Preview

Sydney Sixers (SIX) will be up against Sydney Thunder (THU) in the eighth match of the Big Bash League 2024-25. This match will be played at Sydney Showground Stadium. Daniel Sams with a stunning knock of 42 from just 18 balls along with a fine 56 by debutant Sam Konstas saw Sydney Thunder beat Adelaide Strikers in their opening game. On the other hand, Sydney Sixers began their Big Bash League 2024-25 campaign with a five-wicket victory over Melbourne Renegades at the SCG on Monday. Captain Moises Henriques scored a half-century to help his team get over the line. They will miss the services of Daniel Hughes for the rest of the season as he is ruled out due to injury. This promises to be an exciting match.

Pitch Report

The surface here generally is not a high scoring one with some help for pacers and plenty of help for the spinners. Both teams will prefer batting first at this venue and score a par total.

8.5

Moises Henriques SIX | ALL

Moises Henriques led from the front with a belligerent 53 not out off 27 balls in the opening match. He will be a top pick.

8.5

Sam Konstas THU | ALL

Sam Konstas on his BBL debut scored a half century in the opening match. The debutant brought up his 50 of just 20 balls.

9

David Warner THU | BAT

David Warner has plenty of experience in this format and will be opening the batting for Thunder. He will be a handy budget pick for this match.

8.5

Lockie Ferguson THU | BOWL

Lockie Ferguson was excellent in the previous match picking up 3-24. The right arm pacer will be a very good option to have for this match.
