The second match of the Big Bash League 2022 will see a contest between Adelaide Strikers and Sydney Sixers. The two sides last met in the Challenger game of the previous edition of the tournament. Both cleared the league stage and moved further. When they met in the tournament’s penultimate game last season, Sixers emerged victorious and made it to the final.
Sixers ended the previous season as runners-up, after losing to Perth Scorchers in the final. Travis Head, the Strikers’ skipper, is currently on national duty and thus the team will be led 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 be eying for a big start.
