SYT vs SYD 34th Match Prediction

SYT vs SYD Team Previews

Sydney Thunder

The Thunder have the chance to take the top spot in the league and prove that they’re the best team in Sydney. We’re seeing fantastic batting from the likes of Alex Hales (245 runs) and Oliver Davies (226), and either one has the ability to go well past a half-century in any match. We’d like more from top-order batter, Rilee Rossouw, who has just 127 runs in eight matches.

Daniel Sams (11 wickets) and Nathan McAndrew (11) have been the star bowlers for the Thunder and have the skill to give trouble to the Sixers’ batters. McAndrew’s 3/29 against the Scorchers was a real eye-opener as to his bowling in 2023. Keep an eye out for Chris Green, too, as here’s a spinner with six wickets and a great ER of 5.79.

Sydney Sixers

There’s no doubt that English batter James Vince is one of the major reasons for the Sixers’ success in the BBL. If his 91* in the close victory over the Stars wasn’t enough, Vince is also piling on the runs with 258 overall (third-best in the league).

Vince is crucial to the side, but there’s also a lot of help from the likes of Josh Philippe (170 runs) and Jordan Silk (197). Captain Moises Henriques has been leading the team well in the field, although his presence with the bat is fairly underwhelming so far, with only 113 runs and no score higher than 52*.

Much of the bowling will be down to Sean Abbott (13 wickets) and allrounder Hayden Kerr (11 wickets) to take down the tough Thunder batting lineup. Abbott’s 3/31 against the Stars certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed by opposing batsmen!
