Sydney Thunder:
The Sydney Thunder are having a good time so far as they have won 6 out of 9 matches and are currently at the 2nd position on the points table with a total of 23 points. In the last game, Sydney Thunder had to face disappointment as they lost by 17 runs.
Alex Hales and Usman Khawaja have been giving a brilliant start to the inning this season, but Hales got out early in the last game, and Khawaja scored 26 runs. Skipper Ferguson has not been able to s much in the previous two matches.
Alex Ross after a brilliant inning got out for a duck in the last match and Daniel Sams did not play the previous two games due to a concussion injury. Sam Billings batted brilliantly in the previous game scoring 83 runs from just 48 balls but couldn’t finish it.
Ben Cutting has been brilliant throughout the season batting in the lower middle-order and batted well in the last match scoring 31 runs.
The bowling performance was once again not up to the mark in the last match as they conceded runs freely and struggled to pick up wickets. Tanveer Sangha and Chris Green have been picking up wickets consistently so far this season, but in the last match, both of them went wicketless.
Nathan McAndrew has also been picking up wickets consistently from the last few matches, and Brendan Doggett bowled brilliantly in the previous game picking up four wickets.
Thunder have a perfect batting unit, but they need to improve a bit in their bowling performance, and they can easily get back on the top of the points table.
Sydney Sixers:

Josh Philippe has been performing decently so far this season but has not scored much in the last two matches. Jack Edwards’s struggle with the bat continues as he got out early in the previous game. James Vince has also looked out of form in most of the games this season.
Skipper Hughes appears to be back in form after two to three matches as he scored a brilliant fifty in the last game. Dan Christian and Jordan Silk have also been performing their roles in the middle-order, brilliantly providing brilliant finishes. In the previous match, Christian batted exceptionally well as he scored 61* and led his team to victory.
The bowlers have been performing decently so far this season. Ben Dwarshuis and Steve O’Keefe have been the most consistent at picking up wickets, but in the previous game, Dwarshuis did not play due to injury, and Steve O’Keefe went wicketless.
