Match Preview for Dream11 Fantasy:

As the caravan of the Big Bash League approaches its business end, Perth Scorchers will play host to Sydney Thunder at the Perth Stadium as they aim to shrug off the ignominy of the ten-run loss at the hands of table-toppers Melbourne Stars, after they failed to chase down the total of 6-141.

They will now face Sydney Thunder, who comes into this game on the back of a four-run-win (DLS) at the expense of Sixers. The win was set-up by the pace-bowling duo of Chris Morris and Daniel Sams, who claimed five-wicket between them. The Thunder was required to chase down 75 runs as per the revised DLS start, but the consistent spells of rain that savaged the ground in the fifth over of their innings meant the game was called-off with them being ahead of the par-total.
