THE PREDICTION

Sydney Thunder have hit an inconsistent patch after they lost for the second time in three matches in WBBL|06. They were outclassed by defending champions Brisbane Heat in another under-par showing with their batting performance seriously underwhelming. They stuttered to just 111/9 with only two players making it into the 20s. The bowling effort failed to dig the batters out of a hole as they managed just two wickets in reply in the eight-wicket loss. In their bid to bounce back here, they come up against top of the ladder Melbourne Stars who remain unbeaten having won five in a row. They proved too good for Perth Scorchers in their last outing, dominating with both bat and ball in an eight-wicket triumph. Nat Sciver delivered with two wickets before notching 33* and she combined with skipper Meg Lanning who scored 51* as her fine form also continued. The Stars’ key players are all performing well and they can continue their superb start to the competition with another success here.
