WBBL 2025: Winless Sydney Thunder look to turn things around
Sydney Thunder Women are preparing to take on the Perth Scorchers Women in the 15th match of the ongoing Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) on Wednesday at Drummoyne Oval. For the Sydney Thunder, who are seeking a turnaround, the journey has been anything but smooth sailing. The side has had a disappointing start, having stumbled into a worrying slump with three consecutive defeats.
Their batting unit has struggled to put up big scores, and the middle order has lacked stability, making things worse for them. Going into the next game, Thunder will be desperate for a reset and claim their first win. A win here is crucial for them to make their comeback into the tournament.
Perth Scorchers, on the other hand, enter this game in a relatively better position, having secured two wins from their four matches. However, it will be crucial for Scorchers to bring back the consistency to further push their case.
