Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Thunder Preview

The Thunder have held the wood over the Scorchers recently with four wins from their last five meetings, but this does shape as a difficult road trip for the visitors.

Perth sits firmly atop the ladder with only one loss next to its name, but there is something to be said of a Sydney side that now sits second following three straight wins.

Given their form, I’m happy to steer clear of the head-to-head market here and instead back some player props.

It’s not the most exciting pick, but in terms of batting, you really can’t go past Alex Hales right now.

The BBL leading runscorer finished with 77 in a win over the Hurricanes on Saturday, while he’s also given Perth headaches in the past averaging nearly 30 runs in six matches.
