THE PREDICTION
The Sydney derby is always a special occasion and being played on Boxing Day makes it more so. Sydney Thunder are no doubt capable of toppling Sydney Sixers on their day, especially when taking into account the firepower provided from overseas batters Alex Hales and Sam Billings respectively. However, the Thunder are an inconsistent side and are just as likely to collectively wilt against a very strong opponent in the Sixers, who in contrast are the epitome of consistency. However, the likelihood is that this contest may well find itself disrupted by the weather, with rain forecast throughout the scheduled hours of play at present. Whilst the in-form Sydney Sixers would be worth backing should the prospects of play become brighter, the smart play would be to wait right up until the scheduled start time to assess the weather conditions before making any moves.
