Following two consecutive defeats, the team redeemed itself by winning five of its next seven matches. They are heading into the Sunday game on the back of a six-wicket win over Melbourne Stars. It was a fine batting performance by the team. They chased the score of 174 runs in 19.5 overs to occupy the second place in the points table.

There was a massive dip in the performance of the team as they lost their next three games. However, the franchise is now on a four-match winning streak. Sydney Thunder smacked the defending champion Perth Scorchers in their last game by six wickets. 

Playing on Sunday, both teams will have momentum on their side. Thus, it will be exciting to see which side managed to leapfrog the other on the field.

The English opening batter Alex Hales is playing a key role in Sydney Thunder’s success in the tournament. The batter is in phenomenal form in the league. He is leading the run-scoring charts for Thunder with 245 runs in eight matches at an average of 35. It was a heartbreaking dismissal for Hales in Thunder’s last match against Perth Scorchers. The opening batter bagged a four-ball duck because of a peach of a delivery by Jhye Richardson. The 34-year-old must be gutted by his poor performance in the last game and will be pumped up to do well against the Sydney Sixers to help his team climb up the points table.
