The 27th match of Australia T20 league on Wednesday will see Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers locking horns with each other in a fascinating match at the Adelaide Oval. The day match will begin at 10:10 AM IST. Adelaide Strikers are currently sitting at the third spot with three wins in six matches. On the other hand, Sydney Sixers are sitting one place above them in the standings with ten points. Both teams are facing each other for the second time in this season. Strikers lost by 7 wickets to Sixers last time out.
After winning three consecutive matches, Strikers’ fantastic campaign hit a roadblock as they lost two back to back matches. The Strikers are currently third on the table with seven points from five matches. They would be eager to get back to their winning ways and will look to bounce back here against the Sixers who sit one place above them in the standings.
Sydney Sixers, at the same time, are having a great run in this tournament so far. They are coming off three consecutive wins in the Australia T20 League and are sitting comfortably in second place with five wins out of their seven matches. The Henriques-led side has many match winners who are performing really well. Tom Curran has been fantastic for the team both with the bat and ball and he will again be the key against the Strikers.
