Both teams come into play in poor shape on Tuesday, but Matt Harris expects the Sydney Sixers to be the likely Take advantage of the elimination of the stars.
« Finding the right balance between the Sixers’ attacks has been a problem since Jason Holder’s early departure. »
In the final group game of BBL 10, the favorites before the tournament, Melbourne Stars, face defending champions Sydney Sixers. Glenn Maxwell’s stars started bright enough with two straight wins, but bad form lately means the franchise may be eliminated if the skippers meet for the bat flip.
Those bad results include two direct ones Loses to Perth Scorchers and city rivals Renegades. The only positive thing about these defeats was Nick Larkin, who scored 61 and 70 points, but Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis and the rest of the top flight did little to provide support. In the bowling department, the skipper was probably too creative – he used up to eight bowlers at times.
The Sydney Sixers were the first team to make the playoffs, but Daniel Hughes’ team has given the Scorchers first place since then. They lost that place at the top of the table twice in a row, and the bowlers suffered from Alex Hales last time around. Finding the right balance between attacks has been a problem since Jason Holder’s early departure and Hales’ 110 Sydney Thunder made the highest team ever in the Big Bash.
Batting has Philippe few at the top in explosive form Worries as Hughes and Dan Christian helped their side across the line at close intervals. If the Sixers are to win on Tuesday and succeed in the next stage, bowling is key. Lloyd Pope could be the latest victim if his promising leg spin is viewed as a luxury in this format.
The stars may be more comfortable in the familiar surroundings of the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and Maxwell’s men have two of their three games at the venue won. The Sixers traveled here to face Hobart on Sunday, and the Hurricanes’ win in seven runs was more comfortable than the lead suggests.
In the four BBL 10 games played at the MCG so far, that was average score for first innings at 175. Only one of those games was on the chase, but rain is forecast for Tuesday so it might be a day to insert. depending on the weather and the potential for Duckworth Lewis.
Neither team is in good shape on Tuesday, but it is the Sydney Sixers who lead the bets at 1.8810 / 11 for the win. Melbourne Stars follow with 2.021 / 1 and that reflects their respective positions in the standings.
Much could depend on whether the Stars have a chance of making the top 5 when this game finally hits. If it is a must for Maxwell’s men, they will clearly be more focused and the desire for the points will be greater. Unfortunately for the outsider, I cannot see an equation in which all other outcomes go their way. I suspect the stars will be eliminated before the bat flip and that should hand the game over to the Sydney Sixers.
James Vince of Sydney has produced some of the cameo innings that have marked his career internationally. The opener is full of attractive textbook stick games and doesn’t always convert and produce the seriously high scores.
Vince’s 38 of 23 balls with seven limits against thunder was a case in point, but he’s good to go and I’m expecting one of his big ones Posts on Tuesday. With 3/1 as the Sixers’ top scorer, there is value potential in a market where Josh Philippe starts with 9/4 as a favorite. Other options include Daniel Hughes (4/1), Moises Henriques (4/1) and Jordan Silk (11/2).
While Nick Larkin has impressed in the middle order, the stars haven’t helped their cause by they put Hilton Cartwright in eighth place. His 23 out of 13 balls in a loss to Perth underscores the mistake and the former Australia international should play a bigger role against the Sixers.
Cartwright is an option for anyone looking for a third tip. His place in the order is crucial to his chances of conversion, but the all-rounder is clearly wasted in eighth place.
