The second semifinal of the Big Bash League 2013-14 take place at Sydney between the Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers. Sydney Sixers are second on the points table while Perth Scorchers are at number three.

Big Bash league promises to be giving a nail biting contest between the two strong teams today as both Sixers and Stars are very eager to win the second semifinal.

The game is scheduled to begin on 08:45 GMT, 21:30 IST at Sydney Cricket Ground. We will see the greatest fight between the two, as they are placed at 2nd and 3rd in the points table.

The weather is also quite bad with breezy and cloudy day in Sydney. However, according to the experts, rain is least expected. Temperature could reach 24 degree Celsius, so we can hope the game would be played with no bad weather.

So far, Sixers have just lost twice in the BBL, even more interesting one of the loses were against Perth Scorchers in the same ground on January 10th 2014. Perth Scorchers batted first and scored 153 runs by losing 5 wickets in their 20 overs.

In return, Sydney Scorchers were able to score 153 runs with the likes of Simon Katich (71) and Sam Whiteman (53). But unfortunately they were unable to steal 1 run in the last ball.

The game went down to one over eliminator, first time in the Big Bash League history. Scorchers retreated on Yasir Arafat, who took 2 wickets of Sydney Sixers by conceding just 1 run.

The two teams are incredibly well balanced in terms of their batting and bowling. It seems we can witness yet another thrilling game today.

Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Sixers match Preview

Adelaide Strikers are taking Sydney Sixers in the BBL tournament here at Adelaide. Predictions for every game in the KFC Twenty 20 Big Bash League tournament is available at Predictionspot.com.

Adelaide Strikers are very impressing with their past games in the tournament. With the return of Shakib ul Hasan, the probability of winning the game is pretty much high for Strikers. Comparing to the strengths of Sydney Sixers, Adelaide Strikers are not too behind in terms of the quality of bowling and batting.The contest between the two is very interesting as both the teams are equally balanced with their game-play and strengths.

Victory in the last game against Perth Scorchers must have given a great confidence for Strikers to carry with them. Perth Scorchers scored 160 runs in 20 overs,in return wonderful batting by M. Klinger with a not out knock of 86 runs from 55 balls, made strikers to chase the target even with one over remaining.

TOSS PREDICTION: Adelaide Strikers May Win The Toss

STATISTICS: The team batting first will have a less chance in winning the game today. Chasing would be the first preference for both teams. 150-160 runs is really a competitive target for any team. So team that will bowl first must make the opposition to surrender within 130-140 runs, nor it would be very difficult to chase the target later in the game. 

OVERALL: Adelaide Strikers Will Be The Winners Against Sydney Sixers on January 5th 2013. 

Big Bash League Predictions | Melbourne Stars v Melbourne Renegades

Melbourne Renegades vs Melbourne Stars

Melbourne Stars are taking the full hype against Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash Tournament here at Docklands. Even Though the stacks are high in both of the teams, predicting the winner for this game is extremely difficult. After a huge victory over Hobart Hurricanes, Melbourne Stars are very eager to carry the same momentum for the game.

On the paper, Melbourne Stars are favorites with the likes of Luke Wright and Glenn Maxwell. Changing the opening status has well worked for Melbourne Stars with Wright and Bird. However, as a general saying, anything may happen in T20 cricket! Who knows this might be the day of Renegades. Having said that, Renegades are pretty much depending upon their top order batsman with the line of consistency through out the tournament.

The problem for Renegades would be the sudden collapse of the lower middle order in the crucial moments. Quality performance by Cooper and Finch made Renegades to feel confident enough to beat the top team in this season of Big Bash League.

Big Bash League Predictions | Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Thunder

The Prediction for the game between Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder is available here at Predictionspot.com. The game is very crucial for both teams, the team that loses the game today will find very difficult to enter the semifinals.

Perth Scorchers and Sydney thunder have played 3 matches in the tournament where Perth Scorchers have just won 1 match and Thunder is still looking for their first win. Perth Scorchers have to play without Nathan Counter Nile as he has joined up the Australian test squad in Sydney. For them, the return of Adam Voges is a big relief as he missed the last game due to injury.

Although Sydney Thunder haven't won any match in the tournament, their last two games were near close. They lost the games within edge so far. Out of the three games, two games were played against the top two teams in the tournament! Adelaide and Stars.  And so, for them it isn't it all doom and gloom.

Round 4 of the Big Bash Tournament, Brisbane Heat is taking on Sydney Sixers at Brisbane on January 2nd, 2014. The prediction for this game is available here at Predictionspot.com. Brisbane heat have came up with a big disappointment as they have lost their last two games.

Their performance in the tournament is not bad, but the only concerning part would the bowling of Brisbane Heat. The bowlers have conceded 420 runs with record highest score 210 while taking 10 of the 20 wickets available to them.

In the first game against Renegades, Brisbane Heat batsman were fully capable to chase down the 200 plus runs target. But they surrendered to 152 runs, while Renegades enjoyed their first victory in style.

The Predictions for the Big Bash League game Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Renegades is available here at Predictionspot.com. The game is scheduled to begin on 30th December, 2013 at 8:40 PM GMT hosted at Docklands Stadium, Melbourne.

Both teams have lost their previous games, and I don't think Brisbane Heat will let another flop shop show to ruin the game here at Melbourne. The last game for Brisbane Heat was very shocking as Hurricanes chased 200 plus target even with 4 balls remaining. For them this could be a lesson not to repeat the same errors in the upcoming games. Brisbane Heat have a strong batting line up too, with the likes of Cutting, Lynn and Christian, Brisbane heat can well smash of the hopes of Melbourne Renegades to clinch the first victory in the tournament. 

On the other hand, ,Melbourne Renegades must be hoping their top order batsman to take the game. They have lost both of the games and have just put 132 and 111/8. If they are able to build good partnerships, Renegades could also give shocks for Brisbane Heat like the last game!

Sixers were the title winners in the past year and have clinched victory with a number of 10 victories in 17 matches they played so far.

On the other hand Sydney Thunder have performed in a very average manner. Their performance in the last year was nothing but a disaster, however as we all know anything may happen in T20 cricket!
