Preview:
The free-falling Thunder have now lost three matches in succession and while they remain fourth in overall standings, they simply need to win if they are any chance of making it into the finals. To add insult to injury, all-rounder Chris Green has been banned from bowling after being reported for an illegal action, and they will need to find an appropriate replacement for four overs each match.
The Hurricanes have been anything but consistent, but under the right conditions they have shown glimpses of brilliance and I think that they will get that in the west of Sydney. Happy to take them at just under even money.
