Bet on BBL

The Sydney Sixers were so close yet so far as they finished the last season as runners up. The batting order collapsed terribly and the team was bundled under 100 runs while chasing 170 runs in the finals. The Sixers will look to forget the past and move on to focus on the upcoming season.

Their opponents Adelaide Strikers had a decent outing last time winning 8 of the 17 matches they played. They finished fourth last season.

Season 12 of BBL is already on its way and here we are with our analysis of the much-anticipated 2nd match of the season.

The three time champions Sydney Sixers are a team to beat. The squad looks well-balanced and eager to win. This time, the Sixers will be looking to make it all the way.

The Strikers from Adelaide won the BBL honours once back in 2019. The squad contains a list of match winners who have the ability to turn around the game.

Both the teams are equally strong but we lean more towards Sydney Sixers with a 70/30 chance to win the game given the head to head record and overall form.

Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Sixers & Betting Tips 2022

Sydney Sixers look more dangerous and know how to win big matches in the BBL. They have enough firepower to take on any bowling attack and bowlers who can defend. The middle order led by Moises Henriques looks rock solid.

If Sydney Sixers bat first, we expect a score of 155 plus runs. If Adelaide Strikers bat first, expects somewhere between (135 to 150) runs.

Chris Lynn is a major threat to Sydney Sixers. He will look to score quick runs in the powerplay. If he gets going, then we can see a huge total on board.

We are backing the Sydney Sixers to win the 3rd match.
