THU vs SCO Big Bash League Fantasy Prediction: Sydney Thunder vs Perth Scorchers – 22 December 2020 (Canberra). The Thunder would like to get their second win, whereas the Scorchers are in search of their first win.

Sydney Thunder will take on Perth Scorchers in the League Match of BBL 10, aka Big Bash League which, will be played at the Manuka Oval in Canberra. The premier T20 competition of Australia is finally here.

Sydney Thunder won their last game convincingly and would aim for a second straight win. Daniel Sams proved his class in the last game, whereas the whole batting unit looks solid as well. The arrival of Adam Milne is going to be a big boost for this side. This side looks pretty much settled on the paper.

Perth Scorchers played fabulously in the last game, but the rain became their enemy. The batting form of Munro & Clarke is a big plus for this side, whereas Jhye Richardson has been bowling well. This game is going to be an important one for the Scorchers.

Both of them played brilliantly in the previous game and would like to maintain their form.

THU vs SCO Team All-Rounders
