PRS vs SYT Match Prediction & Analysis
T20 cricket has always been a game of momentum and that force can also roll into additional matches with both teams in this clash, Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder, enjoying their cricket over recent rounds!
There is more good news for the Scorchers and Thunder as Sydney Sixers have now been checked back at the top of the table after winning their opening four games they were defeated by Hobart Hurricanes by 50 runs on New Year’s Day.
There is also more competitiveness at the bottom of the table now that Melbourne Stars are off the mark. All in all, it means that the result in this game will be crucial with teams coming up from the foot of the league now chasing those above them.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Perth Scorchers Preview
Perth Scorchers have always been a side with a strong bowling unit as well as power throughout their batting line-up, but this year that appears to be even more the case. What’s more, the return of Jhye Richardson from the Australia Test squad has added even more quality to an already firing bowling attack!
The new-ball pair of Richardson and Jason Behrendorff is one of the most accurate and potent in the tournament and they also have Lance Morris with Andrew Tye backing them up as strong pacers, not to mention the reliable spin of Ashton Agar and Cooper Connolly.
Sydney Thunder Preview
Sydney Thunder have been a bit hit and miss over the years in the BBL but this year they seem to have stumbled across a particularly strong bowling attack. It was Wes Agar who took all the headlines in the win over Melbourne Renegades after taking 4/32 from his four overs but it showed the depth of the team as Lockie Ferguson, who had been extremely impressive up until that game, went wicketless.
Daniel Sams took 2/26 in that game and has already proved to be a match-winner with both bat and ball in this year’s BBL.
The batting line-up has a fluidity and fluency which other teams can only dream of and on any given day it is far to expect one of Cameron Bancroft, David Warner, Sherfane Rutherford, Oliver Davies or keeper-batter Sam Billings to step up!
Weather Conditions
There is not much chance of cloud or rain at any point in January in Perth and this game looks set to deliver a temperature of 26 degrees throughout in spite of being played between 18:15 and 21:35 local time!
PRS vs SYT Pitch Report
The Optus Stadium has seen teams win batting first and fielding first so far this season but overall the bowlers have had the most success. We predict that whoever bats first will feel they are in the game if they can post a total of 155+.
