SYD vs SYT Match Prediction - Jan 15, 2022

Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder are both having an excellent Big Bash season. At the time of the writing, Sydney Sixers sit in third place with seven wins from eleven matches while Sydney Thunder has eight wins from twelve matches. The BBL format is such that every position has a certain advantage and so these two teams will be giving everything to try and secure that second place.

The cricket betting sites have given very similar odds to both teams and it looks like Sydney Sixers are the slight favorites on all of them.

Match prediction and cricket betting tips for Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder BBL 2021-22. The match is going to be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney on the 15th of January 2022.

SYD vs SYT Team Previews

Sydney Sixers

Sydney Sixers have lost just three matches in BBL 2021-22 and two of them were against the Perth Scorchers in the last few days. For the most part, the Sydney Sixers have been the team to beat this season and that has been down to an incredible amount of depth in its squad. The batting is led by Josh Philippe and Moises Henriques. It seems that both of them have just dropped a bit in form after their fantastic start but you don't want to count any of them out just yet.

Daniel Hughes, Jack Edwards, and Dan Christian give the Sydney Sixers plenty of batting firepower. The addition of Shadab Khan to the lineup should help lengthen the batting a bit as well.

The bowling attack of the Sydney Sixers is sensational. Hayden Kerr is having a breakthrough year, Sean Abbott is always amongst the wickets, and Ben Dawrshius picked up five wickets in the previous match. You still have Shadab Khan, Jackson Bird, and Dan Christian to call upon as needed.

Sydney Thunder

Sydney Thunder is a team that you do not want to take lightly at all. It matches up very well against the Sydney Sixers and could certainly end up on the winning side. Just like the Sydney Sixers, Sydney Thunder has a very strong bowling attack as well. Mohammad Hasnain, Daniel Sams, Gurinder Sandhu, and Nathan McAndrew format pace bowling unit as good as any in BBL 2021-22.

The batting lineup has been affected by the absence of Sam Billings but Alex Hales seems to have top gear and that is a great sign for Thunder moving forward. Matthew Gilkes and Jason Sangha are the only two other 'genuine' batsmen in the side and so the pressure is going to be on them to perform in every match.

While Oliver Davies, Ben Cutting, and Daniel Sams can all bat very well, neither of them is the most dependable or risk-averse.

SYD vs SYT Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is going to want to bat first. We don't think it should be seen as a huge advantage, though. There have been four matches played at the SCG in BBL 2021-22 and two matches each have been won by teams batting first or chasing.

Pitch and Conditions

The weather forecast is not good for match day. There is a lot of rain forecast in Sydney and we could have a truncated match or even a complete washout. The pitch at the SCG is always good for batting but we may not get to see too much of that in this match. A score of around 150-160 seems to be par for the venue. One thing to keep in mind is that a shorter match is going to swing things in favor of Sydney Thunder with its strong six-hitting lineup.

SYD vs SYT Betting Tips

This is a close contest between two teams that have been playing good cricket and are quite evenly matched in terms of their strengths. Still, we think Sydney Thunder has the advantage when it comes to batting firepower, more specifically six-hitting abilities, and that could end up being the difference between the two teams in a rain-affected match.
