THE LOWDOWN
SYDNEY SIXERS
- Sydney Sixers have been in the news for all the wrong reasons this past week following Tom Curran’s suspension and the England overseas player won’t feature for them again in this match.
- Despite this, the Sixers have continued to find a way to win, most recent beating Adelaide Strikers by one run in an absolute thriller that extends their 100% start to this season’s BBL to three matches on the bounce.
MELBOURNE STARS
- In what is the complete reverse of Sydney Sixers, Melbourne Stars’ 2023-24 BBL record so far stands at 0% after losing three from three so far in the tournament, already leaving them three points adrift of the top four.
- Their latest defeat came at the hands of Sydney Thunder, who overcame them by five wickets in Albury after the Stars were bowled out for just 172.
THE PREDICTION
It would be a huge shock if the Stars were to pull off an upset here at the SCG. Sydney Sixers are a team with significant depth down the order and even without Curran, maintain a high level of steel that makes them so difficult to play against. Expect the Sixers to dominate throughout on their own ground against poor opposition who have struggled all tournament long so far and back a home victory on Boxing Day.
BETTING TIP: SYDNEY SIXERS TO WIN
