The visitors look like solid value here as underdogs.

The reigning Big Bash champions have a strong recent record against the Sixers when priced as outsiders, winning six of their last seven matchups in that position. They’ve also won four of their last five games overall as underdogs.

The Cane Train remains firmly on track in its title defence, sitting at 6–2 with 15 wins from its last 18 matches. They’ve consistently looked a level above most of the competition.

The Sixers are always competitive but will need to reverse a poor recent run at the SCG, where they’ve lost three straight matches.

Steve Smith returns from national duty for this clash and looms as a key factor. His Big Bash record is unparalleled, and he shapes as one of the strongest individual betting options on the board.

The Hurricanes will also be boosted by the return of all-rounder Beau Webster, who replaces Nathan Ellis as the quick is managed.

Hobart look like the play at the price, although Smith may be the standout angle for punters in this matchup.

If Steve Smith is playing Big Bash cricket, he’s worth backing. The champion batter has scored five fifties in his last eight BBL innings, including three centuries, and remains a clear class above this level. He also appeals as a top Sixers bat or century play.
