SIX vs STA Pitch Report 

The venue has hosted one game in the tournament so far. It was a curtailed game and saw plenty of runs. A total of 268 runs were hammered in just 28 overs. Expect the same again as batters will find it easy to score while the pacers may find it a nightmare. The spinners could be the X factor.

SIX Playing 11 

• The Sixers have announced an unchanged 16-member squad for this match.
• Kurtis Patterson and Josh Philippe should open the innings with the likes of James Vince handling the middle order.
• Steve O’Keefe’s spin will play a vital role while Sean Abbott is a key bowler in middle overs and he could be among the wickets.

Josh Philippe was the man of the match in the previous game as he made 43 runs off just 21 balls. Expect a similar performance from him. He is an attractive batter with a decent T20 record.

Sean Abbott is a key player in this game as he will be looking for wickets even if means going for some runs. He picked 2 wickets for 33 runs in the last game.

STA Playing 11 

• The Stars have made one change to their squad. They have rested Nathan Coulter-Nile for this game.
• The combination of Joe Clarke and Thomas Rogers looks set to open the innings with Marcus Stoinis and Nick Larkin beefing up the middle order.
• Luke Wood can once again be the point of difference with Adam Zampa’s spin playing a key role at the SCG

Marcus Stoinis is having a rough patch. But he is too good a batter to miss many. He can make a comeback in this game as his T20 record is outstanding.

Luke Wood bagged a five-wicket hall in the last game. He may not get the same assistance from the pitch here, but considering his form and confidence its advisable to back him.

WHO WILL WIN STA vs SIX TODAY MATCH?

• Both teams have had a similar fate so far in BBL 2022. Both teams have played 3 games so far and have won 1 game and have lost 2 games each.
• In the previous encounter between these sides on 15 December 2021, the Stars scored 177 runs and in response, Sixers attained the target in 19.4 overs with 7 wickets in hand. Josh Philippe had made 99* in that game while Glenn Maxwell’s 103 went in vain.
• In the last 5 games, head to head between these two teams, Sixers have a clear upper hand as they have won all 5 games.
• Although it would be a close game, expect Sixers to win this match as the Stars are deprived some of their key players.
