ST vs PS Team Previews

Sydney Thunder

Sydney Thunder hasn’t been in the best of forms over the past week as they have managed to pick up only 1 point from its last 3 matches. While the team still remains in the 3rd place on the table, they will look to win here to strengthen its chances of going to the next stage.

David Warner is in brilliant form at the top of the order and has scored 3 half-centuries in his last 4 innings. He is the leading run-scorer of the tournament so far. Warner will be joined by Sam Konstas as his opening partner and together they make for an explosive opening pair.

The middle-order batting has been a bit of a let-down, especially after the departure of Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams. Oliver Davies and Sam Billings have played well in patches but they haven’t been consistent enough.

The bowling hasn’t been the best too. With Lockie Ferguson leaving for ILT20, Wes Agar remains the team’s strike bowler. Ferguson will be replaced by George Garton. Mohammad Hasnain’s return to the BBL has been ordinary as he remained wicketless in his first game of the season.

The spinners other than Chris Green have struggled as well.

Sydney Thunder Expected Playing 11

Perth Scorchers

The Perth Scorchers have lost 5 of their last 7 matches and are traveling to the Sydney Showdown Stadium on the back of 3 consecutive losses. With just 2 more games to go including this one, if Perth loses this game, they might be on the verge of elimination.

Sam Fanning, who had played a match last season, makes a comeback to the squad and played an impressive knock of 41 runs on Saturday. He will join Finn Allen in the opening slot. The middle order of the Perth Scorchers is quite strong thanks to the presence of Cooper Connolly, Ashton Turner, and Nick Hobson.

Connolly is the leading run-scorer for the team while Turner scored an excellent half-century in the previous match. Aaron Hardie has proved to be a weak link in the batting unit and is averaging under 15 runs in 5 innings.

The pace department will be led by Jason Behrendorff, who is among the leading wicket-takers of the season. Behrendorff will be supported by Andrew Tye and Jhye Richardson while Ashton Agar will play as a full-time spinner.

ST vs PS Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at the Sydney Showground Stadium isn’t the easiest to bat on. The ball grips the surface and stops a bit after pitching, making it difficult to time the ball. Anything over 160 might be difficult to chase.

The weather here is likely to be overcast with a few thunderstorms predicted for Monday.

ST vs PS Betting Tips

Both teams haven’t been in the best of forms over the past weeks and will be eager to win here as well approach the end of the Group stages. While there is no clear favorite, we are backing Perth Scorchers to win this match. They have a strong batting line-up and a well-balanced bowling unit that gives them an edge.

Bet on the Perth Scorchers to win.
