Show Preview

A finals spot is on the line when the Sydney Thunder host the Perth Scorchers at the Sydney Showground Stadium on Sunday. Join The Roar for all the action with live scores and a blog of the match from 2:45pm (AEDT).

After a loss to the Hobart Hurricanes on Friday evening, the Thunder must now win on Sunday to secure a spot in the finals series.

Another brilliant batting effort by Alex Hales was not enough in the 185-run chase, as the Thunder were bowled out for just 128.

In the second game of Friday’s double-header, Perth lost to the Adelaide Strikers by 16 runs, unable to chase the 181-run total on a great deck. Liam Livingstone was on fire again with 79 runs from 54 deliveries, however no other Scorcher put more than 20 runs on the board.

Sydney have kept the same 13-man squad from the loss to the Hurricanes.

The Perth Scorchers have made one change to their side ahead of this game. South African Morne Morkel replaces Englishman Chris Jordan, who departs for national duties.

The sides met just last week in Perth. The Scorchers were too good that night, chasing down 154 runs to win by eight wickets.

Alex Hales muscled an impressive 85 from 59 deliveries to help Sydney put 153 runs on the board, but openers Josh Inglis and Liam Livingstone destroyed the total in 15 overs.
