Melbourne Stars vs Sydney Sixers Betting Tips
Sydney Sixers to score over 22.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85 @Parimatch)
Sydney Sixers have changed their campaign around with terrific batting and bowling performances. Josh Philippe and James Vince make a strong opening line-up of the team and will be looking to continue the same in the competition. In the last three games, the duo posted the scores of 39, 27 & 25 runs before losing their first wicket. Philippe and Vince average at 23.50 & 23.20 respectively in the current competition. They managed to post over our target in all those games and will most likely do the same in the next game. In their last clash against the Stars, they scored 27 runs before Philippe lost his wicket. That said, the pair will score over 22.5 runs before their first dismissal in the next game.
