For the 33rd fixture of the BBL 14 season, Sydney Thunder will square off with Perth Scorchers on January 13, 2025. The big game will be hosted at Sydney Showground Stadium from 2.00 PM IST.

Sydney Thunder

Sydney Thunder were leading the table before they lost their previous fixture against Hobart Hurricanes. Despite David Warner’s fighting 88 off 66 balls, the Thunder posted 164 runs on board, which were never enough. Tim David’s blazing 68 off 38 balls steered the Hurricanes to a six-wicket victory in 16.5 overs. That being said, despite the loss, the Thunder are in a good place. They are seated in top 3, favourites to qualify for the playoffs.

Perth Scorchers

On the flip side, Perth Scorchers are down to fifth position in the points table. They also lost their last game against the Sydney Sixers. The Sixers posted a gigantic total of 220 runs courtesy of Steve Smith’s extraordinary 121 off just 64 balls. In the chase, the Scorchers flattered under the pressure of the required run rate. Ashton Turner’s half-century went to waste as the Scorchers lost the game by 14 runs. The Scorchers need to pick up pace to catch up to the playoff race. The bowling department must take responsibility in the upcoming game against the Thunder.

THU vs SCO: What happened when they last played?

Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder faced each other in the 22nd fixture of the ongoing Big Bash League 2024-25 season. Perth batted first to put 177 runs on the board, which looked like a decent total. Finn Allen ended up being the highest contributor with 68 off 31 balls. However, Sydney Thunder made a mockery of the target. 

David Warner and Matthew Gilkes knitted an 89-run partnership for the second wicket before Sherfane Rutherford carried forward the momentum. He slammed a quick 39 off 19 balls. With 15 needed off the last over, Rutherford calmed his nerves and slammed three boundaries to seal a nervy four-wicket victory for Thunder.
