Aus T20 League 2021

Match 20: THU vs SIX

Sixers and Thunders will clash in match 20 of the Aus T20 League 2021 on Thursday at the Sydney Showground Stadium. With 2 wins in 4 games, Sixers have had an average season so far. They, however, will be heading into this game with a lot of confidence after a comprehensive 53 run win against the Heat in their previous tie. Sixers on the other hand have been on a roll at the moment. The reigning champions are currently placed at the second position with 14 points under their kitty. 

Thunders moderate form thus far has stuttered them to fifth place. They have a slightly inexperienced batting order and that can prove to be a pivotal factor against the Sixers who have a quality new ball attack. Sam Billings will hold the key for the thunders batting. He is in excellent ball striking form and we hope the English International continues his dream run. Alex Ross is the other batter to watch out for. With 159 runs under his belt, the 29 year old is the second highest run getter for Thunders this season. Saqib Mahmood and Tanveer Sangha will lead the bowling charge for the men in green. Mahmood who played his first game of the season against the Heat impressed everyone with his skills and variations with ball in hand. 

Sixers possess experience right throughout their lineup and thus are far more equipped to hold their nerve in crunch situations. Batting lineup has the likes of Josh Philippe, James Vince and Moises Henriques in their ranks who are more than proficient to single handedly take the opposition away from the game. Sean Abott will be the mainstay of the Sixers bowling attack. H.Kerr, B.Maneti, Steve O'Keefe will be the other bowlers to keep an eye on. To add to their already strong unit, the defending champions have now roped in Shadab Khan, who will add to their already strong spin department. Placed at the second spot, Sixers have to do a drastic job from here to not qualify for playoffs. Ahead of this enthralling tie, let us have a look at how these teams will shape up in Sunday's encounter.
