Sydney Sixers will be locking horns with Sydney Thunder in Match 51 of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) 2022 at the North Sydney Oval on Friday, November 18. Both franchises from Sydney have had contrasting fortunes ahead of this city derby.

The Sixers have been consistent and outstanding throughout the season. They occupy the top position in the points table having won nine of their 12 matches with 19 points to their tally at an impressive NRR of 0.692 and are already in the knockout phase. They head into this clash on the back of a hard-fought five-wicket win over the Brisbane Heat.

The Sydney Thunder on the other hand have had a disastrous campaign. They are languishing at the bottom of the points table having registered just a solitary win from their 12 matches with five points to their tally courtesy of three games ending in a no result. Their net run rate happens to be a dismal -0.964 and they can only manage to salvage pride as they do not have any chance of making the knockouts this time around.
