SIX vs STR Dream11 Prediction: Defending champions Sydney Sixers will take on an enraged Adelaide Strikers in the Challenger of BBL 11 – the winner of which will straightaway reach the Final to compete alongside the Perth Scorchers. In the Qualifier staged at the Docklands, the Sixers suffered a massive defeat at the hands of the Scorchers and would be raring to get back to the Final to get another shot at the title. The Strikers, who enjoy a win and a loss each against the Sixers in BBL 11, have been a force to reckon with in the business end of the tournament. The Knockout against the Sydney Thunder witnessed the Peter Siddle-led side lock a six-run triumph to thrust their way to the Challenger. Since it’s the penultimate contest of the five-match BBL 11 Finals, the fans could surely anticipate a crackling exhibition from the teams concerned at SCG.

Alex Carey Stats in T20
The opening batter has looked in a great nick in the last two matches, which includes 67 against the Hobart Hurricanes in the Eliminator. He has to have a great outing with the willow for the Strikers to set the foundation for a competitive total.
Matches | Runs | Strike Rate |
102 | 2228 | 127.53 |
Peter Siddle Stats in T20
The pacer’s performance with the ball could be the defining moment for the Strikers in the Knockout. He’s the leading wicket-taker in the ongoing season (29) and could grab a few more against the Sixers.
Matches | Wickets | Economy |
89 | 107 | 7.53 |
Though it’s being tipped as a nail-biting encounter, the Sydney Sixers are likely to emerge as the winning side for the depth in their batting and bowling line-up and their lethality, contrary to the Strikers, who have been heavily reliant on a few players in Matthew Short, Jonathan Wells and Peter Siddle to name a few. As per SIX vs STR today match prediction & Sydney Sixers vs Adelaide Strikers cricket betting tips, Sixers are tipped as slight favorites to win the match.
