Overall, Sydney Thunder have had a topsy-turvy campaign in the BBL this season. After securing a narrow win in the tournament opener, they succumbed to three consecutive defeats.
Although they made a remarkable comeback by winning their next four fixtures, they failed to sustain their momentum in the latter phase of the showpiece event.
Currently placed fourth, the Chris Green-led outfit will face Melbourne Stars in their final group stage face-off at the MCG on January 25.
