Best Sydney Sixers Players in Big Bash League 2022-23
Moises Henriques
The captain of the Sydney Sixers team has been one of the most influential figures for the side for a long time now. His ability to play spin and handle pace changes makes him a unique player in the Sydney Sixers team.
The best part about Moises Henriques is his ability to pace his innings and place himself in any position of the batting lineup to construct an innings or chase down high scorers. He is more than handy with the ball and is usually faultless on the field.
Josh Phillipe
The wicketkeeper for the Sixers and a destructive batsman in his own right Josh Phillipe has been serving the Sydney Sixers team for quite some time now. His ability to play shots all around the field makes him a difficult person to ball to. Besides, his potential as a 25-year-old cricketer is astounding and it is touted that sooner rather than later he is going to be an important part of the Australian cricket team.
Steve O’Keefe
There are very few spinners in Australian cricket who can be tidy with the new ball and also pick up wickets. O’Keefe never really was a huge spinner of the ball, but his accuracy in line and length often pressurized batsmen to take risks against their counterparts which often caused their demise. Whenever a player retires from first-class cricket, people assume that they are done with it. However, it is fair to say he has a lot of cricket left in him.
Sydney Sixers: BBL Performance
Sydney Sixers got off to a flyer in the first edition of the BBL by winning it, since then they have won it two more times but what they will be looking for in this season is consistency and the ability to translate good beginnings into something much more tangible.
