Sydney Thunder Preview: Sixers triumph extends win streak to four

The Sydney derby this past weekend saw the Thunder maintain the method of victory which has served them so well over the course of this year’s WBBL. Bat first and bowl out their opponents, which they’ve now successfully done in each of their last three games.

Perth Scorchers preview: Scorchers smarting after Hobart hammering 

Perth Scorchers need to bounce back quickly following a 72-run hammering at the hands of Hobart Hurricanes, which will forever be remembered for Lizelle Lee’s extraordinary unbeaten 150. In the end, the result looks worse than it actually was, with the Scorchers simply the victims of a one-off special innings that is unlikely to be repeated for a long time.

Sydney Thunder Betting Analysis

Our analysis on slow-left-arm bowler Samantha Bates saw us suggest backing her to record 3+ wickets against the Sixers and the Thunder star delivered just that. Bates has now moved into top-spot on the wicket-takers chart with 15 scalps across five games, two more than that of Alana King. With King on the opposite side here, Bates has extra motivation to perform and backing her to finish this match having gained over 1.5 match wickets has to be favoured.

Perth Scorchers Betting Analysis

Perth Scorchers can call upon one of the most dangerous openers across the entire WBBL in Beth Mooney, who currently boasts 182 runs in five innings at an average of 36.40. Mooney has the capability to take the game away from the Thunder if she gets in and a top score of 77 already this season is proof of that. Explore backing Mooney to accumulate 30+ runs here.

Sydney Thunder vs Perth Scorchers Expert Prediction

Sydney Thunder are on a roll in all departments whether it be scoring runs, taking wickets or just winning games in general. Perth Scorchers represent a stern test, having won two of their last three. But it’s very difficult not to back the red-hot Thunder when taking into account their current form. Back Phoebe Litchfield’s side to come out on top.
