Check out the predicted Sydney Thunders’ Playing XI as they face Perth Scorchers in the BBL 2024-25. The Sydney Thunder are all set to face off against the Perth Scorchers in the 33rd game of the Big Bash League 2024-25, slated to take place on January 13 at the Sydney Showground, New South Wales, Australia. The THU side is currently in the third spot with four wins and three defeats and will be looking to win this game, as a victory in this forthcoming encounter can make them lead the charts.

The side heads into this game after suffering defeat against Hobart Hurricanes by six wickets in the last encounter. They will look to mark their return in this game after suffering a crushing defeat in their previous encounter. Here is the probable playing XI of the Sydney Thunder for their clash against the Perth Scorchers.

Openers:  

The two star players will aim to provide Thunder with a strong start in this game. Sam Konstas has returned to the side after being called up to play the last two Test matches against Team India. However, he failed to impress as he was dismissed for just four runs in the previous game. On the other hand, Warner seems to be in great form. The THU captain has made an unbeaten 88 off 66 balls, featuring seven boundaries, in the last game against HUR.

Batters:  

Matthew Gilkes needs to step up in this game after departing for a single-digit in the last encounter. Wicketkeeper batter Sam Billings needs to mark his impact in the game. He has just made 28 runs in the last thriller. In addition, Oliver Davies, who was the opener in the last few games in the absence of Konstas, has returned to the number four spot, having made 17 off 17 balls in the last game.

All-rounders: 

Chris Green has eight wickets to his name and is the highest wicket-taker of the side. He will be looking to maintain his great form heading into this game with both bat and ball. On the other hand, Christian is one of the best performers from the side, alongside Tom Andrews. The all-rounders in the THU squad are true match-winners and game-changers.

Bowlers:  

Lockie Ferguson has picked up nine wickets in the league so far and seems one of the best bowlers from the side. The right-arm pacer will be looking to continue his great form heading into this game and aims to crush the SCO batting lineup. On the other hand, Agar has been an exceptional bowler for the side, while Hasnain can pose a big threat to SCO heading into the next game.
