Pitch Report :
The Sydney Showground Stadium pitch is generally bowler-friendly, offering pace and bounce for the seamers. Spinners may find grip as the match progresses. But we had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. Both teams are likely to opt for batting first, aiming to set a competitive par total.
The average first innings scored here is 158 runs.
Weather Report :
The temperature is expected to hover around 30°C on the Wednesday withv52% humidity and 8 km/hr wind speed. There is 5% chance of precipitation during the game.
Probable XI :
Sydney Thunder :
Cameron Bancroft, David Warner (c), Jason Sangha, Oliver Davies, Sam Billings (wk), Matthew Gilkes, Dan Christian, Chris Green, Daniel Sams, Tanveer Sangha, Wes Agar.
Melbourne Stars :
Sam Harper (wk), Thomas Rogers, Dan Lawrence, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis (c), Joe McKenzie, Hilton Cartwright, Usama Mir, Joel Paris, Brody Couch, Peter Siddle.
Preview :
Sydney Thunder (SYT) will take on Melbourne Stars (MLS) in the Knockout of the BBL 2024-25. This match will be played at Sydney Showground Stadium. It's do-or-die time for both sides as the third-placed Thunder host the fourth-placed Stars in the BBL 14 Knockout final. Melbourne Stars finished fourth in the table with five wins in ten matches. On the other hand, Thunder came third with five wins in ten matches.
Leg-spinner Toby Gray and batter Blake Nikitaras come into the Thunder's 14-player squad with Dan Christian making way while teenage star Sam Konstas has departed for national duties ahead of Sri Lanka tour. For Melbourne Stars, Peter Handscomb comes straight into the squad in place of the allrounder Webster. Batter Campbell Kellaway also returns in the squad.
Melbourne Stars have booked their first BBL finals appearance since 2019-20 after recovering from a 0-5 start to win their last five games. It has been a remarkable turn around and Maxwell has had a huge part to play in it. They will be looking to put up a good show. On the other hand, Thunder have been hit by plenty of injuries and unavailablities but captain Warner knows how to win the championships and he will without doubt look to lead the side into the finals.
