The Comets went down to Bankstown by 23 runs in their opening match before a 36-run loss to Campbelltown in the second game of the afternoon.
All-rounder Vele Dukoski was the best performed of the Comets bowlers in the first match against Bankstown, taking 2-23 from his four overs in a total of 5-160.
That proved out of the Comets' reach, with Eastlake captain Michael Spaseski top-scoring with 34 in his side's total of 137.
The Comets did a better job with the ball in their match against Bankstown, keeping their opponents to just 5-140.
Comets coach Mark Higgs – who played a couple of seasons ago with the Hobart Hurricanes in the Big Bash League – showed he can still be effective in the short format, taking 3-18 from four overs.
Higgs then played a lone hand with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 30 from 22 balls, but it was in vein as the Comets finished on 8-104.
The Sydney Twenty20 competition is a showcase for the Sydney Sixers and Sydney Thunder as they scout players for the upcoming BBL tournament.
