Sydney Sixers:
Sydney Sixers have been champions in two consecutive seasons and would be willing to make a hat-trick by winning again this time.
The batting all-rounder Moises Henriques will be leading the team and has appeared to be confident in winning the first match. Josh Philippe and James Vince are likely to open the innings for the Sixers, and Daniel Hughes might bat at No.3. and skipper Henriques and Jordan Silk will handle the middle-order.
Dan Christian will play the finisher’s role, and Steve O’Keefe and Ben Manenti are spinners of the team. Chris Jordan, Tom Curran, and M Edwards will form the pace trio and be lethal against any opposition.
Sydney Sixers have a balanced team, and they would be hoping to kick off the tournament with a win.
Melbourne Stars:
Melbourne Stars are yet to win a title in the Big Bash League. They finished as runner-up twice in ten seasons but couldn’t win the trophy.
The power hitter and batting all-rounder, Glenn Maxwell, is Melbourne Stars’ skipper. Joe Clarke and Marcus Stoinis would be opening the innings for the team, and the skipper Maxwell might play at the No.3 or 4 position. The middle-order comprises good players like Hilton Cartwright, Beau Webster.
The bowling unit consists of the star spin bowler Adam Zampa who can pick up wickets consistently. Sam Rainbird, B Couch and Sam Elliot will be fast bowlers.
Stars performed poorly in the last season, but they would want to forget that and focus on winning their maiden trophy this season.
