Best Bet

The Sixers might have lose their opening game to the Scorchers, but the rain-affected game didn’t help their cause. It’s always easier to chase a total with limited overs, and they did well to score 113 runs despite Babar Azam failing to fire.

It wasn’t the BBL debut everyone expected from Azam, but we expect the classy international to bounce back with a good performance. He’s a key player for the home team, and he’s good enough to see off a good Strikers’ bowling attack.

We fancy the Sixers to be a title threat, and they need to stay in contention in the early stages. A win over the Strikers is needed on Wednesday night, so take the $1.72 odds available for the favourites.

Same Game Multi

We are confident in Azam scoring a big total for the Sixers after being disappointing in the opening game. He is a classy player at his best, and it could have been a case of failing to settle into the new conditions for the Pakistani international.

Moises Henriques is always worth including in Big Bash multi bets. He’s a solid bat for the Sixers, and we fancy him to score 20+ runs, which boosts multi payouts.

Ben Dwarshuis 2+ wickets is a good addition at $2.25 odds. He can tear through any BBL lineup, and the Strikers’ opening batsman could suffer.

Best Value Bet

Punters will make money betting on Azam sooner rather than later, so he’s a player worth including in BBL picks on Wednesday.

He is a stellar T20 player at his best, and although he was knocked over for 2 runs in the opening game, he doesn’t often play two poor innings in a row.

Take the $3.75 odds available, which are likely to shorten for the hyped player.
