Notably, the high-octane game will be played on Monday, January 6.

After winning their first couple of games of the season, they were defeated thrice in a row. As for the Thunder, other than a nail-biting thriller which ended up as a defeat, they have won all the remaining games.

Probable Top Performers

Probable Best Batter: David Warner

After a match-winning 86*, the prolific former Australia opener David Warner was unlucky to miss out on a half-century in the previous game. He could be anticipated to carry forward the momentum.

Probable Best Bowler: Lockie Ferguson

The right-arm quick has been wicketless in the past couple of games. It could be expected that Lockie Ferguson will bring his vast experience to the table and bowl like he normally does, thereby making life difficult for the batters in the upcoming BBL fixture.
