TEAMS PREVIEW

Brisbane Heat Preview

Colin Munro's side has been in superb form in the tournament. They haven't lost a game so far and come here with a 15-run win over the Sydney Thunder in their last game. Munro would like his side to continue with the same form and retain the top spot on the points table with a win in this match.  

The side will expect a good start in this game from Colin Munro and Josh Brown, as the pair has been in good form. Nathan McSweeney will be confident after his match-winning knock in the last game and needs to do well in the middle order with Matt Renshaw and Sam Billings. Paul Walter and Xavier Bartlett add firepower in the lower middle order.  

Michael Neser and Spencer Johnson have done well with the new ball, and the team will expect early wickets from the pair. Xavier Bartlett is in form, and he must bowl well in the middle overs with Paul Walter. Mitchell Swepson and Matthew Kuhnemann will look to do well in the middle overs.

Brisbane Heat Predicted Playing XI:

Colin Munro (c), Josh Brown, Nathan McSweeney, Matt Renshaw, Sam Billings (wk), Paul Walter, Michael Neser, Xavier Bartlett, Spencer Johnson, Matthew Kuhnemann, Mitchell Swepson

Sydney Sixers Preview

Moises Henriques would feel upset with rain playing spoilsport on their last game against the Sydney Thunder. They were in a comfortable position when rain halted play. The side faces formidable opposition in this game and must be at its best to win. Henriques would like to see a spirited performance from his players.  

Josh Phillippe and James Vince have played well, and the side will expect a strong start at the top. Moises Henriques will look to anchor the innings in the middle order and score runs with Kurtis Patterson and Jordan Silk. The side will look for quick runs from Jack Edwards, Joel Davies, and Sean Abbott.  

The bowling attack has done well, but they face a tough challenge in this contest. The side will need a good start in this game from Jackson Bird and Sean Abbott. Ben Dwarshuis is the most important bowler for the side, and he will look to bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Joel Davies. Edwards and Henriques add depth to this attack.

Sydney Sixers Predicted Playing XI:

Moises Henriques (c), Josh Philippe (wk), James Vince, Kurtis Patterson, Jordan Silk, Jack Edwards, Joel Davies, Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, Jackson Bird, Todd Murphy

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The weatherman predicts rain for Brisbane on January 1. We may have a rain-curtailed game, and batting conditions will be challenging in this match. Bowlers will enjoy bowling under the conditions. The side batting first will look to have 160 runs on the board in these conditions. 

BH vs SYS Pitch Report

The Gabba, Brisbane, is a good venue for T20 cricket. The ground is small, and batsmen can play their strokes easily. Fast bowlers do well at this venue under overcast conditions. Spinners find the ground challenging at this venue and must use their variations to do well.

Toss: To Bowl

We have seen the side batting first win comfortably in the two games played at this venue. The wicket has been good to bat on and has slowed down in the second innings. But the weather will play a role in this game, and the side winning the toss won't hesitate to bowl first.
