Match Prediction – SS vs AS, 60th Match BBL 2021/22, Knockout – Who Will Win Today’s Match?

Sydney Sixers will battle with Adelaide Strikers in the Challenger match of the Big Bash League 2021/22. The winner of this game will meet Perth Scorchers in the final of BBL11.

Defending champions Sydney Sixers have had a pretty great campaign so far. They finished second in the league table but despite having the same number of points (35) as their rivals Sydney Thunder, they edged past them thanks to a healthier net run rate of +1.027. Sixers had won nine of their 14 league stage games and suffered a loss only on four occasions.

Sydney Sixers lost the qualifier against Perth Scorchers in their last game. The likes of Josh Inglis and Kurtis Patterson ran riot with the bat and despite the best efforts of Ben Dwarshuis, Sixers got bowled out for a paltry 140 runs. Scorchers won the game comfortably by 49 runs. With that being said, Sixers will get another chance to qualify for the final courtesy of their high position in the league. They will be desperate to play their second Big Bash League final against Perth Scorchers in as many years.

Adelaide Strikers are two steps away from completing a dream campaign. They have managed a spectacular turnaround in the second half of the campaign. At one point, they had been struggling at the bottom of the table but Strikers went on to mount a streak of six consecutive wins and are just a game away from the final of BBL11.

After beating Hobart Hurricanes in the Eliminator, a revamped Adelaide Strikers side faced Sydney Thunder in the knockout game. Ian Cockbain played a sensational knock and changed the game around for Adelaide Strikers who got enough runs on the board. Sydney Thunder needed just 14 runs to win off the final over but Strikers kept their nerves and ended up sealing a 6-run victory. They will be going into this game with plenty of confidence!

Sydney Sixers dominate the head-to-head record between the two sides. They have won 10 games compared to Adelaide Strikers’ six wins. Sixers have also won four of the last five matches played between the two teams.
