237 | 4941 | 101 | 30.12 | 126.01 | 2/21 |
Sean Abbott in T20
He claimed only 1 wicket in last game which seems an underachievement as before that he had claimed 3 wickets in each of his previous 3 games. He has 20 wickets this season and is the team’s leading wicket-taker. He is a must in the team.

THU Playing 11
- The Thunder have added Gurinder Sandhu and Toby Gray in the squad for this game.
- Matthew Gilkes and David Warner will open the innings. Warner hasn’t clicked yet but he should get an extended run considering his credentials. Oliver Davies failed in last game but that shouldn’t affect his number 3 slot as he has been in good form.
- Daniel Sams and Chris Green are the crucial bowlers.
