As was visible in the recent match against the Sixers, the Scorchers’ have a multitude of match-winners in their batting and bowling line-up: Kurtis Patterson, Colin Munro, Aaron Hardie, Andrew Tye to name a few, that could get the job done at Carrara Oval. And it’s not like the Thunders’ are to be considered a weak side, for they have capitalized on the momentum which they gained since the win over the Scorchers in their previous matchup. Not to mention Alex Hales’ coming back to the side could pose a threat to the Scorchers. However, Scorchers look well-rounded for this feud.
