Preview

Sydney Sixers will take on Sydney Thunder in the Challenger of the Big Bash League. This match will be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Sydney Sixers finished second in the group stage with six wins and two losses in ten matches. On the other hand, Sydney Thunder were third in the table with five wins and three losses in ten matches with a couple of no results.

Sydney Thunder won the knockout game against Melbourne Stars by 21 runs. They put made 135/7 in 19 overs and it proved to be a very good score on a tricky Showground surface. The spinners bowled well as Melbourne Stars were bowled out for 114. On the other hand, Sydney Sixers lost the Qualifier against Hobart Hurricanes by 12 runs. They were set a target of 173 and could only make 161.

Sydney Thunder have made two changes to the squad that beat Melbourne Stars to qualify for the Challenger – veteran allrounder Dan Christian returns alongside batter Jason Sangha, with Toby Gray and Blake Nikitaras making way. Sydney Sixers have added ACT and Western Suburbs allrounder Hanno Jacobs as a local replacement player for the Challenger. This is a huge game for both these sides with the winner of this match set to face Hobart Hurricanes in the BBL Final.
