Preview:
A win for Sydney could vault them into first place as they look to improve to 6-2, while the Strikers will be hoping to distance themselves from the Thunder with their fourth win of the season.
The bookies have had very little work to do in shaping the market after both sides met three days ago in Coffs Harbour. The Sixers emerged victorious by seven wickets, largely due to a handy 83 not-out performance by Josh Philippe.
Sydney has quietly been one of the most productive teams in the Big Bash and they look seriously undervalued at their current price. The Sixers lead the league in runs scored and also feature three of the Top 10 wicket takers.
Most importantly though, the Sixers have won their last three games against the Strikers, so it’s worth taking Sydney to win this one outright.
