SIX vs STR Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Big Bash League T20 Sydney Sixers vs Adelaide Strikers, 20 December

SIX vs STR Dream11: Sydney Sixers and Adelaide Strikers will be up against each other in the 11th match of this year’s BBL. Both teams have won one game and lost one so far. Sydney Sixers lost the opening game of the season but made a brilliant comeback in their last game thumping Renegades by 145 runs. There were lots of positives in that match and Sixers will look to build on that. Last year’s star Josh Philippe showed his prowess with a match-winning 95 which set the tone. With James Vince, Jordan Silk and Dan Christian in the middle, Sixers have a power-packed batting order. The return of Moises Henriques from injury will strengthen that even more. Ben Dwarshuis has clicked some high speeds this season and has found able support from experienced spinner Steve O’Keefe. Sixers will look to continue their dominant performance in this game.

Adelaide Strikers too made a comeback in their last game. After being thumped by Hurricanes in their first match, they returned the favour to them in their second game. Jack Weatherald carried the team home and with the return of Alex Carey, the middle order looks solid.  Wells has been a well-known figure in the Strikers’ side over the years now. The bowling will be led by ever dependable Rashid Khan but the biggest positive from the last game was Peter Siddle’s 5-wicket haul which turned the match into their favour. Strikers will look to continue their solid performance against a powerful Sixers side.
