THE LOWDOWN
SYDNEY THUNDER
- Sydney Thunder are coming off the back of arguably their best win of the competition so far this season, overcoming reigning champions Perth Scorchers in Perth.
- It was even more impressive that they came through with victory despite no contribution from Alex Hales with the bat, as the overseas star was dismissed without scoring.
SYDNEY SIXERS
- A narrow win over Melbourne Stars last time out was enough to take Sydney Sixers to the top of the table, although they may have been knocked back off that top spot by the time they take to the field here.
- James Vince was the hero at the MCG, opening and anchoring an excellent run chase of 174 with a brilliant unbeaten 91 from only 59 balls.
THE PREDICTION
A blockbuster Sydney derby is in prospect between the Sixers, one of the men’s BBL’s top performing sides not just this season, but for a number of years and the Thunder, who are riding the crest of a wave having won their last four games. Beating the Scorchers will have given Sydney Thunder belief that they can overcome their city-rivals and home advantage is in their favour. With their top order in good form and their recent winning streak having highlighted their ability of finding a way to win in different situations, backing Sydney Thunder to claim the derby spoils should be seriously considered.
