SYDNEY SIXERS Vs LIONS,GROUP B,CLT20Start Time: 11:30 hrs18th of October,12

OVERALL PICTURE

After defeating both the IPL teams of their group,Lions will head towards their next fight against the Big Bash League Champions,Sydney Sixers. But this match may crush the high hopes and spirits of Lions as Sixers have been well known for their destructive line up and deadly bowling.The venue is the same where Sixers restricted Yorkshire on 96 two days ago and chased it down in 9 overs.So,they will be entering into this match as favourites.

Lions will again rely on the top four batsmen to give them a solid start and some good hittings from Morris and Symes could lead them to a high score. Phangiso will again be a key bowler in the Match as he could trouble Watson and Haddin with his spin. Morris will share the responsibility along with Tanvir and Nannes to extract some bounce from the pitch and some uneven bounce may give them few wickets.

Sixers have been going very well so far. Starc has been providing them with early wickets and proves to be a difficult bowler to hit in the dead overs. The bouncy surface of Cape Town will be helpful for Cummins, Hazzlewood and Watson. They have hard hitters in the form of Haddin and Watson at the top as well as Smith and Henriques down the order. They just have to maintain the balance to come with the victory in match.

Sixers: Watson 

Lions: De Kock

The playing eleven is expected to be the same as the previous match.

The pitch will offer some bounce and looked to be at dry pitch in the last match. Winning the toss and bowling could be an advantage. There will be more help to the batsmen from the pitch.

I will pick the favorites, Sydney Sixers because of the batting depth and the T20 bowling experiences. But in T20 match, you never know.

Trust me, you would not want to miss this match as it will be the last outing of Watson in CL T20 this year.

So go for the total entertainment
