THE TEAM NEWS

BRISBANE HEAT

• Brisbane Heat’s miserable run of form in the Big Bash League continued as they suffered a fifth successive loss with Perth Scorchers becoming the latest side to get the better of them in their most recent contest.
• Despite a brilliant knock of 81 from opener Max Bryant, the Heat’s total of 155 proved to be short as the Brisbane bowling unit struggled to deal with the opposition’s quality batting line-up which saw them succumb to a six-wicket loss.

SYDNEY SIXERS

• Sydney Sixers blew the chance to stay in contention to finish at the top of the BBL ladder as they suffered a shock loss at the hands of Adelaide Stars last time out and now the pressure is on to win their final round robin game to ensure they seal second spot.
• The Sixers suffered an eight-wicket loss as their bowling unit underwhelmed in defending a target of 162 but their options will be boosted here with Nathan Lyon available following the conclusion of the Ashes.

THE PREDICTION

Sydney Sixers could have had second spot all but sewn up but they failed to overcome Adelaide Strikers in their latest game which means they may need to prevail in this clash to ensure they finish in the top two. They come up against struggling Brisbane Heat in their final game and they will be confident owing to the Heat’s five-game losing run. They have struggled of late and now coming up against a Sixers outfit with plenty on the line, it would be a surprise if the Heat were able to end their campaign with a victory.
