Sydney Cricket Ground Pitch Report:
On this surface, batters believe they have a greater advantage against bowlers. Given the ideal batting circumstances that have resulted in a few high-scoring matches this season, bowling is not an easy task. In all three full matches, the teams batting first scored more than 160 runs. It is possible to chase anything under 200, but it takes work to go over that amount.

| No Result | 02 |
SIX vs THU Predicted Playing XI:
Sydney Sixers Probable Squad: Jack Edwards, Jordan Silk, Lachlan Shaw, Ben Dwarshuis, Hayden Kerr, Ben Manenti, Mitchell Perry, Jafer Chohan, Kurtis Patterson, Josh Philippe (wk), and Moises Henriques (c).
Sydney Thunder Probable Squad: Oliver Davies, George Garton, Chris Green, Nathan McAndrew, Tom Andrews, Was Agar, Tanveer Sangha, Hugh Weibgen, Matthew Gilkes, Sam Billings (wk), and David Warner (c).
The Thunder must do something exceptional this time to advance to the summit matchup since they have lost their last six full head-to-head games versus the Sixers.
