Sydney Sixers have won seven of their nine matches in the tournament, and one more win can definitely seal their place in the playoffs. With the arrival of Steve Smith and Nathan Lyon, this team has certainly got stronger. The Sixers are one of the most stable teams in the tournament, and they would want to continue.
Adelaide Strikers have won five of their 11 games in the tournament, and this is an important game for them. Chris Lynn will not take any further part in the tournament, and he will be a very big miss. Travis Head and Alex Carey are available for the rest of the season, and they will play a huge part.

The boundaries at this stadium are not that huge, and the batters can clear them easily here.
