The Sydney Sixers will host their first home game of BBL15 at the SCG on Wednesday night and are likely to retain the same XI.

There have been no forced absences from the side that lost by five wickets to the Perth Scorchers at Optus Stadium on Sunday with three changes made to the reserves players. 

Jordan Silk and Jafer Chohan return from personal issues and illness respectively, whilst 19-year-old Riley Kingsell has been named as a local replacement player.

The trio replaces Ben Manenti, Lachlan Shaw and Harjas Singh, who were the unnamed travelling reserves in Perth on Sunday.

Spectators are encouraged to arrive to the SCG early due to increased security checks outside the ground following the Bondi Beach terrorist attack at the weekend.

Sydney Sixers squad to face Adelaide Strikers:

Moises Henriques (c), Babar Azam, Jafer Chohan, Joel Davies, Ben Dwarshuis, Jack Edwards, Daniel Hughes, Hayden Kerr, Riley Kingsell, Todd Murphy, Mitch Perry, Josh Philippe, Jordan Silk, Charlie Stobo
