Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game at the Carrara Oval, the pitch is a touch on the slower side. The pacers will get the ball to move around viciously in the first few overs, after which the batters should feel a bit comfortable. There should be some turn available for the spinners as well, making for a tough phase in the middle overs for the batters. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 150 being a good total at the Carrara Oval.
Today’s SCO vs THU Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Cameron Bancroft: Although Cameron Bancroft has failed to get going in the BBL, the Perth opener has been in fairly good form over the last few months. Apart from his obvious batting potential, Bancroft is a decent wicketkeeper as well, making him a handy pick in your SCO vs THU Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Alex Hales: Alex Hales is set to return to the Thunder line-up after missing out on a couple of games. The explosive opener is due for a big knock at the top of the order and given the conditions on offer, Hales is one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounder
Daniel Sams: Daniel Sams has been consistent with the ball in hand, but his batting hasn't really taken off this season. However, his skill-set provides a lot of depth and balance to the Thunder unit, making him a must-have in your SCO vs THU Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Andrew Tye: Andrew Tye has been bang on the money this season with 16 wickets in nine games. The Perth Scorchers pacer has been brilliant with his variations and his death-bowling skills, which should hold him in good stead and help him pick up a wicket or two in this game as well.
