The Sydney Sixers have been in good form in this season of the BBL. They would host one game against Adelaide Strikers in Coffs Harbour in this edition. Here, we look at the pitch report of International Sports Stadium and the weather conditions in Coffs Harbour for BBL 2022/23.
The biggest advantage for the Sixers will be the availability of some of the star Aussie cricketers for a few games. Some of the names include Steve Smith and Nathan Lyon. Apart from them, the team anyways has some fine T20 cricketers in the form of Josh Philippe, Moises Henriques, Dan Christian and Sean Abbott. The Adelaide Strikers, too, are in decent touch and will pose a tough challenge to the team from Sydney.
BBL has been at the centre of some controversial decisions in recent days. The latest one happened during the game between Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades. Twice during the game, the Stars hit the ball to the roof. In both cases, the umpires gave six runs. However, some players and fans did not take a liking to the rule. BBL could think of changing it for the next campaign.

Not many games have happened at this venue, so far. Therefore, there will be very less data for the analysts to consume and derive a strategy for the teams.
That said, in the past, 3 BBL games have happened and based on this, it can be concluded that the pitch will offer an equal game between the ball and the bat.
