TEAMS PREVIEW
Sydney Sixers Preview
Sydney Sixers came up short in their Qualifier match against the Hobart Hurricanes, losing by 12 runs in Hobart. Despite the setback, finishing second in the group stage has given them another chance to make the finals through the Challenger match.
The Sixers will rely on their proven ability to bounce back, supported by the performances that carried them this far. Skipper Moises Henriques has been instrumental, accumulating 207 runs in nine innings with a strike rate of 129.37. Josh Philippe has also been dependable, contributing 179 runs at an impressive strike rate of 139.
Jordan Silk has delivered under pressure, adding 153 runs in seven innings, including a standout 57 off 44 balls in the Hurricanes clash.
On the bowling side, Ben Dwarshius has been a constant threat, taking 14 wickets while maintaining an economy rate of 8.78. He’s also proven his value with the bat, scoring 116 runs down the order with a strike rate close to 181. Jack Edwards and Hayden Kerr complete the attack, both capable of delivering game-turning spells.
SS Over/Under Betting Tips
Paterson has scores of 48, 12, 18, 9, and 32 in his last five BBL innings. The left-hander scored a valiant knock of 48 in the last match against the Hurricanes. At the SCG, he has scored 177 runs in 9 matches, averaging 23 runs per match. He will be key at the top of the order for the Sixers against a quality Thunder bowling attack, and we expect him to make a valuable contribution with the bat.
Sydney Sixers Predicted Playing XI:
Josh Philippe (wk), Kurtis Patterson, Jack Edwards, Moises Henriques (c), Jordan Silk, Lachlan Shaw, Ben Dwarshuis, Hayden Kerr, Ben Manenti, Mitchell Perry, Jafer Chohan

Sydney Thunder Preview
Sydney Thunder made full use of their home conditions to overcome the Melbourne Stars and secure a much-anticipated Challenger clash with the Sixers on Friday night. Familiarity with ENGIE Stadium's slow pitch worked to their advantage, as the Thunder's bowlers skillfully defended a modest total of 7-135 to claim a 21-run win and end the Stars' impressive comeback run.
Captain David Warner, who was dismissed for a duck in the Knockout, has been a key player this season, with 346 runs in 10 innings at a strike rate of 141.22. After a rare failure, he’ll be eager to bounce back with a standout performance in the Challenger.
Sam Billings has also been in excellent touch, scoring 208 runs in nine innings at a strike rate of 130. Meanwhile, Oliver Davies showed his ability under pressure with a crucial 36-run contribution in the Knockout.
The Thunder’s bowling lineup has been their backbone, with off-spinner Chris Green consistently delivering with 12 wickets and an economy of 7.14 in nine matches. Nathan McAndrew turned the tide in the Knockout with a stunning spell of 5-16, showcasing his ability to produce game-changing performances. Wes Agar and Tanveer Sangha add further depth to an already dependable attack.
ST Over/Under Betting Tips
Billings game changing knock of 24 runs in tough batting conditions, proved to be the difference maker against the Stars. He has looked in good touch right throughout the season playing handy cameos. Prior to this game in the three matches he has played at the SCG, Billings has scored 97 and averages 48.5.
Sydney Thunder Predicted Playing XI:
David Warner (c), Hugh Weibgen, Matthew Gilkes, Sam Billings (wk), Oliver Davies, Chris Green, George Garton, Nathan McAndrew, Tom Andrews, Wes Agar, Tanveer Sangha

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Batsmen usually enjoy the pitch at the Sydney Cricket Ground, though spinners do find their feet later in the match. With the ball coming onto the bat nicely, there's an incentive to play aggressively, particularly in the evening. Pacers who have genuine speed can get extra lift off the deck, but a bit of craftiness in their bowling is necessary for success.
The Sydney weather is on the upswing. It'll be a bit blustery with partial cloud cover, creating good conditions for the seam bowlers. Luckily, the rain should hold off, giving us every chance of a full contest.

Toss: To Bat

Winning Prediction
Sydney Sixers have had the upper hand over Sydney Thunder in their recent matchups, winning their last four completed encounters, including one earlier this season. The Thunder, though, will carry confidence from their recent Knockout win, while the Sixers are looking to recover from their Qualifier defeat. Both teams bring plenty of strength to this showdown, but the Thunder’s bowlers, especially their spinners, could make the most of the Sydney pitch and tilt the contest in their favor. This battle between two strong sides has all the makings of an exciting game.
