These are the final few matches left before the semifinals and still, 2 teams haven’t been decided. This is the level of competition faced in this edition of the Big Bash. The match is going to be played at Sydney Cricket Ground, SCG so expecting a high scoring match.
Both the teams have two matches left before the semifinals. Sixers need to win one out of their two games while Thunders need to win both the games and wait for other teams to lose in order to qualify. Sixers are in good mental space as they have finally found their best playing XI and it will be crucial for their coming matches. While the Thunders would be hoping for a better show from their previous match against Melbourne Renegades who have qualified for the playoffs, Watson needs to more consistent with the bat as baring him and Callum Ferguson, none other player has provided a match-winning contribution so far. Both the teams have announced unchanged squad for this encounter.
