Brisbane Heat Preview: Top-spot still up for grabs after incredible run.

Four wins in a row heading into this final league stage fixture, one of those against opponents Sydney Sixers has given Brisbane Heat a chance of potentially progressing all the way through to the final without going through the play-offs. A second win here over the Sixers and by a big enough margin to overturn the net-run-rate gap between themselves and Melbourne Renegades would do the trick.

Sydney Sixers preview: Finishing with a flourish 

Even a super over couldn’t separate Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers last time out, meaning it’s now four games since the Sixers claimed victory in the WBBL as their season ends in disappointment. Key to their failings has been the huge drop off in quality outside of key players such as Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner.

Brisbane Heat Betting Analysis

Captain Jess Jonassen has demonstrated her high-class bowling skills for Brisbane Heat during their recent run of good results, finishing as her side’s top bowler in two of their last three games, picking up six wickets in the process. Three of those scalps came against the Sixers, who Jonassen faces again here. Investment in her to again end up top bowler for Brisbane, along with another stake on the 32-year-old to record 2+ wickets should be considered.

Sydney Sixers Betting Analysis

Ellyse Perry won’t stop scoring runs, even if they aren’t leading to victories for her team. Her fourth score of 50+ runs across nine innings in this season’s WBBL came against Perth this past Thursday. She scored 67, which takes her overall total for the campaign up to 391 runs at an average of 55.85, which is a huge figure when taking into account the format. Whilst the Sixers may not be successful in this last game, Perry may well be, so back the Aussie superstar to accrue another 30+ runs.

Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers Expert Prediction

Sydney Sixers seem to have hit a wall and their tournament fizzled out a while ago. The overwhelming expectation is for Brisbane Heat to win this match, especially being at home. The question is whether it will be enough to overhaul the Renegades’ net-run-rate. Either way, any outcome other than victory for the Heat over Sydney Sixers would be seen as a big shock.
