THE LOWDOWN

SYDNEY THUNDER

• You have to go all the way back to January 4^th for the last time that Sydney Thunder won a game in this season’s men’s BBL, a six-wicket triumph over Perth Scorchers with the Thunder having since lost their last three games.
• Sydney Thunder’s most recent loss, a five-wicket defeat at the hands of Hobart Hurricanes saw him knocked out of the play-off spots, putting into perspective the importance of this game.

MELBOURNE RENEGADES

• Melbourne Renegades have put together a run of three victories in their last four matches which has taken them onto 12 points with a positive win-loss record and three games still left to play.
• The Renegades came out with bragging rights in the latest Melbourne derby, beating the Stars by six runs this past weekend.

THE PREDICTION

If ever Sydney Thunder needed a big contribution from David Warner, it’s this game. They are now in real jeopardy of not making the play-offs and a big performance is required here. Melbourne Renegades are in good form, but have not been the most consistent side across the tournament and aren’t of the level of teams such as Perth Scorchers and Sydney Sixers. With home advantage in their favour, back Sydney Thunder with the pressure on, to put in a strong showing with bat and ball, ultimately winning this one.
