The 1st Semi Final between Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers happens today. This match happens at the home ground of Strikers. Strikers topped the table and are favorites with the bookmakers against the 4th placed Sixers.
There are many factors for going with Strikers. All are very evident. Add one more; Moises Henriques is in international duty for Sixers. An all-rounder who provides stability in the middle order and useful 2-3 overs of medium pace with the average below 6.5 this series. He is also the captain of Sixers.
The problem with Sixers is that they need their top order to fire. When it doesn't happen they leave too much to the middle order (Especially to Jordan Silk). If Silk hasn't played a stunner they would have surely lost to a lowly Thunder in the final league match. But their top order is thoroughly out of form in the last 4 matches.
These two teams have met once. Strikers defended 182 against the Sixers. In that match also Silk scored 34 ball 67 to give a respectable total for sixers. From 110/8 they managed 159 in the chase.
4 matches have happened in Adelaide. Strikers have chased in 3 and won all those 3. The highest total they have given away here is 148. In the other match they batted first it got washed out because of rain. So its a tricky pitch that supports run scoring only for Strikers.
Silk and Carters are getting dismissed for other dismissal methods (Not Caught) quite frequently. I'm expecting them to break the pattern and to get out caught this match. Especially I'm targeting Silk because throughout this series Silk was either Not-Out or he was out Bowled, LBW or Run-Out. That makes 8 in a row. I'm very confident that this time he should get out caught.
