Pre-Match Analysis:
Sydney Thunder are in extremely bad shape at the moment having lost their previous 3 matches. They came so close against the Renegades and Strikers however hiccups at the late end have hurt them hugely. The inconsistency of their batters is the biggest reason for their failure. Adding to the insult, they terminated the contract of their overseas speedster Fazalhaq Farooqi for inappropriate behavior. Usman Qadir will replace him in the squad. Gurinder Sandhu and Daniel Sams are bowling in tandem having picked up 7 wickets apiece. A lot has been expected from their big guns Rilee Rossouw and Alex Hales. With one win and 3 losses, they are placed 8th in the standings with 2 points.
After two initial losses against Melbourne Renegades, Brisbane Heat finally got success with 6 run win over table-toppers Adelaide Strikers. Sam Billings hit his first half-century of the tournament to take Brisbane to a competitive total of 166 runs and later pace spearhead Mark Steketee’s 4 wicket haul handed them the first points on the table. Max Bryant has returned to the form with a blistering 46 runs. It’s a just small step towards success and they need to be consistent in their process. They sit at the 6th spot in the standings with 2 points.
