Brisbane Heat will take on Sydney Sixers in match 34 of the Big Bash League. Brisbane Heat have had an average tournament. They have been slightly inconsistent, winning three and losing five games. Throughout the tournament, the team has struggled to post big runs on the board which has hurt the team. The likes of Chris Lynn, Ben Duckett, Sam Heazlett and Max Bryant have failed to post consistent scores. The team is not short on quality but these batters have to string together some consistent performances and help the team post decent runs. The bowling is good on paper, with the likes of Mark Steketee, Xavier Barlett, Mujeeb Ur Rahman at their disposal.
Meanwhile, Sydney Sixers have been on a roll. They have won six games, lost one and one game ended in a no result due to rain. The two teams clashed earlier in the tournament as well and Sixers emerged victorious by 2 wickets in a low scoring thriller. Josh Phillippe and James Vince have been in great form and have given solid starts upfront which has helped the team post big runs. The bowlers have had enough runs on the board to defend on most occasions and have done reasonably well.
Pitch Report -The match will be played at Carrara Oval. It's a wicket that stays true throughout the game. The batters enjoy the short boundaries. There is very little help for the bowlers thus we could be in for a high scoring thriller.
