Sydney Sixers
Brisbane Heat
Josh Philippe has played well this season and is averaging 38.50 in 5 innings. He has scored at least 21 runs in 3 of his last 4 outings. He has scored 349 runs against Brisbane at an average of 31.72 and we are backing him to play another good knock.

Brisbane Heat will look to avenge its loss against the Sydney Sixers on Friday when they host them in a reverse fixture. The two teams will clash at the International Sports Stadium in Coffs Harbour.
The two teams have faced each other in 22 matches so far. The Sixers are the dominant side with 15 wins, while Brisbane has won 7.
This match will be live-streamed on the Disney+ Hotstar App and Star Sports Network.
The Sydney Sixers’ 4-match winning streak ended on Wednesday as they faced their first defeat of the season at the hands of Hobart. Nevertheless, they are still at the top of the points table.
James Vince and Josh Phillippe are among the most consistent opening pairs of the year and will hope to give the team a strong start here. The middle order is also pretty strong, thanks to the presence of Moises Henriques, Jordan Silk, Kurtis Patterson, and Jack Edwards.
While none of them played well in the last match, they are all quality batsmen and can single-handedly change the course of the match. In the pace department, Ben Dwarshuis has picked up 10 wickets and is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament.
His partner, Jackson Bird has picked up 7. The two spinners, Akeal Hosein and Todd Murphy have picked up 4 wickets each.
Brisbane Heat has been somewhat inconsistent this year. After winning its first two matches, the team has suffered 3 consecutive losses and is in the bottom half of the points table.
The batting from Brisbane Heat has been rather underwhelming this year. While Nathan McSweeney, Matthew Renshaw, Max Bryant, and Jimmy Peirson have all scored half-centuries, they have been unable to score consistently and that has cost the team its last few games. Also, Paul Walter, who played a key role in Brisbane’s title-winning journey last year, is yet to contribute.
Coming to the bowling, Xavier Bartlett is Brisbane’s best bowler this year with 9 wickets. He will be joined in the pace department by Spencer Johnson and Will Prestwidge, who have picked up 7 wickets between them.
Mitchell Swepson and Matthew Kuhnemann have picked up only 3 wickets in the 35 overs they have bowled.
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
The International Sports Stadium is one of the more difficult venues to bat on. The average first-inning score here is around 135. The surface isn’t the quickest and the batsmen must work hard to time the ball. As the surface grips the old ball, spinners can expect plenty of help.
The weather will remain overcast and we may see some drizzling throughout the day.
Brisbane hasn’t been in the best of forms over the last week and could struggle against a tough opponent like the Sixers. The latter are the most consistent team this season and we expect them to bounce back.
Bet on the Sydney Sixers to win.
