Sydney Thunder Team News & Playing 11
THU Team News
There are no players returning from injury to come and help Sydney Thunder out of their current poor run of form. With the exception of Daniel Sams, the whole team underperformed against Hobart Hurricanes and they particularly need more from their batters in this clash.
THU Key Players
- David Warner- with scores of 19 and zero since coming back into the side after international duty, Warner has not yet hit the heights expected of a player of his stature.
- Oliver Davies- the 22 year old has gone past 300 runs in BBL 12 and continues to impress. He hit 33 not out in the reverse fixture in Melbourne before Christmas.
- Daniel Sams- the left-arm pace bowling all-rounder was in fine form against the Hurricanes. He comes into this game after dismissing Caleb Jewell, Zak Crawley, Matthew Wade and Asif Ali in the last match.
Sydney Thunder are hoping to avoid their fourth successive defeat in BBL 2023. Their last victory came against Perth Scorchers in Match 29.

Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing 11
REN Team News
The experienced Pakistan spinner Fawad Ahmed felt a slight problem in his knee during the last game but is expected to be available to play in this fixture after some treatment. After winning the Melbourne derby in their last match, we expect the Renegades to be unchanged for this clash.
REN Key Players
- Sam Harper- the keeper-batter has found some excellent form over recent weeks. He has hit 230 runs at a strike-rate of 157.53 across the tournament.
- Tom Rogers- the pace bowler has kept up with BBL legendary bowlers like Sean Abbott and Andrew Tye at the top of the wicket takers list in this campaign. He took 2-45 in the Melbourne derby.
- Kane Richardson- the experienced international took the Player of the Match award in the win over Melbourne Stars. He dismissed dangerman Joe Clarke and James Seymour.
The Renegades have had good runs and bad runs during this campaign but come into this match after winning three of their last four fixtures.
