I am backing the Sydney Sixers to advance to the final in this BBL clash

  • Sydney Sixers have won 3 of their last 4 matches.
  • Sydney Sixers’ Kurtis Paterson scored 48 runs in his last match.
  • Sydney Sixers have won their last 3 matches against the Sydney Thunder.
  • Sydney Thunder’s David Warner has scored 50, 88* and 22* in 3 of his last 5 matches.

Head to Head


The Sydney Sixers have won their last four matches against the Sydney Thunder. The Sixers won their first encounter against the Thunder this season while their second fixture was rained out just a few days ago.

Sydney Sixers Form


The Sydney Sixers finished the regular season in second place on the table, winning six of their 10 matches, losing two along with two no results. Because they finished second, the Sixers had two chances to make the final.

That second chance is required after the Sixers lost out to the Hobart Hurricanes in the first qualifier. The Hurricanes scored 173 runs batting first, a decent total on a pitch that offered the bowlers something.

Kurtis Patterson scored 48 runs at the top of the order for the Sixers, but they lost the rest of their top four for 0, 0 and 1. Jordan Silk steadied the shit with a well-played 57 runs, but it wasn’t enough as the Sixers reached 161 in their 20 overs.

Josh Philippe’s form is a massive concern at the top of the order. Fortunately, Kurtis Patterson found some form in the last game.

Sydney Thunder Form


Sydney Thunder third place finish meant they have to feature in a knockout game to progress to this qualifier. To add to their worries, despite being at home, the Thunder had to take on a Melbourne Stars side that had won five in a row.

In a rain affected game, the Thunder managed 135 runs in 19 overs. The score certainly wasn’t a winning score, but given the conditions, the Thunder gave themselves a chance. Matthew Gikes, Sam Billings and Oliver Davies all scored 24+ runs to get the Thunder to that total.

The Stars would have certainly fancied their chances to chase that score, but Nathan McAndrew bowled magnificently, taking 5-16 to secure the victory for the Sydney side.

The Thunder could go into this fixture unchanged, however, they will want more runs from their top order.

Verdict

Sydney Sixers are backed to advance to the BBL final with Kurtis Paterson backed to top score. David Warner is a big game player and is tipped to lead the Thunder's charge with bat in hand.
