Sydney Sixers will be Adelaide Strikers in the Challenger of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021-22 on Wednesday (January 26) with a winners assured of a berth in the final against the Perth Scorchers. Sydney Sixers lost to the Scorchers by 48 runs in their Qualifier. The odds are in the Sixers’ favour as they have a 4-1 win-loss record against the Strikers in their last 5 encounter.
The Strikers, on the other hand, deserve credit for their performances in the playoffs. They defeated Hobart Hurricanes in the Eliminator by 22 runs and then claimed a sensational win over Sydney Thunder by 6 runs in the Knockout to enter the Challenger. There is a concern over Ashes hero Travis Head’s form though, as he has made 3 and 5 in the last 2 matches.
