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.
