Aus T20 League 2021

Match 16: SIX vs STR

Preview 

Sixers will lock horns against Strikers in match 16 of the Aus T20 League 2021 at the iconic Sydney Cricket Ground on Tuesday, December 21. With 4 wins in three games, Sixers are placed at the second position in the league standings. Strikers on the other hand are languishing at the middle with 6 points in their kitty. While the Sixers will look to gain all three points and consolidate their position on top, Siddle’s men will be anxious to get a win under their belt and race in the top four. 

Sixers defeated Stars in their previous game. After being asked to bat first, Maxwell’s scintillating century helped his team pile a mammoth score of 177. Chasing 178 for victory, defending champions lost Vince early. Skipper Henriques then joined Josh Phillipe at the crease to stitch an invaluable partnership, pushing the opposition on the back foot. Philippe went on to score an unbeaten 99 to overshadow Maxwell's hundred, guiding the men in pink to a famous victory. Josh Phillipe, James Vince, Moises Henriques are the batters to watch out for. Bowling department has Chris Jordan, Ben Dwardshius, Steve O’Keefe and Ben Maneti who all have chipped in with crucial wickets.  

Strikers on the other hand have had a start stop season so far. They have failed to click as a unit and as a result find themselves reeling at the bottom half. The backbone of the Strikers batting unit, Weatherald is struggling to find his mojo this season. He needs to get some runs to revitalise the batting order. The absence of Alex Carry has also proven to be a big blow for them. Bowling looks jaded and dull. They have the experience of Peter Siddle, craftiness of Rashid Khan and a genuine paceman in the form of Wes Agar but have failed to put up a decent show with ball in hand. Ahead of this enthralling clash, let us have a look at how these two units will fare out in today’s fixture.
