Perth Scorchers is the favorite to win this match.
Sydney Thunder and Perth Scorchers were tied for first place in the standings after their earlier-mentioned victory. However, over the previous ten days, other teams have caught up to and passed Thunder, and they must win to keep their campaign from regressing. Thunder’s batting could improve with the addition of David Warner, but they are playing the greatest team in the tournament. Overall, we think Perth Scorchers will win again.
