The Sixers have started their campaign on a high as they won each of their first two games of the season. Firstly, they had an eight-run win over the Melbourne Renegades at home which was followed by a convincing 6-wicket hammering to Hobart Hurricanes in their own backyard.
The likes of Daniel Hughes and Ben Dwarshius have been the stars for the men in pink, However, big names like James Vince, Moises Henriques and Joshua Phillips are yet to deliver any match winning contribution.
Ahead of the game against the Strikers, the Sixers are placed third in the league standings with four points under their belt. They would be eyeing to sustain their unbeaten run, make it three wins in a row and climb up the ladder to the top two of the league standings.
Adelaide Strikers

On the other hand, the Adelaide Strikers are coming into this game on the back of a big win against Sydney Thunders at their home ground, the Adelaide Oval. They took down a huge 200+ target set by the Thunders with six wickets in hand and 2 balls to spare.
Skipper Matthew Short took the stage on fire as he scored an aggressive 41-ball 82 to lay a perfect foundation to Strikers’ win. He was well accompanied by fellow opener D’Arcy Short as the duo stitched an opening partnership of 139 runs. Adam Hose too looked in great touch towards the end.
Unfortunately, Strikers failed to get the maximum points from their first game of the season against Brisbane Heat as the game was abandoned due to relentless rain in Adelaide. They are currently sitting just below the Sixers and will be hoping to get the maximum points from their trip to Sydney.
