It’s derby day in Sydney, and cricket fans are in for a treat as Sydney Thunder Women (ST-W) take on Sydney Sixers Women (SS-W) at the Drummoyne Oval on Sunday, November 17. With both teams looking to make a statement, this promises to be an intense clash.

Sydney Thunder Women

The Thunder Women are having a season to remember. Sitting comfortably on top of the points table with five wins out of seven games, they’re showing everyone just how dominant they can be. Their recent seven-wicket win over Perth Scorchers was nothing short of impressive. Chasing a target of 171, Thunder sailed through with an over to spare.

Georgia Voll was the star with the bat, smashing a brilliant 97* off 56 balls — a performance that was pure class. The bowling attack wasn’t far behind, either. Taneale Peschel shone with figures of 3/28, and Shabnim Ismail chipped in with two wickets to keep the Scorchers in check. Thunder’s game plan? Stick to what’s been working, and bring that winning energy into the derby.

Sydney Sixers Women

The Sixers Women have had a mixed bag this season, holding the sixth spot on the points table with three wins from seven outings. Their last match against Brisbane Heat ended in a 12-run loss, and it wasn’t for lack of trying on the bowling front. Amelia Kerr was on fire, claiming four wickets, while Sophie Ecclestone and Ashleigh Gardner each picked up two, restricting Brisbane Heat to 139.

However, the Sixers’ batters couldn’t cash in on the solid bowling performance. Star opener Alyssa Healy managed just 1, and captain Ellyse Perry followed suit with the same disappointing score. The rest of the lineup couldn’t find their rhythm, either, leaving the Sixers to rue missed opportunities. They’ll be hoping to turn things around in this derby and give their fans a reason to cheer.
