On Saturday, November 18, Sydney Thunder and Perth Scorchers will face off in the 44th game of the Women’s Big Bash League 2023 at Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney.
Sydney Thunder who have won six of their last ten matches, are in good form and currently sit on the fourth position on the points table. Sydney Thunder lost their last game against Adelaide Strikers. Their batters other than Chamari Athapathtu didn’t perform well. Even the bowlers couldn’t impress much in that match. They need a complete team effort to be back on winning ways.
On the other hand, Perth Scorchers are having a fantastic season and are currently the table toppers. They have lost just three games so far. Scorchers have won eight out of the 11 matches they have played. They defeated Sydney Sixers in their previous match by a huge margin of 61 runs. Beth Mooney played a brilliant knock of 91 runs off 57 balls leading the team to a strong total. They bowled the Sydney Sixers on 128 runs.
Sydney Thunder needs a win to get back on track, while Perth Scorchers seem unbeaten lately.
