Matthew Short is one of the most consistent batsmen in the Strikers team. He has scored 50+ runs in each of his last two innings.
• Jamie Overton –  Overton has done well with the ball though, picking up 9 wickets.

AS vs SS Probable Winners:

Though the Adelaide Strikers won the last time they played here and it is their home ground, we believe they will not have a significant advantage in this match. Their bowlers are unreliable, and the opposition has a strong batting order with several big hitters. The Sixers still have some batting issues to work out, but they will have a slight advantage in our match prediction and will start as favorites to win. Considering the team combination, Sydney Sixers is expected to win this match.
