Both teams will be keen to do well.
Preview
The Sydney Thunder are all set to turn their fortunes around against the Perth Scorchers in the 33rd game of the Big Bash League 2024-25, slated to take place from January 13 at Sydney Showground, New South Wales, Australia. The two teams are standing at the dominant spot and aim to continue their stellar form heading into this game to pose strong chances to finish in the top four.
The THU side is in the third spot with four wins and three losses. They need to win in this game, as their victory in this game with a superior net run rate can make them sit in the top spot of the points table, where they can look to grab the final spot. On the flip side, SCO is in the fifth spot with three wins and five losses. The win in this game would help them ascend in the rankings, and a loss in this encounter would put them in a difficult spot and might knock them out of the marquee event.
The THU side heads into this game after suffering a six-wicket defeat against Hobart Hurricanes in the last outing. David Warner and his men aim to mark their comeback in this game to ascend in their rankings. In contrast, SCO also heads into this game after suffering a 14-run defeat against Sydney Sixers. Notably, both sides have lost their last game but possess exceptional qualities to avoid their back-to-back defeats heading into this game.
