The second game of the Big Bash League 2022 will see a game between Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers. The two sides last met in the Challenger match of the previous edition of the tournament. Both made it to the league stage and advanced further. When they met in the penultimate game of the tournament last season, Sixers emerged victorious and reached the final.
The Sixers finished second the previous season, after losing to the Perth Scorchers in the final. Strikers skipper Travis Head is currently on national duty, so the team will be managed by Chris Lynn. On the other hand, the Sixers will be led by all-rounder Moises Henriques. Both teams did great in the last edition and will have a great start.

Probably the best performers of STR vs SIX
Probable leading hitter: Chris Lynn
Adelaide Strikers’ Chris Lynn has been in good contact with the bat lately. He recently played in the Abu Dhabi T10 League and put in a good performance while representing Team Abu Dhabi. Since he’s been recently exposed to white-ball league games, he’ll be the one to look out for.
Probably the best bowler: Sean Abbott
Sean Abbott’s T20 numbers are amazing. He has 142 wickets from 116 matches. Although his economics rate is on the higher side, he has proven to be successful in crisis situations. He will be able to provide his side with the necessary breakthroughs.
