STW vs SYSW Match Prediction & Analysis
Sydney Thunder will take on Sydney Sixers in their last league stage match with the semi-final spot on the line. The points table is crowded at number 4 with many teams finishing with 4 points.
That means a win here will not suffice. The winning team needs a great NRR to make it to the top 4. Sydney Thunder finally bounced back after 2 back to back losses to secure their first win of the tournament in their last game at the Cricket Central in Sydney.
It is the same venue where the Sixers and Thunder will lock horns in this match. There have been two matches here so far with the team batting first winning one of these.
Sydney Sixers haven’t been great with the bat but were more consistent with their returns. Mathilda Carmichael, Erin Burns, and Kate Paterson are the key players in the middle order who could lead the Sixers to a winning total.
For Thunder, it is all up to the top 3 batters in this lineup who were exceptional in their recent outing leading the side to a 183-run score batting first.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Sydney Thunder Preview
They lost their first two matches. Their performances in those games were poor and no one looked particularly promising in either department. There was one exception.
Opening batter Georgia Voll scored 42 off 25 balls in the opening game and looked in great touch. But she failed to make an impact in the next game. However, the good news for Sydney Thunder Women is how the others around her stepped up in the last match to lead the batting effort.
Skipper Tahlia Wilson scored 81 and the number 3 batter Anika Learoyd smashed 61 off 37 balls. Learoyd had built an impressive partnership with Voll in the opening game.
These 3 batters have all the responsibility in the batting lineup. They’ve got no finishers who can come in at the death and smash some big ones out of the park. For Thunder, long partnerships are key to a big total.
In their first two games, Thunder were outplayed in the bowling too. They lost the opening match by 9 wickets and the next one by 7. There are a great many options in the bowling department.
Taneale Peschel, Samantha Bates, and Hannah Darlington look promising with the ball and should deliver some quality spells in this game. Opening batter Georgia Voll is also handy with the ball and can deliver a couple of tight overs without giving away many runs.
Sydney Thunder Predicted Playing XI:
Tahlia Wilson (c & wk), Georgia Voll, Anika Learoyd, Claire Moore, Georgia Adams, Ella Briscoe, Sammy-Jo Johnson, Hannah Darlington, Sienna Eve, Taneale Peschel, Samantha Bates

Sydney Sixers Preview
Sydney Sixers haven’t crossed the 160-run mark once in this tournament. They batted first twice in 3 matches and scored 130-5 and 147-5. Their highest total of the tournament came while chasing a 173-run target in the opening match as they finished with 159-5.
Their only win came while defending a 147-run total. It was by a very narrow margin of 3 runs. Overall, the batting hasn’t been great. Nonetheless, the middle-order players have been consistent even if they couldn’t convert their starts into something bigger.
Erin Burns, Mathilda Carmichael, and Kate Patterson are the key players who’ve made handy contributions but failed to make it big. We reckon these 3 hold the key to a competitive score for Sydney Sixers Women.
Both openers have also delivered an impressive knock each but haven’t been consistent. They can’t be counted out on of their inconsistency.
They’ve got the potential for a 50+ score and if they at least deliver a solid start at the top, the middle-order can take it further and post a big total. The bowling is where the Sixers fall behind in this contest.
They’ve got variety but no consistent or promising players. The bowlers have been expensive and wicketless. It was only in their win that a few bowlers delivered match-winning spells. Juliette Morton, Frankie Nicklin, and Caoimhe Bray are the wicket-taking bowlers to watch out for.
Sydney Sixers Predicted Playing XI:
Kate Pelle (wk), Elsa Hunter, Mathilda Carmichael (c), Erin Burns, Kate Peterson, Caoimhe Bray, Courtney Grace Sippel, Frankie Nicklin, Eva Ragg, Lucy Finn, Isabella Malgioglio

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be a clear and sunny day in Sydney with a high of 21 degrees Celsius. It looks like a great day for cricket with the match being scheduled for the morning. The weather will not affect the playing conditions and it will be up which roller is used on the pitch that day.
STW vs SYSW Pitch Report
There haven’t been a lot of matches here. Of the total 3 games played at this venue, it was only in the SYT vs PRS match that we saw a 160+ score as the Thunder Women posted 183 for 3. The other two games were low-scoring affairs. Teams struggled to chase a small total here. The average 1st innings score here is 136 runs and for a match-winning total, we reckon, the team batting first should look for something over 165-170.
Toss: To Bowl
Of the 3 matches played here, teams bowling first have won 2. Moreover, the Sixers could rely on the middle order to chase down a target rather than hoping for an inconsistent bowling attack to defend a total. SYT have recently won a match at this venue while batting first and will back themselves to repeat it.
STW vs SYSW
Winning Prediction
Sydney Thunder Women were impressive only in the last game. They were outplayed by the opposition in their previous outings. Sydney Sixers look better in that regard to have fought well with the bat. However, the Sixers have a poor bowling record so far. SYT are coming off a big win. It is a close call between the two teams. SYT Women will have a slight edge going into this match and will start as favorites in our match prediction.
