The 37th BBL 2025 match between the Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder will take place at Sydney Cricket Ground in Sydney on Friday. The Sydney Thunder have won just two matches and they have been eliminated from this season. They won their last match by four wickets against the Melbourne Renegades, successfully chasing down the target.

On the other hand, the Sydney Sixers currently stand in the fifth position in the points table with four wins. Their last match was abandoned due to rain. The Sixers have two matches left to play this season and both of them are crucial for them as the Heat, Adelaide Strikers, and Melbourne Renegades are within a chance of making it to the playoffs.
