The Sydney Sixers are ready to rock this season of the 2024–2025 Big Bash League (BBL). Moises Henriques, who is the skipper of the team, and coach Greg Shipperd have been leading this team into one of the most consistent franchises in the tournament. Having reached the play-offs in the last six seasons and finishing as runners-up in BBL|13, the Sixers will look to take it to the next level this season.
The team has a perfect balance of local talent and overseas stars. Explosive opener Josh Philippe, reliable anchors like Daniel Hughes, and the dynamic James Vince are there in the batting line-up of the Sixers. Veteran Steve Smith adds a world-class element but will join only after his Test commitments. The middle order, led by Henriques and Jordan Silk, ensures depth and adaptability, critical for pressure situations.

The bowling unit is anchored by Sean Abbott, the league’s all-time wicket-taker, which gives them a lot of versatility. Ben Dwarshius brings consistency while West Indian spinner Akeal Hosein provides control and variation. Veterans like Jackson Bird round off a disciplined attack.
The hallmark of the Sixers has been their resilience and tactical acumen. While missing key players such as Steve Smith and possibly Sean Abbott for part of the season is a challenge, the Sixers do have the depth and experience to maintain their stronghold in the league. Expect them to be a force to reckon with, ready to take another deep run in the tournament.
