Perth Scorchers have won their last 2 matches against the Sydney Thunder.

Head to Head

Sydney Thunder have won three of their last five matches against the Scorchers, but the last two have been won by the Scorchers.

Perth Scorchers Form

The Perth Scorchers have climbed up to second on the BBL table after two successive victories. They are on six points, two behind the Sydney Sixers.

The Scorchers won their last match by seven wickets against the Adelaide Strikers. Bowling first, Jhye Richardson took 3-29 as the Strikers were held to 142 in 20 overs. However, looking back, the Perth outfit had them at 58-8, so there may be some concern in not closing that game out for under 100.

Despite the late runs, the Perth Scorchers cruised to victory inside 15 overs. Finn Allen smashed 50 off 23 balls while the in-from Cooper Connolly scored *48 and Ashton Turner 35*.

The Scorchers are likely to stick with the same side.

Sydney Thunder Form

Sydney Thunder have won three of their four games and are third on the table, level on points with the second placed Perth Scorchers.

The Thunder have quietly gone about their business this season and won their last game by eight runs. David Warner eventually found some form, scoring 86 off 57 deliveries in a total of 156.

It was nothing more than a par score, but Wes Agar’s 4-32 dragged the Thunder to yet another win.

There has still been a lack of consistency in the batting ranks, but the form of David Warner will please the team and fans alike.

Verdict

Perth Scorchers v Sydney Thunder - T20

The Perth Scorchers are backed to win their third straight game with Cooper Connolly to top score. For the Thunder, David Warner can get some runs again after a superb effort in his last innings.
