Sydney Thunder, meanwhile, are in the 2nd position with 4 wins in 7 games. They have won their last 3 games.

SCO vs THU Dream11 Prediction: Top Captaincy Picks 

• Jhye Richardson: Jhye Richardson is currently the 3rd highest wicket-taker with 13 wickets in 6 games. He’s the lead pacer for the Scorchers and has been in exceptional form this season. Richardson will be an ideal captaincy pick. 

• Josh Inglis: Josh Inglis has been in terrific touch with the bat. He has scored runs consistently in almost every game up until now. He scored 47 runs and helped his side to a winning position in the last match. Inglis will fetch points from wicket-keeping as well. 

• Alex Hales: Alex Hales will be an excellent captaincy option. He scored 77 runs in the last game. He is looking in great form at the moment and will enjoy the conditions at the Optus stadium. His only threat is Jason Behrendorff and if he can see him, he’ll be in for a big score.

SCO vs THU Dream11 Prediction: Top Differential Picks

• Usman Qadir: Usman Qadir will be an excellent differential pick, especially when Thunder are bowling second. He has picked up atleast one wicket in every game this season. Qadir will be a key bowler for his team.

• Ben Cutting: Ben Cutting did well in his first game of BBL 12. He didn’t get to face enough deliveries but he bowled well and picked up 2 wickets. Cutting’s fantasy value will increase in Daniel Sams’ absence. He will be an ideal differential pick.

• Raw Pawson: Raw Pawson is expected to replace Daniel Sams in the eleven and he’ll be the best differential pick for this game. He is a pace bowler who can swing the ball both ways and can be a key bowler for Sydney in the power play.  

SCO vs THU Dream11 Prediction: Players to Avoid

Nick Hobson: Nick Hobson has played well in only one game this season. He has been struggling a lot with the bat and can be avoided in your fantasy teams.
