Sydney Thunder (THU) will take on Melbourne Renegades (REN). This match will be played at Sydney Showground Stadium. Syndey Thunder won their previous match against Melbourne Stars by 18 runs. Thunder were good on the field and Warner was again impressive with his captaincy. Sam Billings was the player of the match. On the other hand, Melbourne Renegades secured a two-wicket win, with an over to spare, over Perth Scorchers in a very closely fought game.
Renegades opted to bowl first and only two batters managed to register double-digit scores for Scorchers as they were limited to 143 for 8. Josh Brown and Tim Seifert made explosive starts but they lost three wickets in the powerplay. Jacob Bethell and Laurie Evans stitched in a 54 run stand to bring them closer to the target and the Renegades were able to chase the target of 144 with an over to spare and two wickets in hand.
Sydney Thunder are fourth in the table with two wins in three matches. While Melbourne Renegades are placed second in the table with two wins in three matches. This should be a closely fought game between these two sides.
