Sydney Sixers meet Brisbane Heat in the 24th fixture of the 2025 Big Bash League at Coffs Harbour. The Sixers have struggled to find any rhythm this season and sit in sixth position with only four points from five matches. The Heat, however, have fared somewhat better and are placed fourth with six points from six outings. The Heat should arrive with greater belief after pulling off an exciting victory over table leaders Melbourne Stars in their most recent outing.

Sydney Sixers have found it hard to find momentum in this BBL campaign, managing just one win while suffering three losses along the way. As the tournament moves on, they will want results quickly to push themselves up the ladder.
Josh Philippe has carried much of the scoring responsibility, piling up 196 runs from five appearances while holding an average of 40 and a strike rate of 154. He has been the standout figure in an otherwise inconsistent batting effort.
Daniel Hughes and Babar Azam have provided support further down the order, each passing the 120-run mark across five innings and helping keep the scoring rate at a manageable level.
Moises Henriques and Jordan Silk have chipped in at times, though neither has been able to control the middle stretch or see an innings through to the final overs regularly.
The bowling attack has relied on a narrow set of contributors. Jack Edwards has led the way with 10 wickets at an economy of 7.27. Joel Davies and Ben Dwarshuis have combined for 11 dismissals, but contributions beyond them have been inconsistent. This is an area the Sixers will want to strengthen. The Sixers have brought back fast bowler Kane Richardson for this game, who has 142 BBL wickets to his name at an average of 23.21. This move might end up bolstering their bowling unit.
Josh Philippe Total Runs Over 21.5 1.85
Josh Philippe has failed to convert his starts into "big knocks" in his last two outings; however, he remains in excellent form. He has surpassed 25 runs in three of his last five BBL matches and has amassed 196 runs across five matches this season, boasting a robust average of 39.2 and a strike rate of 154.33. His record at Coffs Harbour is particularly impressive, with 157 runs in five matches at an average of 52.33. Given his current momentum and historical success at this venue, we back Philippe to score over 21 runs in today's match.

Brisbane Heat have experienced an up-and-down journey so far, with three victories balanced by three losses, leaving them placed around fourth or fifth on the table. Confidence received a timely boost through a dramatic success over table toppers Melbourne Stars, a result that keeps playoff hopes alive.
Much of the run-making responsibility has passed through Matt Renshaw, who has accumulated 243 runs across six outings at an average of 41, striking at 163 and keeping the scoreboard moving at speed.
Max Bryant has worked effectively alongside him, adding 179 runs from six matches and operating at a strike rate of 151 to sustain early pressure. His impact stood out against the Stars, where an explosive unbeaten 48 off 26 carried Brisbane to a chase of 196 late in the contest.
Hugh Weibgen has chipped in with 107 runs from six appearances, while Jack Wildermuth has added 145 across the same stretch, covering duties across the upper and middle segments with consistent returns.
As for the bowling figures, Wildermuth heads the list with eight wickets from six games at an economy of 10.23. Xavier Bartlett and Thomas Balkin have joined forces for 13 dismissals, though others have found consistency harder to secure, leading to mixed outcomes across matches.
Max Bryant Total Runs Over 15.5 1.85
The wicket-keeper-batter has scored 25 or more runs in four of his last five matches, maintaining a strike rate of 158.41 this season. He is in excellent form, consistently scoring at a rapid pace while batting at number five for the Heat. Given his current momentum, we expect another blistering cameo from Bryant and predict his score in today's match will be over 15 runs.
Matt Renshaw Total Runs Over 21.5 1.85
Matt Renshaw is currently the leading run-scorer for the Brisbane Heat this season. He has accumulated 243 runs in six matches, maintaining a strong average of 40.5 and an aggressive strike rate of 163.09. His consistency is evident, as he has recorded scores of over 30 in each of his last four BBL appearances. While his historical record against the Sydney Sixers is more modest—66 runs in four matches at an average of 22—his current trajectory is upward. Given this exceptional run of form, we back Renshaw to score over 21 runs in today’s match.

Expect a bit of variation compared with major city venues for a night 20-over match at International Sports Stadium in Coffs Harbour. Historically, in BBL games here, totals have ranged around the high-150s to 200+, with chasing sides winning more often and a few tall scores put up under lights thanks to the way conditions settle after dusk. The strip has shown signs of slowing as a game unfolds, and slow bowlers have picked up their share of wickets alongside pacers, so adaptable batting plans tend to pay off.
The weather in Coffs Harbour will be humid and breezy, with chances of a thunderstorm later in the day.
The average first innings in T20s at International Sports Stadium hovers around the mid-150s to 160s. For this fixture, a score of around 170-180 will challenge the chasing side.
Brisbane Heat to win the coin toss 1.90
We back the Brisbane Heat to win the coin toss in match 24 of the Big Bash League 2026 season against the Sydney Sixers at International Sports Stadium in Coffs Harbour.
Three of the four BBL games played at International Sports Stadium have been won by the side chasing, indicating clearly that batting second is the way to go here.
Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat have both had patchy campaigns so far and need to string some wins together as the second half of the competition gets underway. There isn't a huge gap between these two teams on current form, but that recent victory against the Stars, who lead the table, should have lifted the Heat's belief considerably, and we think they'll take that momentum into this match, which makes them marginal favorites.
We are backing Brisbane Heat as the winners of this match.
