Sydney Thunder vs Sydney Sixers match prediction 38th match

Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder | Bets which will Mint Cash

Sydney Sixers will go head on with their city rivals Sydney Thunder in match number 38 of the Big Bash League 2020-21 season at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Wednesday afternoon.

Two top teams will collide in one heck of an encounter on Wednesday and it will have a lot of importance in this title race. Sydney Sixers will look to extend their lead at the top and, on the other hand, Sydney Thunder would want to replace their rivals at the top of the Big Bash League 2020-21 points table. Sixers have a better form at the moment as they have won two out of their last three games whereas Sydney Thunder have lost two out of their last three matches. We are going to have a winner for sure at the end of this game but it remains to be seen who comes out on top on Wednesday. In the meantime, let's take a look at three of the best team bets from this match to bet on:

Sydney Sixers to win

The defending champions are cruising in a similar fashion like they were in the previous season of the Big Bash League. We are approaching the business end of the tournament and from here on, every single result counts. Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder will collide at the Manuka Oval in Canberra for the first time and I have a feeling that Sixers are going to have the last laugh. I say this because these two sides have met 17 times in the previous seasons of the Big Bash League and the Sixers have won it 11 times. In the last five head-to-head encounters, the Sixers have emerged victorious on three occasions. As I have already mentioned earlier, Sydney Thunder have dropped their run of form recently and Sixers, on the other hand, have picked their pace and have replaced the Thunder at the top of the points table and have taken a two points lead. Sportsbet.io is offering odds of 1.97 for a Sidney Sixers victory and that is a really good opportunity to make almost double your investment.

Sydney Thunder to hit more 6s

This is the battle between the top two teams and one must expect a lot of fireworks without an iota of doubt. Manuka Oval in Canberra has always been that ground which has a history of raining boundaries and therefore it makes all the more sense to put in some cash behind the team who is going to flex the muscles on Wednesday. So, I have a feeling that it is going to be Sydney Thunder who are going to top the charts in hitting sixes against their city rivals. Sydney Thunder have managed to smash 61 sixes so far in this ongoing season of the Big Bash League and, on the other hand, the Sixers have managed only 45 of them. However, in the previous season, the Sixers had their noses ahead but not by much as it was a really narrow margin of 66-62 sixes to Sixers and Thunder respectively. With Alex Hales and Daniel Sams making the most of their muscles (as they hit 26 sixes together so far), Thunder are likely to have the edge over Sixers. Sportsbet.io is offering odds of 1.82 Sydney Thunder to hit more sixes against Sydney Sixers.

Sydney Thunder to hit more 4s

I also have a feeling that the Thunder are going to come out on top in this race for hitting fours as well. I know it sounds a little oxymoronic to the first market but when it comes to making money, I feel one should trust the stats instead of philosophy and luck. So here we go - Sydney Thunder have smashed 141 fours compared to Sydney Sixers' 137 fours. In the previous season of the Big Bash League, Sydney Thunder hit 192 fours compared to 157 hits of Sydney Sixers. However, in the last five head-to-head encounters, Sydney Sixers have had the edge as they clobbered 49 fours and, on the other hand, Sydney Thunder managed to clatter 46 of them. My point here is - the Thunder have not been far and in fact they are ahead in this race of hitting boundaries this season. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 2.02 for Sydney Thunder to hit more boundaries when they take on Sydney Sixers at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Wednesday and that should be the order of the day.
