Sydney Sixers hold the edge over Adelaide Strikers in their Women’s Big Bash League 2025 clash at North Sydney Oval, bolstered by a dominant recent head-to-head record and solid mid-table positioning.
Sydney Sixers Women sit fifth on the points table with 9 matches played, securing 5 wins, 3 losses, and 1 no-result for 11 points, despite a net run rate of -0.365. They recently defeated Melbourne Stars by 16 runs in match 34 and have won their last five encounters against the Strikers, including a 24-run victory earlier this season. Ellyse Perry showcased her class with an unbeaten 77 off 44 balls in a prior North Sydney outing, anchoring chases alongside captain Ashleigh Gardner’s leadership.
Adelaide Strikers Women occupy sixth place with 9 matches, 3 wins, 3 losses, and 3 no-results for 9 points and a +0.097 net run rate, needing a victory to bolster finals hopes after their latest match abandonment against Hobart Hurricanes. Tahlia McGrath leads a squad featuring Laura Wolvaardt’s consistency and Sophie Ecclestone’s spin threat, but inconsistency has plagued their campaign.

North Sydney Oval Pitch Report
The North Sydney Oval pitch offers a balanced contest between bat and ball for the Sydney Sixers Women vs Adelaide Strikers Women match. Batters can expect good bounce and true carry, aiding stroke play, especially in the powerplay overs when fast bowlers get some movement. The surface tends to slow down slightly as the match progresses, making spin bowling a crucial factor in the middle overs. Average first-innings scores range between 160-170, and teams generally prefer batting first to capitalize on the benign conditions early. Bowlers who can maintain tight lines and vary pace are likely to find success here. This pitch will test skills but rewards adaptability.
