THE LOWDOWN
BRISBANE HEAT
- Brisbane Heat have successfully picked up where they left off after Christmas, chalking up another win to maintain their spot as league leaders, this time by 15 runs against Sydney Thunder.
- Despite being bowled out for 172 with two balls still remaining of their innings, Brisbane Heat’s bowlers put the squeeze on the Thunder batters and restricted them to just 157/9 in response.
SYDNEY SIXERS
- Sydney Sixers were denied the chance to add two more points to their overall league total, instead being forced to settle for just one as their ‘Sydney Smash’ fixture against the Thunder was called off just over midway through due to inclement weather.
- That result leaves the Sixers on seven points with a positive net-run-rate, still well on course for a play-off place but with victory needed here if they are to draw level on points with the in-form Heat.
THE PREDICTION
One of the most mouth-watering match-ups of the competition so far see two teams who have already proven that they have what it takes to go the distance, face off at the Gabba. Playing on home territory is a big boost for Brisbane, whose excellent bowling attack has been the pillar of their recent success. If any unit can keep a lid on a Sydney Sixers batting line-up of such depth, it’s this Brisbane Heat side and it’s well worth backing them to win at here at home.
