Welcome to the match preview of Sydney Sixers Vs Brisbane Heat. Sydney Sixers are currently struggling with two losses in a trot. With every loss they are pushed down the points table. Their top order is struggling to good starts and they lost 5 wickets for just 50 odd runs in the last match. Daniel Hughes, Jordan Silk and Tom Curran has been the consistent performers so far. Skipper Moises has provided some runs with the bat but is not upto his standards. James Vince and Jack Edwards are yet to make a mark in the playing XI. Ben Dwarisus, Sean Abbott and Tom Curran form the pace bowling attack of the team. Ben Manenti and Steve O Keefe are the spinners expected to bowl in tandem. Steve O Keefe has had an excellent tournament and is the highest wicket taker so far. 

Brisbane Heat are not having a good tournament with more losses than wins. They had a bad incident last match at Gabba with power failure and match ending as no result. They have formidable top order with Max Bryant, Brendon McCullum and Skipper Chris Lynn. They have the most explosive top order in the Big Bash league. There has been less contributions from middle order and players like Matt Renshaw, Ben Cutting and Joe Burns need to improve their batting. Brendon Doggett, Ben cutting, Josh LAlor and James Pattinson form an effective pace bowling attack. They have mystery spinner Mujeeb Ur Rahman supported by Michael Swepson to control the run flow in the middle overs.

Key Players

Chris Lynn – Lynn fell out of the national selection recently and he needs to showcase his batting skills to stake a claim in the national selection for future.

Brisbane Heat Actual Playing XI:

Brendan Doggett, Ben Cutting, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Jack Prestwidge, Chris Lynn, Josh Lalor, Max Bryant, Jimmy Peirson, Brendon McCullum, Mitchell Swepson, Alex Ross

Weather Conditions

The match is scheduled to start at local time 7.15 PM local time. Sydney is one of slow pitches in Australia which is expected to aid the spin bowlers. Sydney is not a high scoring ground owing to its bigger boundaries. The Average score is around 160 runs. Any score above 180 runs is considered as par score and is tough to chase.

Toss: To Bat

WIN the toss, BAT First

Sydney has been batting first venue and teams batting first has won 5 out 7 matches played so far in the league. The pitch might offer turn and grip for the spin bowlers as the match progresses due to wear and tear. Both captains would look to bat in better conditions. 

Brisbane Heat top order has been in good form and is doing the bulk of run scoring in the league. We expect their top order to come good once again. Both teams have good spinners in form of Mujeeb, Steve O Keefe and Swepson, so we can look forward to an exciting contest. We place our bet on Brisbane Heat to be victorious.
