Sydney Sixers Preview: Sixers step up a gear in recent games
Sydney Sixers have come off the back of a mini-slump having recorded back-to-back victories and only net-run-rate currently keeps them out of the top four. Both wins came by the same margin, 6 runs against both Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars, the latter via DLS.
Sydney Thunder preview: Three straight wins keeps Thunder top
Sydney Thunder have set the pace through most of this tournament so far and remain top of the table as it stands. They’ve won their last three games, all of them through setting an unassailable target batting first. Their latest victory was a 19-run triumph against Brisbane Heat.
Sydney Sixers Betting Analysis
Another Sydney Sixers betting analysis and another chance to rave about Ellyse Perry. It’s now 300 runs across five innings at an average of exactly 100. To boast an average of three figures in a T20 tournament over the course of a decent number of innings is a truly remarkable and underlines why Perry is in the form of her life right now with the bat. Backing her to score over 31.5 match runs here has to be favoured.
Sydney Thunder Betting Analysis
It will be very exciting to see Ellyse Perry potentially meet her match in the form of Sydney Thunder’s Samantha Bates. The 28-year-old slow left-armer is currently averaging three wickets per match for the Thunder, having taken 12 scalps so far across the tournament. Only Alana King of Perth Scorchers has more. With that in mind, backing Bates to claim 3+ wickets via the ‘Bowler Milestones’ market may be worth a stake.
Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder Expert Prediction
Whilst a number of big-name individual players will be on show, it’s hard to shake off the feeling that Sydney Thunder are the better all-round team. Yes, the Sixers boast the biggest difference-maker in Perry, who is capable of winning the game on her own. But if she was to fail, it’s difficult to see them being successful, whereas the Thunder look to have that extra depth among their line-up. Therefore, back the league leaders to claim derby bragging rights and the two points.
