Match Timings: Dec 13, 1:45 PM (IST)
The second doubleheader on Sunday will be played between Sydney-S and Melbourne-R. Whilst Sydney-S had a disappointing start to their season, Melbourne-R managed to establish its dominance on the field with a 7-wicket win in the first match of its campaign.
Sydney-S failed to restrict Hobart-H and then to chase down the total put up. On the other hand, Melbourne-R had an amazing game against Perth-S, restricting them to a total of 130 with their efficient bowling & then easily chasing the total with more than 20 balls to spare.
The Sydney-S will be moving up in the game, missing the action of their captain Moises Henriques, which will definitely build up some pressure on James Vince to perform. The pace attack will be led by Ben Dwarshuis while Dan Christian and Carlos Braithwaite will be in-charge of the game-turning batting.
The upcoming match will be a battle of two equals as the Sydney-S are the defending champions & will definitely be looking forward to finding their first win of the season. Meanwhile, Melbourne-R is already high on their previous win & would want to continue their winning run.
