THE LOWDOWN
BRISBANE HEAT
- Brisbane Heat have been the all-round best team across the BBL so far this campaign and finished top of the table with seven wins and 16 points, but their only defeat came in their most recent game, a 35-run loss against Perth Scorchers.
- Overseas players Sam Billings and Colin Munro have left for the ILT20, but ‘Tall’ Paul Walter remains, the left-handed all-rounder has been brilliant for the Heat and was recently named in the BBL team of the season.
SYDNEY SIXERS
- Sydney Sixers made a massive statement in their final BBL league game, stepping into the Lion’s Den of Perth and turning the back-to-back champions over on their own patch, their dramatic victory by three wickets earning them a spot in this qualifier ahead of the Scorchers, courtesy of finishing second-place.
- With three consecutive wins to their name, the Sixers head into the play-offs with that all-important momentum firmly behind them and with an experienced core who know what it takes to get over the line.
THE PREDICTION
Brisbane Heat come into this qualifier as favourites to advance through to the final following an excellent league stage showing throughout its entirety. However, the Sydney Sixers are starting to look extremely good and to win in Perth with a place in the qualifier at stake was a huge message to Brisbane. We also don’t know how the Heat will react having tasted defeat for the first time and whether they can cope with a Sixers outfit who will throw everything at them. Therefore, it may well wind up a shrewd move to back Sydney Sixers causing a shock result and sneaking into the final at the first time of asking.
BETTING TIP: SYDNEY SIXERS TO WIN
