Sydney Sixers had a disappointing start to their season as they lost their first match against Perth Scorchers by five wickets. The rain-shortened game was reduced to 11 overs, where Sixers managed to score only 113 runs while batting first. Their bowlers tried hard, but Perth chased the target comfortably. Playing at home, the Sixers will be eager to correct their mistakes and put up a strong performance.

Adelaide Strikers, on the other hand, will be playing their first match of the season. Led by Matthew Short, the Strikers have a balanced squad that includes explosive batters and quality bowlers. They will aim to start the tournament on a winning note and challenge the Sixers at their home ground.
