In the last encounter between these two teams in this season, Sydney Sixers won the match by one run in the super over.

Sydney Thunder:

Thunder was brilliant at the start of the season and played well, but now they are struggling a bit. They are currently at the 6th position in the points table with four wins and five losses and a total of 9 points. 

In the last match, bowling first, Thunder went wicketless in the power play for 44 runs. They managed to pick up the 1st wicket in the 7th over for 49 runs, but after that, they again gave away runs and picked up 2nd wicket in the 13th over. They bowled decently in the death overs and picked up two more wickets and restricted the opposition to a total of 172 runs in 20 overs. Liam Bowe bowled well and picked up two wickets for 23 runs in his four overs. Chris Morris and Nathan McAndrew picked up one wicket each.

With 173 runs to chase, Thunder lost the wicket of Khawaja in the very 1st over for a duck. In the 3rd over the in-form batsman Callum Ferguson got out by scoring just seven runs, and in the 5th over, they lost the wicket of Daniel Sams. Thunder was 30 runs for three wickets after five overs and looked in deep trouble. But in the 6th over the match was interrupted due to rain and the target was revised to 135 runs in 14 overs. Alex Hales 31 runs and Alex Ross 51 runs played brilliantly, but it wasn’t enough for the Thunder to win, and they lost the match by 12 runs.

Thunder would be hoping to win this match against the Sydney Sixers and get back to their winning ways and also climb up the points table.

Sydney Sixers:

Sixers are having a good time as they are currently at the 2nd position on the points table with six wins and three losses and a total of 13 points.
