Sydney Sixers have officially signed Indian cricketing superstar Virat Kohli for the next two seasons of the Big Bash League (BBL). The news has rocked the cricketing world, with Kohli set to become the first Indian player in history to take part in Australia’s Big Bash League.

Kohli’s move to the BBL would represent a seismic shock to the franchise-cricket landscape. For many years, Indian players were barred from joining other countries’ T20 leagues because of the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) draconian policies. This development indicates a further easing of these restrictions, freeing one of India’s most vaunted cricketing icons to put his talents on display in Australian conditions.

Replacing Virat Kohli in the Sydney Sixers will be a huge shot in the arm for the league with international eyeballs, sponsorship dollars and fans filling up. Even more important, his presence will increase the competition’s quality, helping to attract other international players and further strengthen the league’s reputation.

Naturally, the announcement has created a fair amount of buzz among fans and transportation experts. Sydney Sixers’ coach and players have all shared their excitement at the prospect of Kohli joining the squad, with his leadership skills, experience and world-class batting ability all cited as vital assets to the team.

Kohli’s potential shift to the BBL would open doors for other Indian cricketers to seek opportunities in overseas leagues around the world. If the BCCI is serious about relaxing its stance, we’ll only see more Indian competitors in international T20 leagues in the coming years.

The Sydney Sixers have won their last four games against the Sydney Thunder, including one this season. The Sixers are riding high after two recent wins. The Thunder, on the other hand, have had a successful season and come into this game with renewed trust after snapping a two-game losing streak. Regrettably, for them, injuries have taken their toll, and they may struggle against a formidable Sixers team. Given the current form of both teams, we predict a Sixers victory in this upcoming game. Considering the team combination, Sydney Sixers is expected to win this 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.

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.

SS vs PS Match Preview

The Sydney Sixers will face the Perth Scorchers in Match 30 of the BBL 2024-25 on Saturday at the Sydney Cricket Ground. The Sixers, who are level on points with the Thunder and Hurricanes in both first and third place, are comfortably second in the standings. A victory here could assist them reclaim the lead, which they lost after losing their previous game. The Scorchers, on the other hand, are in fifth place, with six points from seven games. The Sixers defeated them last season and, given their current state of play, will be confident they can do so again.

SS vs PS Probable Winners:

Despite two losses in their last three games, the Sydney Sixers remain dominant this BBL season and are currently in a strong position to compete for the finals. They have performed admirably in all areas, defeating the Perth Scorchers in their most recent meeting. In contrast, the Scorchers have struggled for stability and have yet to find their groove. Unless they pull off something extraordinary, the Sixers should have the advantage in this game. Considering the team combination, Sydney Sixers is expected to win this match.

SS vs MS Match Preview

The Melbourne Stars will play the Sydney Sixers at home. This will be the Stars' third match at this venue this season. The hosts, who won their last game here by chasing down 169 with 5 wickets in hand, will be confident and looking for their third consecutive win. The Sydney Sixers' last match against Hobart resulted in a massive batting collapse. Prior to this loss, they had been exceptional with the bat, having effectively chased down a 195-run target versus MLS at home. The hosts rely on their lower and middle-order batters because the top order has been inconsistent. Marcus Stoinis, who batted at number five in the previous two successful run chases, stood out.
