Sydney Sixers vs Sydney Thunder Predictions

  • Sydney Sixers have won their last 2 matches.
  • Sydney Sixers’ Steven Smith has scored 100+ & 50+ in his last 2 BBL matches.
  • Sydney Sixers have won their last 4 matches against the Sydney Thunder.
  • Sydney Thunder have lost 2 of their last 4 completed BBL matches.
  • Sydney Thunder’s David Warner has scored 86*, 49, 50 & 88* runs in 4 of his last 5 matches.

Head to Head


The Sydney Sixers have won their last four matches against the Sydney Thunder. Earlier this season, in December 2024, the Sixers won by five wickets off the final ball of the match.

Sydney Sixers Form


The Sydney Sixers are currently top of the table ahead of the Hobart Hurricanes on net run rate. However, that could change by the time this fixture starts.

The Sixers have won six of their nine games, losing two along with one no result. They beat the Adelaide Strikers in their last fixture away from home by seven wickets off the penultimate ball of the match.

Chasing 183 to win, the Sixers started with the loss of two early wickets. Steven Smith, however, stood firm after his century in the previous game to score 52 runs. Lachlan Shaw and Ben Dwarshuis secured the victory at the end with 30+ scores.

Josh Philippe’s form at the top of the order will be a concern for the Sixers, but Steven Smith’s arrival has been a breath of fresh air.

Sydney Thunder Form


Sydney Thunder are third on the BBL table and have already secured their playoff spot. However, should they win this derby, their final round robin game of the season, they will go level with the Sixers on points.

The Thunder scored 158 batting first in their last outing against the Perth Scorchers. Sam Konstas top scored with 53 runs but none of the other top six managed more than 10 runs.

The result was secured early on through some superb bowling by the Sixers. Chris Green took 3-13 in four overs as the Scorchers were all out for 97 runs.

The playoff spot is confirmed but victory here will guarantee the Thunder a top two finish, so I don’t expect them to change too much.

Verdict

The Sixers have won their last two BBL games and have a dominant record against the Thunder. I am going with that form for the win and Steven Smith to top score for the Sixers.

On the side of the Thunder, David Warner is backed to score runs again.
