Betting Tips
Cooper Connolly to score over 21.5 runs
1.85
Connolly is the tournament’s leading run-scorer, with an average of 57.25 across 5 innings. He has scored at least 22 runs in 4 of his last 5 outings, and we are backing him to play a good innings here.
Sydney Thunder total runs before fall of 1st wicket Under 21.5
1.85
Sydney Thunder’s opening pair hasn’t been consistent this year. They have crossed the 22-run mark just once in the 4 matches played so far. The Thunder will find it difficult to establish a good partnership as they face a strong pace attack from Scorchers.
The Perth Scorchers will aim to move to the top of the points table as they host Sydney Thunder on Friday at the Perth Stadium.

PS vs ST Team Previews
Perth Scorchers
The Perth Scorchers have won 3 of their 5 matches so far and are currently placed 2nd on the points table. Their NRR is among the best in the league and a win here could take them to the top of the table.
Cooper Connolly has been a standout performer with the bat and is the leading run-scorer of the season. He has scored a total of 229 runs at an average of 57.25. Ashton Turner and Nick Hobson have supported him well in the middle order. They are both known for their explosive batting and have a strike rate of over 150.
Finn Allen, who was having a quiet season so far scored a half-century on Tuesday and will be feeling confident. However, he will need better support from Matthew Hurst if the Scorchers want a good start.
Coming to bowling, Perth is likely to play without Jhye Richardson as he has been selected in the national squad. This leaves Jason Behrendorff as the team’s strike bowler along with Lance Morris and Andrew Tye. Ashton Agar has managed to pick up only 3 wickets but has been miserly with his economy rate.
Perth Scorchers Expected Playing 11
- Finn Allen
- Matthew Hurst (WK)
- Cooper Connolly
- Ashton Turner (C)
- Nick Hobson
- Aaron Hardie
- Ashton Agar
- Matthew Kelly
- Jason Behrendorff
- Andrew Tye
- Lance Morris
Sydney Thunder
Like their opponents, Sydney Thunder has played well this year to win 3 of their 4 matches. The team is coming into this contest on the back of a win against Melbourne Renegades.
David Warner wasn’t in the best of forms during the first 3 matches. However, he scored an unbeaten half-century in the last game and will hope to continue with the same momentum going forward. He will be joined by Cameron Bancroft at the top of the order.
Sam Billings and Daniel Sams have played a couple of good innings in the middle order but the form of Sherfane Rutherford and Oliver Davies remains a concern. Wes Agar bowled a brilliant spell in the last match, picking up 4 wickets.
He makes up for a strong pace attack along with Lockie Ferguson and Sams, while Chris Green and Tom Andrews are likely to play as the two spinners.
Sydney Thunder Expected Playing 11
- Cameron Bancroft
- David Warner (C)
- Sam Billings (WK)
- Daniel Sams
- Sherfane Rutherford
- Chris Green
- Oliver Davies
- Lockie Ferguson
- Wes Agar
- Matthew Gilkes
- Tom Andrews
PS vs ST Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at Perth is flat and one of the bounciest surfaces in Australia. There is plenty of pace on offer and the quicker bowlers will enjoy bowling here. The new ball will move around off the seam thanks to an even covering of grass. That said, once the batsmen settle down, they will be able to play their shots. The team batting first will look to score at least 180 runs.
The weather is likely to remain cloudy with temperatures of around 25 degrees.
PS vs ST Betting Tips
The Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder have charted similar journeys in this season and it is difficult to predict a winner here. That said, we will be backing the Perth Scorchers to win here as they have a strong pace attack and are better equipped to exploit the conditions.
Bet on the Perth Scorchers to win.
