Sydney Thunder:
Sydney Thunder has won one out of the two matches and is currently at the 3rd position on the points table with 4 points.

In the middle, Daniel Sams got out early but in the end, Alex Ross and Ben Cutting batted well but couldn’t win the match for the team.
The bowlers looked slightly out of rhythm in the last match. Tanveer Sangha and Nathan McAndrew have been the consistent wicket-takers of the team. The remaining bowlers went wicketless in the last match.
Sydney Thunder would want to move up on the points table by winning the next match.

Marcus Stoinis and Joe Clarke opened the innings, but both of them couldn’t score much and get out early. At No.3, Maxwell also played slowly but in the middle-order, Larkin scored an unbeaten fifty and Cartwright scored forty runs. In the end, Russell scored some quick runs and helped the team reach a good total.
The bowlers improved a lot compared to the last match. Brody Couch is picking up wickets consistently and Nathan Coulter-Nile got two wickets in the last match. Adam Zampa and Qais Ahmed managed to get one wicket each.
