Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers prediction

One point separates these two teams heading into this contest between fifth-placed Brisbane Heat and fourth-placed Sydney Sixers. That means the winner here will move on to the play-offs, whilst the loser will be eliminated. A late run of form from the Sixers has put them in pole position, having picked up nine points from their last five matches. But back-to-back wins has kept Brisbane in the hunt and they boast home advantage here.

We mentioned about the importance of the Australian international players returning to BBL action ahead of the Sydney derby and Steve Smith proved us right, his 100 from 42 balls helped the Sixers to a vital victory. Whilst Brisbane has Michael Neser, Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja, none of those pose the same threat as the likes of Smith and Mitchell Starc. Therefore, the smart move would be to back Sydney making it through.
