The loss of Steve Smith for tonight's preliminary final is a "burden" but the Sydney Sixers can win without him, according to former Australian cult hero Doug Bollinger."But, you know, the Sixers got there this season by doing it anyway."Half the Sixers team have been there seven, eight, nine seasons ... so they know what they're doing."But it'll just be another game.
"Daniel Hughes will come in. He'll do his best. I'm not sure if he'll open the batting, but he knows what he's doing, he knows what he's doing with T20 cricket and he'll be fine.When the Sixers and Brisbane Heat teams are revealed at the toss, Hughes or Kurtis Patterson is likely to be named as Josh Philippe's opening partner.
Hughes is expected to return to the side following Smith's departure for India, where he'll play in Australia's first Test series in the country since 2017.
