Analysis:
Sydney Thunders ensured the maiden defeat for Scorchers in their last outing but the former is struggling to maintain consistency in the tournament. They are at number four in the points table with three wins and as many as losses in the tournament. Jason Sangha's 56 off 46 balls and Sam Billings' 67 off 35 balls helped the team to score a mammoth total of 200 in 20-overs and simultaneously bowlers did well too to bundle out Scorchers, 34 runs before target.
Nathan McAndrew (3-wicket), 2-wicket each from Saqib Mahmood and Chris Green helped the team handing Perth their first loss of the season, and will make it to the fantasy team.
Meanwhile, Strikers have disappointed their fans with five losses and only a single victory against Melbourne Renegades in their fifth match of the season. But ever since, the team again lost two matches and must be desperate to get back their winning streak if they are eyeing to climb up the ladder. In their last outing, batters like Jake Weatherland, Matt Renshaw and Thomas Kelly performed well to give a decent defending total but bowlers failed to give regular breakthroughs which could push Hobarts at backfoot.
