Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Sixers match prediction
Adelaide Strikers will lock horns with Sydney Strikers in match 27 of the 2019-20 Big Bash League at the Adelaide Oval, this Wednesday evening. Temperatures are set to rise when second-placed Sydney Sixers will cross paths with third-placed Adelaide Strikers this Wednesday evening. There’s everything at stake for the upcoming fixture, but what do we have on offer? Believe me, we have a lot. Scrolling down the betting markets, I have realised how much there’s to be won from the midweek fixtures. You do not worry, because I have already scrutinised and sorted everything for you. Below are the best three bets from the market which is going to make you wealthier by the end of Wednesday, just give a read.
Lyod Pope was the pick of the bowlers in the last three matches
Well, well, do you think this one is a risky bet? It apparently looks like, but I can change your perception in just a couple of minutes, just read along. Llyod Pope was Sixers’ top bowler in each of their last five matches with figures of 2/41, 2/22 and 3/23. In the last match he played against the Strikers, he scalped a couple of wickets to emerge as a pick of the lot. In 6 matches, the leggie has taken 8 wickets at an average of 17.75, but these are not the only reasons why you should back him up. Incidentally, Sean Abbott is the highest wicket taker for the Sixers this season with 11 wickets to his name from just 5 matches, but his injury has ruled him out of the last 2 matches. Tom Curran, also ahead of Pope in terms of wickets taken, has been struggling in the past five matches. His figures – 0/40, 1/58, 2/23, 1/27, 0/52 which is pretty ordinary as per his standards. The stage is set for Llyod Pope to weave a spin web for the Strikers once again, emerge as the top bowlers and help us win some money by the end of the day.
Jake Witherland had hit 10 sixes in the last five matches
Let me ease your nerves and establish my point for this full-proof bet, this involves less risk than the previous one, so take a deep breath. Jake Weatherald has been a stalwart for the Strikers in the past and his big hitting abilities are hard to ignore. In the past five matches, he has hit a total of 10 sixes (2 per match), also credited for being the 5th highest six hitter this season. The southpaw is no alien to the Adelaide Oval and has been successful in exploiting the conditions, having struck 7 sixes in the last three matches at the venue (2.33 sixes per innings). Either way, we can expect him to hit at least one maximum in the upcoming match. But, why should you trust me if I do not convince you enough? To inform you, in the last two H2H matches played at the venue, Weatherald has cleared the ropes 3 times (1.5 per innings), which supports our case going. To sum it up, he has hit a total of 45 maximums in 39 T20s he played so far. By now, you have placed the bet I guess, because this bet surely points to one direction.
Josh Phillipe averages 51.20 this season
Yes, I get it, the bet might swing it either direction, but hold on!
Looking at the recent form, Josh Phillipe has scored 151 runs in the last five matches at an average of 30.2, compared to Hughes’ 144 (28.8 on average). Even though Hughes has outscored Phillipe in three of the above-mentioned matches, I am not convinced to give him a heads up. Why? Let’s see. In this season, Phillipe has piled up 256 runs at an average of 51.20, incidentally being the second-highest run-scorer overall. On the flip side, Daniel Hughes has racked up 168 runs at a rate of 24 runs per innings. As evident, the opener has a 26-run cushion, underlining who’s the better of the two. In the last match, which was against the Strikers, Phillipe scored an outstanding 83-run knock while Hughes managed to score just 24. The former has played three H2H matches, scoring 117 (39 on average) runs while the other, having played five matches, amassed 119 (23.8 on an average) runs. Don’t bother to give a second though, just go for this bet.
