BH vs SYD Team Previews
Brisbane Heat
The Brisbane Heat is one of the most consistent teams this season. After 5 matches, Brisbane is yet to lose a match and is sitting at the top of the points table. It also has the best NRR among all teams in the league.
Colin Munro has led his team from the front and has scored 157 runs so far at an average of 52.33. This makes him the leading run-getter for his side. Munro will open the batting along with Josh Brown and will look to give the team a brisk start.
Nathan McSweeney was in sublime form in the last match as he scored 73 runs from just 52 deliveries. He, along with Matt Renshaw and Sam Billings makes up for a strong middle order. The team also has a capable all-rounder in the form of Paul Walter who adds depth to the batting. Brisbane Heat has one of the strongest seam attacks in the tournament.
Xavier Bartlett is the leading wicket-taker with 9 wickets. He will be supported by Michael Neser, Spencer Johnson, and Paul Walter. The spin attack consists of Mitchell Swepson and Matthew Kuhnemann. The duo has picked up 12 wickets between them.

Sydney Sixers
The Sixers had an excellent start to their campaign as they won their first 3 matches. However, they did lose to the Melbourne Stars earlier this week, while their latest match, played against the Thunder, was washed out due to rain.
Nevertheless, the team is currently 3rd on the points table.
Josh Philippe and James Vince are among the most consistent opening pairs this season and the team will expect another strong start from them. Jordan Silk is the leading run-scorer for the team with 116 runs. He will be a key player in the middle order.
However, the performance of other batsmen including Moises Henriques, Daniel Hughes, and Jack Edwards has been rather inconsistent. At least one of them will need to play a big inning here. Just like their opponents, the Sydney Sixers have a strong seam attack.
Jackson Bird is the leading wicket-taker with 8 wickets. He will open the attack with the new ball along with Ben Dwarshuis, who has 6 wickets against his name. The other quick bowlers include Sean Abbott and Jack Edwards.
The team is a bit lacking in the spin department with Todd Murphy being the only full-time spinner.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Gabba is an excellent batting surface. There is ample pace and bounce that helps the ball come nicely onto the bat. The batsmen can play their shots quite naturally and the outfield is quick too. The average first-inning score is around 185.
The pitch does slow down a bit as the match progresses. The ball grips onto the surface and the slower bowlers can expect some turn.
The weather is likely to remain overcast and there is a good chance of rain. As a result, we may see some delays or interruptions.
BH vs SYD Betting Tips
Brisbane Heat has been clinical in its performance so far and will start as the favorites to win this match. We are halfway through the season, and Brisbane is yet to lose a match. Given the excellent form of some of its players, they are likely to maintain that record. That said, the Sydney Sixers are a quality side and will give the opposition a tough fight.
Bet on the Brisbane Heat to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The pitch at the Gabba is great to bat on. As both teams have some quality batsmen, we are likely to see some big overs in this match.
As mentioned earlier, we are likely to see a high-scoring encounter on New Year’s Day. The outfield at Brisbane is very quick. We, therefore, think that there will be plenty of boundaries in this match.
The two matches played at the Gabba have both seen individual scores of over 65. As both sides have some talented batsmen, we are likely to see at least one of them play a big inning.
