THE LOWDOWN
SYDNEY THUNDER
- Just one win to their name with only four matches remaining, pressure is starting to build on Sydney Thunder, who probably need to win at least three of those final four group fixtures to progress.
- Since their victory over inter-city rivals Melbourne Stars, the Thunder have been beaten by both Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes alongside a no result vs Sydney Sixers in-between that.
PERTH SCORCHERS
- Perth Scorchers fell to their first loss of the season so far, beaten by a comprehensive nine wickets at the hands of Adelaide Strikers, leaving them now trailing both Brisbane Heat and Sydney Sixers in the table.
- The Scorchers top order suffered a rare misfire, whilst no batter managed to score a half-century, leading to an under-par score of 153/7 which was comfortably chased down by Adelaide.
THE PREDICTION
A team of Perth Scorchers’ quality are more than good enough to bounce straight back following a result not going their way. It’s hard to see their batting line-up flopping for a second consecutive game and they are expected to score high whether they be batting first or second time. Against weak opposition who have struggled all season, back the reigning champion Scorchers to secure their fifth league win of the campaign.
