Pitch Report

A decent batting track beckons at the SCG with movement available off the surface for the bowlers. The pacers should get the ball to swing around in the early stages, keeping their batters on their toes. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play as well. Both teams will look to chase under the lights, with 165-170 being a good total at the venue.


Today’s SIX vs STA Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Joe Clarke: Joe Clarke is all set to make his BBL debut for the Stars and comes into the tournament on the back of high expectations. The Englishman is capable of scoring quick runs at the top of the order and should be a good addition alongside Josh Philippe in your SIX vs STA Dream11 fantasy team.

Batter

James Vince: James Vince was one of the star performers for the Sixers with over 500 runs to his name in the previous season. The Sixers batter was pivotal in the playoffs last time around and will be keen to replicate the same form this season as well. Vince should be a fine addition to your SIX vs STA Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Glenn Maxwell: Glenn Maxwell has had a brilliant year, especially in the IPL, scoring quick runs in the middle overs. In addition to being an enforcer with the bat in the middle overs, the Australian all-rounder should come in handy with his off-spin too, making him one to watch out for in this game.

Bowler

Adam Zampa: Adam Zampa was one of the stars of the show for Australia in their ICC T20 World Cup winning campaign. The leg-spinner's wicket-taking ability is second to none within the Stars line-up and should come in handy in this much-awaited game in Sydney.
