Pre-Match Analysis:

Perth Scorchers are setting huge standards in this BBL with their complete all-round performances. With 5 wins and a loss, they are placed at the top of the standings with 10 points. They took the game deep in their previous outing against Renegades and won by 5 wickets. The chase was well-setup by Faf du Plessis, later responsible knocks from Cameron Bancroft and Josh Inglis steered them home with 2 balls to spare. The way Josh Inglis is batting at the moment deserves huge credit and he is not far away from cementing a regular spot in the Australia T20 squad. The pace trio of Jason Behrendorff, Jhye Richardson, and Andrew Tye continue to hunt in tandem and already bagged 33 wickets between them. Aaron Hardie is the other player to watch out for them.

Sydney Thunder looks a completely different side when their openers give a solid start. Alex Hales played his best knock of the tournament in the last game against Hurricanes to take the side to more than 200 runs on the board. Oliver Davies batted brilliantly in the middle overs and scored 65 runs in quick succession. The bowlers did the rest of the damage in the 2nd half to restrict the opposition to 166 runs as a result they won the game by 62 runs. Daniel Sams’ absence will hurt them hugely as the all-rounder misses this game due to a groin strain. They are placed 2nd in the standings with 8 points.
