AUS T20 League 2023-2024

Match 11: SIX vs STR

Preview

The Sydney Sixers (SIX) and Adelaide Strikers will be at loggerheads in match 11 of the Australian T20 League 2023-2024 on December 21, Friday at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney. 

SIX have started the tournament on a positive note. They have won both of their matches so far. While their campaign began with an eight run win against the Melbourne Renegades (REN), they went on to win their second game against the Hobart Hurricanes (HUR) by six wickets. Players like Ben Dwarshius and Daniel Hughes starred in the two wins so far. They will now be hoping for their other senior players like James Vince, Joshua Phillipe and Moises Henriques to come good in this encounter. 

STR, like their opponent, have started well. They won the one completed match, while their other game was called off due to rain. In their last game against the Sydney Thunder (THU), STR hunted down a mammoth total of 200 with a couple of balls to spare. Matt Short laid the foundation for the daunting chase with a quickfire 41 ball 82 at the top of the order. D’arcy Short and Adam Hose chipped in with crucial contributions to get STR over the line. The team will once again be banking on Hose and Short to deliver the goods with bat in hand. In the bowling department, STR possess the likes of Jamie Overton and David Payne. Ahead of this mouthwatering encounter, let us have a look at how the two teams will fare out in Friday’s clash.
