The Thunder will hope the backs-against-the-wall mentality which has been the cornerstone of their campaign can help them silence the purple army at Ninja Stadium on Monday night.

Former champions Sydney Thunder are set to clash with the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25 final at Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Sunday, according to Olympics.com.Sydney Thunder,

The Hurricanes have won their past three matches against the Thunder, with all three of those victories coming at Ninja Stadium. Hobart won the previous clash between the two sides this season on January 10 by six wickets with 19 balls remaining with their other scheduled fixture at ENGIE Stadium abandoned due to rain without a ball bowled.

Sydney Thunder have booked their berth in the Big Bash League (BBL) final, following a nail-biting four-wicket win over Sydney Sixers. The win paves the way for David Warner to guide his team to their first BBL title in nine years. Notably, it has been a remarkable turnaround for the Thunder, who finished last in the previous season.

Sam Billings says the third umpire erred in a crucial moment of the Sydney derby BBL final that the Thunder won by four wickets.
