Cricket Free Tips | BBL 2021/22, Match 16: Sydney Sixers vs Adelaide Strikers

Sydney Sixers will face the Adelaide Strikers in the 16th match of the BBL 2021/22. The Sydney Sixers are in great form now, having won 3 of their 4 games. Josh Philippe has been the fundamental strength behind their success, and he is expected to continue in that role. In the final over of the match against Melbourne Stars, they chased down 178 for their third tournament win.

In contrast, Adelaide Strikers have had a difficult start to the competition, and they’ve only managed to win one game so far. Their major players, Alex Carey and Travis Head are on national duty and will be missed greatly. They don’t have any big hitters in the middle of the lineup, so they’ll have to find other ways to score runs.

Weather
During the match in Sydney, a clear sky prevailed, with temperatures dropping from 25~23°C.

Pitch
The Sydney Cricket Ground’s pitch is ideal for batting. When the ball is correctly placed on the bat, the hitters can freely play their strokes. As the game goes, the playing surface should improve.
