Preview:
The Thunder’s fast start to the season came to a screeching halt over the weekend losing by as many as seven wickets to the Hurricanes and 20 runs to the Strikers.
Things haven’t been any better for the Scorchers, who opened the season as the championship favourite. Perth have won just one of their four games to start the year to sit seventh on the Big Bash ladder.
Despite their slump, Sydney enter this one as the favourite. The Thunder are 2-0 as the home favourite in the last 12 months, although they have won only two of their seven games against the Scorchers.
Even so, home field advantage should prove to be the winning factor for Sydney, especially on a wicket that should challenge the top of Perth’s order.
