Sydney Sixers go into this game as slight favourites, and we expect them to win it.

They also have the upper hand over Melbourne Stars, winning 16 of the 25 meetings between the two sides that produced a result.

We expect a first-innings score of around 165, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.
