Brisbane Heat

Brisbane hasn’t been in the best of form over the last week. The team has lost 3 consecutive matches, and its latest fixture was washed out, forcing them to share points with Sydney Sixers. They are currently placed 5th on the points table.

Brisbane Heat hasn’t found a stable opening pair and has shuffled between Colin Munro, Tom Banton, and Jimmy Peirson in the opening slot. While Peirson has scored a half-century earlier in the series, Munro and Banton are both struggling at the moment and have an average of under 15 runs.

Matthew Renshaw, Max Bryant, and Nathan McSweeney have played a couple of good innings but have lacked consistency in the middle overs. Xavier Bartlett and Spencer Johnson continue to lead the attack with the new ball and will be supported by Will Prestwidge.

They have done a decent job so far. However, more will be expected from the spin duo of Mitchell Swepson and Matthew Kuhnemann.

Brisbane Heat Expected Playing 11

Sydney Thunder

Sydney Thunder has been among the most consistent teams this year, winning four of its five matches. It is second on the points table and a win here will take them to the top.

Thunder’s latest win came on Friday as they defeated the Perth Scorchers in a last-ball thriller. However, the win did come at a cost as two of the team’s key players, Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams, suffered a horrific collision while attempting a catch in the outfield.

With the injuries that both players have suffered, Bancroft is likely to miss the rest of the series, while Sams will be out for at least a week. They could be replaced in the playing XI by Hugh Weibgen and Olive Davies, who has recovered from the flu.

On the positive side, David Warner has played a couple of blistering knocks at the top of the order and will again look to give the team a brisk start. Sherfane Rutherford played a brilliant knock under pressure in the last match to guide his team to a memorable win.

The bowling unit will likely be unchanged with Wes Agar and Lockie Ferguson leading the pace attack and Chris Green featuring in the spin department.

BH vs ST Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at The Gabba is balanced. The seamers will enjoy the pace and bounce that the surface offers and the new ball moves around quite a lot. The batsmen must see off the new ball before they can start playing the shots. However, as the ball gets older, scoring runs will get easier. A score of around 160 is a par score on this ground.

The weather will remain clear with temperatures of around 25 degrees.

BH vs ST Betting Tips

Brisbane hasn’t been in the best of forms this year and has struggled to perform, especially with the bat. Sydney Thunder has been far more consistent and we are backing them to continue with the winning streak.

Bet on Sydney Thunder to win.
