THE LOWDOWN
BRISBANE HEAT
- Brisbane Heat rematch Sydney Thunder searching for revenge after suffering a ten-wicket thrashing by the same opposition just two days prior to this latest encounter.
- The Heat bowlers drew a blank against the destructive Alex Hales and opening partner Matthew Gilkes and must improve both their discipline and cutting edge this time round.
SYDNEY THUNDER
- Sydney Thunder surprised many with their resounding triumph over Brisbane Heat last time out, chasing down 122 without losing a wicket and at a rate of over ten runs-per-over with 8.2 overs remaining.
- Alex Hales showed his ruthless quality, striking 59, whilst Matthew Gilkes also hit a half-century, adding to his two catches which helped him win the Player of the Match award.
THE PREDICTION
Whilst Sydney Thunder might have made light work of Brisbane Heat most recently, you’d expect the Heat to respond strongly in this rematch as they attempt to gain revenge. Provided they can take early wickets, then they will expose the potentially soft underbelly of Sydney Thunder’s batting line-up, who are extremely reliant on the likes of Hales and Gilkes firing at the top of the order. It won’t be easy for them to repeat their feats of Tuesday and backing Brisbane Heat to come out victorious this time is well worth consideration.
