Thunder captain David Warner has the Thunder on his back with losses to some key member of his team throughout BBL14. Arguably one of the greatest T20 players of all time, Warner has enjoyed having the success of the Thunder as his only focus this year reading the league in runs while playing fewer games than his rivals. 

Perth have not been able to slow down the run scoring of their opposition this season and it has them on the brink of missing the playoffs. 

With Perth’s bowling under question and the form of Warner, expect this game to be explosive with plenty of runs and the Thunder potentially ending the Scorchers season.

  • David Warner Leads the BBL with 316 runs.

Sydney Thunder Form


Another captain’s knock of 88*  runs for David Warner against the Hobart Hurricanes wasn’t enough to lead his Sydney Thunder to victory at Bellerive Oval, once again not having the supporting staff to go with him.

The total of 164 runs was always going to be hard to defend in Hobart and it took the Hurricanes just 16.5 overs to get there with 6 wickets in hand.

Despite 2 straight losses, the Thunder still find themselves in third in the Standings and right in the hunt for the finals. David Warner has been a one man wrecking show in BBL14. The former Aussie opener has averaged 68.25 runs per game in his past 4 matches and leads the BBL with 316 runs from 7 matches.

Perth Scorchers Form


The Scorchers are hanging in their in fifth position in the standings despite suffering three-straight defeats, with the latest coming at the hands of of a Steve Smith Special, scoring 121* runs for the Sydney Sixers on Saturday, handing Perth an unreachable target of 220 runs at the SCG.

There was fight in the Scorchers though, who were always in with a chance, reaching 206/7 at the end of their 20 overs.

Perth are simply giving up too many boundaries in the field averaging 13.4 fours and 7 sixes against them in their past 5 matches. To make matters worse, they will now be without Jhye Richardson, who has opted to undergo shoulder surgery and will miss the rest of the summer.
