BBL 2023/24 Match 11 SIX vs STR Dream11 Prediction Fantasy Cricket Tips Possible 11 Pitch Report | SIX vs STR Dream11 Prediction Today | SCG Pitch Report
Sydney Sixers will take on Adelaide Strikers in match 11 of the BBL 2023/24 season. The Sixers have started yet another campaign in strong fashion, winning both their matches in a mix of professionalism and teamwork to get the job done. That was on show as Daniel Hughes stepped up as Steve Smith’s replacement in Hobart after the latter went on Test duty.
For the Strikers, they’ll be confident heading into this clash on the back of chasing over 200 earlier this week against the Sydney Thunder. The opening combination consisting of the two Short’s fired right away, while Adam Hose packs plenty of punch in the middle order. But, the big question is whether the Strikers attack can keep the Sixers quiet.
