THU vs SCO T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2024
Sydney Thunder and Perth Scorchers face off in Match 30 of the 2023/24 Big Bash League on Monday evening at the Sydney Showground Stadium. Thunder have won one and lost four of their six matches so far in the campaign with the Scorchers winning four and losing one of their six. Read on as we preview this fixture. The match begins at 19:15 local time.
With no win since Christmas, Sydney Thunder continue to struggle in this year’s BBL and they were well beaten by Hobart Hurricanes in their last game. However, with Perth Scorchers defeated by a large margin in their last match, this could be a good time to play them.
Perth Scorchers do not lose many BBL fixtures and over the last few years have always bounced back with a victory. It was a very poor performance from them against Adelaide Strikers on Friday and we expect them to respond with a much better showing.

THU vs SCO Match Toss Prediction
It is often tough to say what a good score is at this venue so we expect that both sides will want to see the other bat first and we predict the captains will choose to field first if they win the toss.
THU vs SCO Pitch Report
This is one of the slower wickets on offer in this year’s BBL and the batters can not expect the ball to come onto the bat with good pace. A par score is expected to be no higher than 160.
Sydney Weather Report
There could be some rain earlier in the day in Sydney but dry conditions are forecast on Monday evening. Humidity levels will be above 70% throughout

Sydney Thunder Team News & Playing 11
THU Team News
An additional batter is expected to be selected for Sydney Thunder for this game as their top six are generally not producing enough runs at the moment. Jason Sangha is the man who is most likely to come in with Liam Hatcher to drop out of the XI.
THU Key Players
- Cameron Bancroft- the keeper-batter is one of only five batters to have hit over 200 runs so far in this year’s competition. With David Warner’s Test retirement, the 31 year old is hopeful for a recall.
- Tom Kohler-Cadmore- the 29 year old England hopeful was run-out without facing a ball against the Hurricanes! However, he has a strong white ball record with over 4400 T20 runs.
- Daniel Sams- the left-arm pacer dismissed the dangerous Macalister Wright in the last match after he had hit three sixes and now has 11 wickets in this campaign.
- Chris Green- the skipper went wicketless in the New Year’s Day defeat to Hobart Hurricanes but top scored with the bat when he made 33 not out.
THU Team Form
Sydney Thunder have been beaten in all but one of their completed BBL games so far this season and lost by 7 wickets in their last match.
Sydney Thunder Predicted Playing 11
Cameron Bancroft (wk), Alex Hales, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Oliver Davies, Alex Ross, Jason Sangha, Daniel Sams, Nathan McAndrew, Chris Green (c), Gurinder Sandhu, Tanveer Sangha
Perth Scorchers Team News & Playing 11
SCO Team News
Changes at the top of the order are expected for Perth Scorchers with Sam Whiteman likely to drop out after being bowled first ball against Adelaide Strikers. In his place we expect the Middlesex captain Stephen Eskinazi to come into the team.
SCO Key Players
- Aaron Hardie- the captain and number three batter came to the crease after two balls in the last match and struck three sixes in his 35 runs from 27 balls.
- Josh Inglis- the keeper-batter maintained his strong form by top scoring in the defeat against the Strikers with an innings which included two fours and two sixes.
- Lance Morris- the right-arm fast bowler picked up the only wicket for the Scorchers in the last game and his pace is enough to trouble the best batters on any surface.
- Jason Behrendorff- the tall left-arm pacer was uncharacteristically expensive against the Strikers and went wicketless but he has been in brilliant form over the last 12 months.
SCO Team Form
Perth Scorchers were well beaten by Adelaide Strikers but had won each of their four previous games in the BBL 2023-24.
Perth Scorchers Predicted Playing 11
Zak Crawley, Sam Whiteman, Aaron Hardie (c), Josh Inglis (wk), Laurie Evans, Cooper Connolly, Ashton Agar, Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Lance Morris

Who will win Sydney Thunder vs Perth Scorchers T20 Match?

🏆 Sydney Thunder vs Perth Scorchers Prediction
Apart from one victory over Melbourne Stars, Sydney Thunder have been very disappointing across the 2023/24 BBL and they are up against the current champions and one of the best sides over the last few years in the competition. However, the Scorchers suffered a surprise defeat in their last match and it will be interesting to see how they respond. Our prediction is that Perth Scorchers will bounce back with a much improved performance and we are backing them to win.
