BH vs SYT Team Previews
Brisbane Heat
Brisbane Heat has been clinical in its performance this season. The team hasn’t lost a single match so far and is sitting at the top of the points table.
Colin Munro is in good form at the top of the order and is the leading run-scorer of the tournament. He is likely to open the batting with Josh Brown. However, the latter has yet to play a big inning. Sam Billings and Matt Renshaw were brilliant in the last match and their partnership was the key to the Heat’s victory in the last match.
The bowling has been one of the biggest strengths of Brisbane’s success this season.
Paul Walter, Xavier Bartlett, and Mitchell Swepson are among the top 5 wicket-takers of the tournament with 6 wickets each. The others in the bowling attack include Michael Neser, Matthew Kuhnemann, and Spencer Johnson. Overall, the Brisbane Heat has a well-balanced squad.
Brisbane Heat Playing 11
Colin Munro, Josh Brown, Nathan McSweeney, Matt Renshaw, Sam Billings, Paul Walter, Michael Neser, Xavier Bartlett, Spencer Johnson, Matthew Kuhnemann, Mitchell Swepson.
Sydney Thunder
Sydney Thunder had lost both their opening matches but managed to turn things around on Saturday by defeating the Melbourne Stars. They have now moved to the 5th place on the table.
Cameron Bancroft and Alex Hales gave the team a strong start in the last match and will look to do so again. Bancroft is among the top run-getters in the tournament. The middle order consists of some strong batsmen like Oliver Davies, Jason Sangha, and Alex Ross.
Each of them has got some good starts but the team will need at least one of them to play till the death overs. Daniel Sams is a quality all-rounder and can play the role of a finisher. He bowled an excellent spell with the ball in the last game, picking up 4 wickets.
He will feature in the seam attack alongside Zaman Khan and Liam Hatcher. The spin attack consists of Tanveer Sangha and Chris Green. While the Sydney Thunder have some talented individual players, they will need to play better as a unit if they want to continue with their winning momentum.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the Gabba is excellent to bat on. The surface offers a good amount of pace and bounce, allowing the batsmen to play their shots with ease. The team batting first will look to score over 200 runs. However, as the match goes on, the pitch does slow down a bit, and helps the spinners to get some turn.
