Dwarshuis has picked up 12 wickets against Stars

Big occasions call for big-name players and who better in the Sixers’ magenta outfit than the left-arm seamer Ben Dwarshuis. The ‘Moustache’ man has the knack of picking crucial wickets and against a star-studded team like the Stars, Moises Henriques will hope that his ‘go-to-man’ can pick wickets. In the eight games that he has played against the Stars, the left-arm seamer is the leading wicket-taker against the Melbourne franchise, with 12 wickets and two three+ wickets. 🥂H2H against Stars, he has picked up 7 wickets, including a 2/20 in the last encounter. In the last five games, he has played, only Tom Curran has more wickets than the left-hander, nine wickets to five. However, given that Curran misses out from this encounter, the onus would be on the left-hander to be amongst the wickets. This season, Dwarshuis has picked up 15 wickets meaning that he is the go-to person for the Sixers on Friday.

Low scores at MCG

Crunch game for both sides, for the T20 competition in Australia and more importantly for the batsmen at a long MCG. With both sides home to some of the top batsmen in Australian cricket, in some excellent form, 306 looks like a paltry total that could be broken again. However, there is the catch, despite cumulative average between the sides being at 308, that🌠 it has been boosted thanks to their previous encounter here at MCG. Cumulatively, the two sides have scored 394 in their last encounter, with 150 coming off Marcus Stoinis’ willow. Apart from that, the two sides have put up aver▨age numbers at the ground, 279.5 every game at MCG. With the bet being the score to be under 306, it sure looks like a winning bet, doesn’t it? Hold your horses, we got more in the house. Keeping the game against Sixers away, 288 runs at an average has been scored by sides in a game.

Josh Philippe has scored five sixes in the last two games

Josh Philippe, Sixers and the lot need a win against the Stars who can decimate opponents on their day. However, there is a ploy, the same ploy that got the magenta side to the qualifiers against the Green and gold of Stars. One person, crucial to their chanc🤡e is none other than opener Josh Philippe, an able stroke-player, clearer of boundaries. The talented wicket-keeping batsman has managed to clear the ropes 13 times in this season. Coming into the back-end of the tournament, Philippe’s form was a tad under-par before the arrival of Steve Smith. However, since Smith’s arrival, he’s scored a 52 and followed it with a 61 in two of the best knocks this tournament. Coming back to the bet, he’s scored a total of 4 sixes in the two games, ever since the arrival of Smith. Further, in his career, the batsman has scored 0.6 six every game, which is more than 0.5 for the bet. The Sixers would want their opener to showcase his attacking talent against the Stars.
