It’s time for another blockbuster showdown as the Adelaide Strikers face off against the Sydney Sixers in Match 35 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 at the Adelaide Oval. With both teams fresh off high-flying wins, this contest promises to be nothing short of a cracker.

Adelaide Strikers Riding High

Adelaide Strikers have had a mix season, but their last game was pure domination. Smashing Brisbane Heat by 56 runs, they looked unstoppable. Captain Matthew Short was in beast mode, hammering a sensational 109 off just 54 balls. Ten boundaries and seven sixes rained down as he sent the Brisbane bowlers on a leather hunt. His opening partner, Chris Lynn, didn’t hold back either, smashing a fiery 47 off 20 balls. Alex Ross came in late but lit it up with a blazing 44 off 19 balls, propelling the Strikers to a mammoth 251/5 in 20 overs.

If that wasn’t enough, D’Arcy Short turned up with the ball, grabbing an incredible 4/15 in just three overs. Liam Haskett and Lloyd Pope chipped in with two wickets apiece, ensuring Brisbane never got close to the target. Riding high on confidence, the Strikers will aim to carry this momentum forward and secure another win in front of their home crowd.

Sydney Sixers Look Unstoppable

On the other hand, Sydney Sixers are flying high this season with five wins in eight games. Their last match against Perth Scorchers was a run-fest, thanks to the brilliance of Steve Smith. The star batter was at his vintage best, smashing a brilliant 121 off 64 balls. Ten fours, seven sixes: it was a masterclass. Captain Moises Henriques chipped in with a solid 46 off 28 balls, and Ben Dwarshuis added the finishing touch with a quick-fire 23 off 7 balls, taking the Sixers to a commanding 220/3.

With the ball, Sean Abbott turned the game in their favour with his four-wicket haul, bagging 4/43 in his full quota. Dwarshuis, Kerr, and Henriques picked up a wicket each, restricting Perth to 206/7 and sealing a 14-run victory. Sydney Sixers are in fine form and will be eager to keep the winning streak alive.
