Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat are two of the four clubs at the bottom of the standings with two points as of this writing. In fact, Thunder, who are now in the ninth position, have the poorest Net-Run-Rate in the field as a result of their 15 all out at this venue. However, Thunder’s batting has significantly improved since their first appearance at this venue, thus we anticipate them to bat well. We anticipate a close game, with Sydney Thunder coming out on top.
