The Sydney Sixers have won seven of their nine games in the tournament, and one more victory would almost certainly secure their position in the playoffs. This team has clearly become stronger after the additions of Steve Smith and Nathan Lyon. The Sixers are one of the most consistent teams in the tournament, and they would want to keep it that way.

Adelaide Strikers have won five of their 11 tournament games, and this is a crucial game for them. Chris Lynn will not be participating in the event any more, and he will be much missed. Travis Head and Alex Carey are both available for the rest of the season and will play significant roles.

The second-placed Sydney Sixers will face the Adelaide Strikers at Coffs Harbour's International Stadium tonight.

The match is expected to be a sell-out, with Coffs locals excited to see world-class cricket played in their own backyard.#NBNNews pic.twitter.com/MC3XnnCLPe

Coffs Harbour Stadium pitch report

For the last two seasons, the Sydney Sixers have played a handful of their home games at Coffs Harbour. This stadium will host one Big Bash League match this season. Because this stadium only hosts a small number of matches, there is usually a packed house.

There have only been two T20 matches played there, both of which were won by the pursuing sides. In those matches, the average first-inning score was 164 runs. The hitters have liked batting on this surface, and there are no obvious demons on this track.

The boundaries of this stadium are not particularly large, and hitters may easily clear them. It has been demonstrated that the spinners have some traction on this circuit, and they may once again be lethal here. Run-scoring will be simple with such a speedy outfield. After winning the toss, any captain may choose to chase.
