This was largely thanks to the explosive exploits of Tim David who finished on 68 not out off 38 rocks.</p> <p>The 28-year-old smashed six sixes during his spell at the crease and against the cellar dwellers this week, he’ll be hoping for a repeat performance to launch his side to the top of the standings.</p> <p><strong>Head-to-head prediction:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/cricket/twenty20-big-bash/hobart-hurricanes-v-melbourne-renegades-8790132">Hobart Hurricanes.</a></p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong>Tim David to make 50.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Sixers Prediction</h2> <p><em><strong>Wednesday, January 15, 7:30pm AEDT – Adelaide Oval</strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Steve Smith is back in the BBL and back doing what he does best – smashing centuries.</p> <p>The Aussie legend hit his third Big Bash ton last start as he led the Sixers to victory over the Scorchers.</p> <p>His masterful 121 not out drew him level with Ben McDermott for the most centuries in the competition.</p> <p>They both now have three a piece, the difference being McDermott needed 100 games to hit his, while Smith needed just 32.</p> <p>While another ton might be a stretch on the road to the Strikers, Smith is clearly in the zone and should be able to blast Sydney to victory here and perhaps the BBL title come season's end.</p> <p><strong>Head-to-head prediction:&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/cricket/twenty20-big-bash/adelaide-strikers-v-sydney-sixers-8790139">Sydney Sixers.</a></p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong>Steve Smith top run scorer and Sixers to win.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Big Bash League 2024/25 Odds</h2>
