The highly anticipated match between the Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder at the SCG ended in disappointment as rain forced the game to be called off. Both teams shared the points, leaving the standings unchanged. Sixers stayed in second place, securing a Qualifier against Hobart Hurricanes while Thunder are now lined up to play the Knockout against the fourth-placed team, which is yet to be decided. With three league games remaining, five teams are still fighting for the last playoff spot.
David Warner, this season's top scorer, gave Thunder a strong start with a quick 22 off 14 balls but rain stopped play after 5.1 overs, leaving the score at 36/1. Jack Edwards took an early wicket for the Sixers, clean-bowling Sam Konstas with a perfect yorker but the rain made further play impossible.
Despite the ground staff's efforts to clear the field during the rain breaks, the conditions didn't improve and the match was officially abandoned.
