The defending champions Adelaide Strikers bounced back with back to back wins after consecutive losses to place themselves at No.3 in the points table. They will now be up against the Sydney Sixers who have been quite inconsistent due to their top-order. The Sixers have three wins and three defeats from the six matches they played this season and are placed at No.4. Both the sides have a variety of bowlers in their line-up while their batting hasn’t been up to the mark.

The Strikers have decided to rest Ben Laughlin keeping the long tournament ahead and will be replaced by Peter Siddle. The 34-year-old has been released from Australian Test duties but will leave once the home ODI series against India begins. Captain Travis Head is expected to return for Friday’s home game against the Melbourne Stars. The Sixers also made one change to the squad as young leg-spinner Lloyd Pope returns to the squad in the place of Greg West.

Match Details:

The 22nd match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2018-19 will be played between Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers at the Adelaide Oval.

The match starts at 6:45 PM local time (8:15 AM GMT) (1:45 PM IST).

The game will be live on Sony SIX and Sony SIX HD in India. Live streaming is available on Sony Liv.

Pitch Condition/Report:

The Adelaide Oval can be considered as the best track for the batsmen in this BBL season as scores of 160+ have been accomplished at this venue. The chasing teams have an upper hand due to the short square boundaries here but the visiting sides struggle to achieve the targets due to the Strikers’ bowling.


Squads:

Adelaide Strikers:

Colin Ingram (C), Wes Agar, Alex Carey (WK), Rashid Khan, Jake Lehmann, Michael Neser, Liam O’Connor, Peter Siddle, Matt Short, Billy Stanlake, Cameron Valente, Jake Weatherald, Jonathan Wells.

Sydney Sixers:

Moises Henriques (C), Sean Abbott, Justin Avendano, Tom Curran, Joe Denly, Ben Dwarshuis, Jack Edwards, Dan Hughes, Ben Manenti, Steve O’Keefe, Josh Philippe, Jordan Silk, Lloyd Pope.

Injury and Availability Updates after the announcement of the squads:

(Will be updated when there is an update)


Power Picks:

Peter Siddle has been at his prime in this BBL season having bagged 15 wickets across 13 matches since the start of 2017/18 season. Siddle averaged only 16.53 with the ball in this span and conceded runs at an economy rate of 5.77.

Captain and Vice-Captain Selection:

Alex Carey has been in good nick and is ideal for one of the multiplier options. Colin Ingram played a good inning against Sydney Thunder which is just the beginning. The likes of Tom Curran and Rashid Khan are proper alternatives for multipliers.


Playing XI #1 for Head to Head/Small Leagues:

Keeper – Alex Carey (VC)

Batters – Moises Henriques, Colin Ingram (C), Justin Avendano, Jordan Silk

All-Rounders – Matthew Short, Tom Curran

Bowlers – Rashid Khan, Steve O’Keefe, Sean Abbott, Peter Siddle

Playing XI #2 for Grand Leagues/Mega Leagues:

Keeper – Alex Carey (C)

Batters – Moises Henriques, Jake Weatherald, Jordan Silk

All-Rounders – Tom Curran, Cameron Valente

Bowlers – Rashid Khan (VC), Steve O’Keefe, Sean Abbott, Peter Siddle, Billy Stanlake

Expert Advice:

Most big names on both sides are with 9+ credits and one needs to take a gamble by dropping one of them. One of the main reasons for considering Ingram ahead of Weatherald is that the Sixers’ bowling has not troubled the Strikers’ stand-in captain.

Probable Winners:

Adelaide Strikers are expected to continue the good form at their home venue and defeat Sydney Sixers.
