THU vs SCO Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for BBL 2021-22, Match 24
The 24th match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2021-22 has the Sydney Thunder (THU) hosting the Perth Scorchers (SCO) at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on Tuesday.
The Sydney Thunder have blown hot and cold in the BBL and head into the clash on the back of a loss to arch-rivals Sydney Sixers. Chris Green and co. will be keen to return to winning ways, but come across a rampant Perth Scorchers side who are yet to taste defeat this season. With a well-balanced side and an in-form Mitchell Marsh to fall back on, the Scorchers will start as favorites. But with home conditions and a resourceful bowling attack in their ranks, the Thunder should fancy their chances in this much-awaited clash.

Date and Time: 28th December 2021, 1:45 PM IST
Venue: Manuka Oval, Canberra
Pitch Report
The Manuka Oval should present a decent batting track with the bowlers also likely to get some movement off the surface. With this being an evening fixture, the ball should skid on nicely to the bat under the lights. The pacers will ideally look to take the pace off as the match progresses, a tactic that will define the outcome of the game. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams likely to prefer chasing upon winning the toss.

Wicketkeeper
Josh Inglis: Although Josh Inglis hasn't taken off in the BBL, he did score some runs in his previous outing against the Renegades. Inglis has been in fine form throughout the year and would be keen to get back among the runs, making for a fine addition to your THU vs SCO Dream11 fantasy team.
Batter
Alex Hales: Alex Hales is another batter who is due for a big one in the BBL this season. Hales has been one of the best batters in the league over the last few seasons with his explosive batting ability serving the Sydney Thunder well. Watch out for his big-hitting prowess in the powerplay overs, which could make or break the game for the Sydney Thunder.
All-rounder
Daniel Sams: Daniel Sams has been the Thunder's go-to all-rounder, coming up with wickets and quick runs on a consistent basis. He has also been in decent form coming into the game, making him a good addition to your THU vs SCO Dream11 fantasy team alongside talk-of-the-town, Mitchell Marsh.
Bowler
Tymal Mills: Tymal Mills has been bang on the money for the Scorchers, using his variations and raw pace to good effect. Given the expected conditions at the Manuka Oval, Mills should prove to be a handful for the Thunder batters and pick up a wicket or two in the process.
