SIX vs STR Dream11 Prediction
Can Strikers beat Sixers at SCG in the important SIX vs STR BBL game?
The Sixers have to be considered as favourites for this one. They are defending champions, who sit comfortably at the top of the pile right now and won their last game convincingly against the Melbourne Stars. The Strikers have had a longish break to mentally overcome their struggles and defeat to Perth Scorchers in their last game. But facing the Sixers at SCG maybe just prove a touch too difficult for them right now.
SIX vs STR Dream11 Captaincy Picks
1. Josh Philippe (9.5 credits) – Philippe has been absolutely brilliant with the bat for Sixers. The young wicketkeeper-batter is sitting comfortably at the top of the run-charts for his team, having made 259 runs from his 4 games with a strike-rate of 156.96. Philippe made a terrific 99* in his team’s win in the last game.
2. Moises Henriques (9 credits) – experienced allrounder Henriques is only second to Philippe ins terms of run-scoring for Sixers. Henriques has so far struck 204 runs in BBL 2021-22 while carrying a strike-rate of 155.72, including two fifties.
3. Rashid Khan (9.5 credits) – Rashid hasn’t had the best of BBL so far. The skiddy wristspinner has taken 3 wickets in his three outings but with an economy rate of 7.25. The Afghan king is usually less expensive than that. However, Rashid is still a very good captaincy pick considering he is capable of any time switching on the gears and running through the opposition as he has done previously in BBL.
SIX vs STR Dream11 Budget Picks
1. Steve O’Keefe (8.5 credits) – left-arm spinner O’Keefe has been a four-over bank for the Sixers. He was their top wicket-taker last summer and has continued in his rich vein for BBL 2021-22, too. O’Keefe has taken 6 wickets in his four outings so far with an economy rate of just 6.
2. Daniel Worrall (8.5 credits) – Worrall is currently Strikers’ top wicket-taker of the BBL 2021-22. The right-arm quick has picked up 4 wickets from his 3 games at an economy rate of 6.17.
3. Hayden Kerr (8 credits) – left-arm pacer Kerr has been brilliant for the Sixers. He has taken 5 wickets from his four games of BBL 2021-22 so far while conceding only seven runs an over.
