They have made some big additions to the squad and the big man Andre Russell will be featuring for them from this match. The return of Stoinis and Coulter Nile will make them a far better team for this home game. Sydney Thunder on the other hand had a complete performance in the last match against Heat.

Pitch Report

MCG is considered to be one of the most competitive surfaces in the world. It offers a fine balance between bat and ball. It is a good deck for batting while bowlers get some assistance early on with mostly genuine bounce and generally, the spinners do not get much of purchase at this venue.
