Team Previews

Sydney Thunder

The Sydney Thunder have had a terrible season. They have lost seven of their nine matches and are currently in the last position on the points ladder.

They had played well in patches but failed to cease the game's prime moments in most matches. They will look to get the best of this match, win it, and try to climb up the ladder before the season ends.

Melbourne Renegades

Much like their opponents, the Renegades have also had a terrible season. They have won only two of their nine games while losing six. They are just a spot ahead of the Thunder in the points table.

The Renegades have not been able to display the best of their cricketing skills in the tournament. Their batting and bowling have looked sub-par; thus, they are in the seventh spot. However, come the last game, the Renegades will look to win it and avoid finishing at the bottom of the table.
