Sydney Thunder Form

The Thunders have had a hot and cold season so far. They have performed exceptionally well in a few of their games but in others, they have been dreadful. They are sitting in sixth place in the table with only two wins to their name in five games. They recorded the lowest total in an innings by scoring just 15 runs in their second game against Adelaide. They lost three games on the trot before winning the game against Heats. Sydney will be looking to emulate the same performance in the reverse fixture.
