Steve Smith Stats in T20

He has featured in only 2 games but has been in great form. He made 36 in the first game and followed it up with a brilliant 101-run knock in the second game. A legend in red-ball cricket, he can wreck damage in T20s too.

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.
