The fast bowlers will get more purchase on this wicket where it will be tricky for the batters to tackle them. Going with the previous stats we can predict it will not be a high-scoring contest. Teams batting first will have an upper hand for sure.

Pre-Match Analysis:
Sydney Thunder got outplayed again by Brisbane Heat in the away fixture by 15 runs to suffer their 3rd loss in the tournament. After getting thrashed in the early overs they pulled things back to bowl Brisbane out for 172 runs where seasoned campaigner Daniel Sams got the first 5-fer in this edition of the BBL. However, their middle order again didn’t fire when it mattered despite a good start from their openers Cameron Bancroft and Alex Hales. Their bowling department is well settled having Daniel Sams, Jason Sangha, and Gurinder Sandhu who all bring variety, but they miss Zaman Khan who departed to join the Pakistan camp to prepare for the upcoming New Zealand tour. Right now, misfiring middle order has been a huge concern for them. They sit 7th in the standings with 2 points.
Sydney Sixers’ 3-match winning streak came to an end with a 4-wicket loss to Melbourne Stars on Boxing Day. James Vince was the stand-out performer who made 83 off 55 balls, which guided the Sixers to a competitive score of 154 and it required something special from the opposition, it was Hilton Cartwright who smoked an unbeaten 47* to hand the Sixers their first loss. Currently, they sit 3rd in the standings with 6 points.
