Preview
The 2022-23 season of the Big Bash League is up and running. While Melbourne Stars and Sydney Thunders took on each other in the opening fixture, it will be Sydney Sixers vs Adelaide Strikers in the second match. Sydney Sixers are the defending champions and will start as favourites. But Adelaide Strikers have quality players like Chris Lynn, Rashid Khan, and Travis Head, who is leading the team. It will be an interesting clash with both teams going full throttle.
Pitch Report
The Adelaide pitch is suited for batters with the ball coming onto the bat nicely. However, spinners will have something to work with bigger boundaries, pacers can try different variations to outfox batters.
