The Sydney Sixers have won seven of their last eight BBL matches against the Sydney Thunder (L1) including a 47-run victory when they last met earlier this season (20 December 2025); although, their only defeat in that span came when they last met the Thunder at the Sydney Cricket Ground (24 January 2025).
The Sydney Thunder defeated the Melbourne Renegades by four wickets last time out in the BBL (12 January 2026), snapping a five-match losing run; the Thunder will be aiming for consecutive wins for the first time in this BBL15 season.
The Sydney Sixers have lost their last three BBL matches at the Sydney Cricket Ground; a fourth consecutive defeat in this game would equal their longest losing run at the SCG in the history of the competition (L4 from December 2015 to December 2016).
Sam Billings (9 – 8 catches, 1 stumping in BBL15) is one away from recording 10 dismissals as wicketkeeper for the Sydney Thunder in a BBL season for the third time (12 in BBL14 & 10 in BBL10); only one other player has done this even once for the Thunder (Matthew Gilkes – 10 in BBL12).
Steve Smith (Sydney Sixers) has scored 861 runs at an average of 66.2 across his last 17 BBL batting innings; although, he was dismissed for zero runs the last time he faced the Sydney Thunder in that span (12 January 2024).
