AS vs SS Match Highlights: BBL 2022-23 Sixers Fall Short of Target
With two early wickets lost in the third over and a constant run rate deficit, the Sixers never really got going in their chase. In the end, the necessary pace became much above their capacity because of the dearth of boundaries and the frequent wicket-taking. Silk, Phillippe, and Henriques made their debuts but were unable to carry on. They only managed to get 9 total boundaries and 0 sixes.
Thorton bowled economically and had career-best figures of 4/20. He started off by taking 2 wickets in his first over. In the 19th over, he added two more runs, and he was attempting to add a fifth. With a 3-wicket haul, Rashid Khan, the wicket-taking machine, as usual shook the middle order and did not allow up many runs. Additionally, Siddle and Short bowled sensibly, aiding the squad in defending this total and restricting Sixers on 133. The team won the match by 51 runs.

After losing Weatherald in the first over, the Strikers put on an outstanding hitting display. Following that, Short and Lynn took control of the innings and combined to score 95 runs. In his 84 run innings, Short pounded the ball all over the park, maintaining his outstanding form from the previous year.
Short received an early lbw but recovered after reviewing it. He had help from Lynn (41) and Hose (40), and together they were able to surpass 180, which is a respectable sum in this case. Before being dismissed, Grandhomme smashed a six, and nine extras added to their advantage.
O’Keefe got things going by getting a wicket in the first over, but they were unable to capitalize on it. The partnership was subsequently broken by the debutant’s first wicket, and he finished with two wickets. Despite being quite pricey, Abbott claimed 3 wickets in the final over. Kerr and Dwarshuis cost a lot since they combined to give up 95 runs.
With a lbw on the final ball and Hose reviewing it, the final over produced three wickets. However, three red lights means they will miss the final run. In the end the team scored 184/6.
AS vs SS Match Highlights: BBL 2022-23 Player of The Match, Matthew Short
The Player of the Match award has been given to Matthew Short. What he said was as follows: The key message was to have fun, having given good starts during the last season helped us. It’s nice to get a win on the board early, we wanted to get a good start in the batting PP and that helped us settle later on. He brings massive leadership to the group, not just with the bat, hopeful of spending more time in the middle. It was a complete performance in the end, we were good in all three facets of the game.
AS vs SS Match Highlights: Match Analysis
Significant victory for Adelaide Strikers. The Sydney Sixers’ pursuit never really got going. Thornton made a significant dent by striking twice in his opening over. Timing was a problem for Philippe and Henriques, who both ate up lots of balls. Jordan Silk led the Sixers in scoring with 36 points but the majority of their batters struggled to hit the sweet spot of the bat. The remaining bowlers provided strong support for Rashid and Thornton as they each took one of the seven wickets that fell. Sydney Sixers didn’t get off to the start they would have liked, but they’ll fight back because they were runners-up the last time.
