Preview:
The Sydney Derby has proven a tough to tip in recent years, but it’s been the Thunder with the upper hand head-to-head.
In their last six meetings the Thunder have won four, and they’ll head into this year’s edition as the slight favourite.
Expectations are high for the Thunder’s opening order after a strong offseason acquiring international talent. Unfortunately for them, their 1-2 record as home favourites against the Sixers is a little concerning.
Speaking of imports, the Sixers will be relying on one of their own this year – Englishman Tom Curran. He heads a stellar bowling attack alongside former Test spinner Steve O’Keefe, and since we’ve seen plenty of wickets fall already this season, the Sixers look a great upset pick.
