Sydney Sixers vs Adelaide Strikers match prediction
Sydney Sixers will square off against Adelaide Strikers in match number 23 of the Big Bash League 2019-2020 edition at the International Sports Stadium in Coffs Harbour on Sunday. Two of the best teams in the tournament will clash in an all-important fixture on Sunday and the adrenaline rush cannot be subdued. Sixers are placed second in the ladder, tied on points with the toppers Melbourne Stars and on the other hand, Strikers are placed third in the table with just a point behind their Sunday’s opponent. These are the games that I look up to because these fixtures end up being nerve-wrecking ones. However, there’s a positive side to it as well – these are the matches where you can make quite a lot of money and I am sure you wouldn’t mind some cash on a lazy Sunday sitting on your couch! I am here to help you do the same as all you have got to do is follow the market suggestions on which you will place your bets. So, let’s get going, shall we?
Sean Abbott is the second highest wicket taker in the league
This fast bowler from New South Wales has hit the deck hard and bent his back to put in that extra effort and pick up 11 wickets in five matches at an average of 13.45 and has struck at a rate of 10.9. He is the highest wicket taker for Sydney Sixers in the ongoing season and has been simply outstanding with the ball. In the previous season of the Big Bash League, he had the second-highest number of scalps with 22 wickets in 15 matches. It looks like he has only emulated his previous season’s form and surely is hungry for more. Abbott’s figures in the tournament so far - 2/28, 3/30, 2/42, 3/20 and 1/28, speak volumes of his performance and also portrays how good he is in picking up wickets at crucial junctures of the games. Abbott loves playing against Strikers as in head to head encounters, he has the most number of wickets than any other bowler (12) with best figures of 5/16. William Hill is offering odds of 3.75 for Abbott to be the top team bowler for Sixers on Sunday when they take the field against Strikers. My suggestion – you ideally should be grabbing this opportunity with both hands.
Alex Carey is the highest run getter for Adelaide Strikers
How well Alex Carey has climbed up the ranks in the shorter formats of the game both in the domestic T20 leagues and for the Australian national cricket team! With 205 runs in five matches (average of 41.00) under his belt, he is the highest run getter for Adelaide Strikers in this ongoing season of the Big Bash League and he is also the third highest run scorer overall. In the previous season, he managed to score 329 runs in 12 matches and prior to this season, Carey featured in Vitality Blast for Sussex where he piled up 284 runs in 8 innings as well. His scores so far – 19, 41, 45, 55 and 45, shows his competency and consistency with the bat for Strikers and a lot will depend on Carey if Strikers want to go all the way to the final and clinch the big prize. VBet is offering odds of 4.33 for the wicket-keeper batsman, who has been in very good form and trust me when I say this, Carey has an average of 44.00 when he plays against Sixers. Therefore, you know by now what you have got to do.
Carey averages 44.00 against Sixers
If Carey averages 44.00 against Sydney Sixers, you will be surprised to know, the second highest run scorer for Strikers, Jake Weatherald, does not even feature in the top 15 of that list! Unbelievable, right? Both Carey and Weatherald have scored runs for Strikers but the former has looked far more convincing and consistent than the latter. You are already aware of Carey’s scores in this tournament, now it is time for you to tell you about Weatherald’s numbers – 52, 6, 21, 83, 42! You see that touch of inconsistency in there that can cloud the judgement of punters and writers like me? Therefore, if we go by the average and the numbers that I just mentioned, it is highly likely that Carey is going to get ahead of Weatherald on Sunday when they take the field against the Sixers. Bet 365 is offering odds of 1.90 for this market and here is a chance for you to almost double up your investment.
