BBL 2021-22 - Match 36 - Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers – Preview, Playing XI, Live Streaming Details, and Updates

Brisbane Heat are set to cross swords with Sydney Sixers in match 36 of the Big Bash League (BBL). The last time when these two teams met on December 29, 2021, Sixers managed to beat Heat by just two wickets. It was a low-scoring thriller and an absolute classic match. The Jimmy Peirson-led side managed to put that bitter loss behind them and won their next game against Hobart Hurricanes.

The Heat are currently placed fifth and have played eight matches. Although they have lost five games, the Heat have found some momentum in the last two matches. Their bowling is looking good with Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mark Steketee among the wickets. Chris Lynn has not fired and the Heat would be expecting their gun player to find some form.

Meanwhile, the Sixers are looking good and have managed to win six games. The senior players like Sean Abbot, Dan Christian, and Moises Henriques are chipping in with useful contributions. Young players Josh Philippe and Hayden Kerr have performed well with bat and ball respectively. The defending champions look well poised to make it to yet another semifinal.

Pitch Report
