THE LOWDOWN

BRISBANE HEAT

  • Brisbane Heat went into Christmas at the top of the 2023-24 BBL table and deservedly so, having won three of their four scheduled matches, racking up seven points and a huge net-run-rate in doing so.
  • Special praise is warranted for Paul Walter, the Essex all-rounder has taken both the Heat and the BBL by storm, most recently putting up a ‘Player of the Match’ performance in Brisbane’s victory over Melbourne Renegades.

SYDNEY THUNDER

  • Sydney Thunder finally got their season up and running last weekend, picking up their first two points of the campaign courtesy of a five-wicket win over a terribly-placed Melbourne Stars side.
  • Another English overseas player played a key role, Alex Hales top-scoring in a successful run chase of 173, whilst Pakistan overseas bowler Zaman Khan and domestic star Daniel Sams also impressed.

THE PREDICTION

There’s no doubt that Sydney Thunder will pose a big challenge for Brisbane Heat and their hopes of maintaining an unbeaten record this season. But the Heat has passed all the tests that have faced them so far and what has stood out has been the lack of notable superstars within their line-up. This is an excellent team who are all pulling their weight brilliant. Sydney Thunder lack that sort of team play right now and on the road are expected to come up short in Brisbane territory.
