Sydney Thunder vs Perth Scorchers Betting Odds

Sydney Thunder to have a better opening partnership than Perth Scorchers

In their previous match versus Adelaide Strikers, Perth Scorchers had an underwhelming start to their innings as they lost their first wicket on the second ball of the innings. Zak Crawley and Sam Whiteman failed to lay down a proper foundation for the rest of their batting order as the latter lost his wicket rather early and ended their partnership with a single run. Cameron Bancroft and Alex Hales performed marginally better in terms of opening partnership in their last outing against Hobart Hurricanes, wherein they collaborated for 20 runs before Hales’ wicket was taken in 2.6 overs. Considering these recent outcomes, it appears likely that Sydney Thunder could establish a better first wicket partnership in the next game.
