Thunder target five on the bounce

After losing their opening game, Sydney Thunder have gone on to win the next four games on the spin.

Their latest success came in the derby clash against the Sydney Sixers, winning by 18 runs to cement their place at the top of the ladder.

After winning the toss and deciding to bat, the Thunder made a solid total of 158-6, with Heather Knight scoring 50 runs off 31 deliveries.

The Thunder have won the last two meetings against the Scorchers on home soil, and will be hoping to make it three at Drummoyne Oval.

Scorchers look to bounce back

Perth Scorchers face back-to-back games against the Thunder and the double-header could go a long way towards deciding their fate as they chase the top four.

Following a 72-run loss against Hobart Hurricanes on Sunday, the Scorchers need to bounce back to winning ways.

They were underdone by a masterclass from Lizelle Lee who finished on 150 not-out as the Hurricanes finished on 203-3.

The Scorchers got nowhere near with the run chase and were dismissed for 131.

Chloe Ainsworth was Perth’s stand-out player when scoring 41 runs after earlier taking 2-17 off her four overs.

The Scorchers will have to overcome their travel sickness and raise their game if they are to turn over the Thunder in their own backyard.
