The scheduling for this year's BBL has thrown up quite a few back-to-back fixtures of late. The Scorchers have just come off one such encounter with the high-flying Melbourne Stars and lost both matches. The first, also played at the Optus Stadium was a humbling affair for a side that was looking in good form up to that point, the second saw them squander a good bowling performance as their batsmen threw away too many cheap wickets in pursuit of a manageable total.
Similarly, these 2 teams now meet twice in the space of 3 matches with the side that comes out on top guaranteed a spot in the playoffs.
The Thunder overcame a humiliating defeat by bottom side the Renegades to inflict a crushing win in a rain-affected game against their city rivals the Sydney Sixers. Their captain Callum Ferguson will have fond memories of this venue from last year when he hit a sensational hundred to chase down a big total.
Apart from a couple of batting collapses including in the last match here against the Stars, the Optus wicket has provided pace, bounce and plenty of runs.
