SDS vs SDT Dream11 Team Prediction of BBL: Preview | Moises Henriques will have to pass the fitness test

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder match. We are covering SDS vs SDT Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the Big Bash League 2018-19 match. The match is to be played at Sydney Showground Stadium.

Sydney Sixers won their first match against Perth Scorchers by 17 runs. Batting first, D Hughes and J Silk built a match-winning partnership in middle order after top-order failed scoring 62 and 67* respectively to give a target of 165 to Scorchers. Steve O’Keefe and Sean Abbott were impressive with the ball taking three wickets each to provide early momentum to their team. They will hope to put a similar performance against their Inter-city rival.

Sydney Thunder also defeated Melbourne Stars in their first match. Batting first, Youngster Jason Sangha played a fine knock of 63* runs in just 36 balls. A late cameo by Daniel Sams led them to a total of 181. Due to disturbance by rain, Stars had to chase 90 runs in 8 overs but a three-wicket haul from Daniel Sams ensured a 15-run win for the Thunder. They will hope to continue the momentum ahead and defeat Sixers team.

A good match can be expected between both teams.
