Sixers vs. Thunder Predictions

We have Sixers vs. Thunder predictions for the Big Bash game, which will be held on Friday, January 16 at 7:15 pm.

The all-Sydney battle is a must-see BBL game this week, where the Sixers could show why they’re firming in title markets.

Best Bet

Sixers @ $1.57

Bet Now

After winning three games in a row, the Sixers are firmly back in title contention, and they could get Mitch Starc in the team.

Starc would be a huge addition to the Sixers’ roster following international duty, but even if he’s not ready for this game, the Sixers have enough depth in all departments to hand the Thunder their fifth loss in their last six games.

The Thunder comes off a much-needed win, but we can’t see them beating the Sixers. Our pre-season BBL title pick was unlucky to come away with a draw in a rained-out match, where they started 31-0. They have steadily climbed the ladder, and although $1.57 is on the shorter side of value, they’re worth including in Big Bash multi bets.

Same Game Multi

Sixers H2H, Steve Smith Over 25.5 Runs, Sam Konstas Under 18.5 Runs, Ben Dwarshuis 2+ Wickets @ $9.75

Bet Now

Steve Smith has shown why he’s one of the best in the game this season. He had 52 runs before scoring 19 not out before the game was postponed last week, and he was looking good for another big total. Over 25.5 runs is a good Big Bash bet.

Sam Konstas has been disappointing for the Thunder. He has only 82 runs from his last five games, which isn’t good enough, and it’s a reason why the Thunder have struggled. Back him to score under 18.5 runs.

Ben Dwarshuis has eight wickets from his last three games, so getting $2.15 for a 2+ wicket performance is good shopping with cricket odds.

Best Value Bet

Ben Dwarshuis Top Bowler @ $7.75

Bet Now

Dwarshuis won top bowler honours when taking four wickets against the Stars, and he allowed only 13 runs from 3.5 overs.

It was a masterful display with the ball, and we thought he would be much shorter in betting markets to be top bowler on Friday night.

Take the value $7.75 odds, as we’re picking him to have at least 2-3 wickets.
