THE LOWDOWN

SYDNEY SIXERS

• Sydney Sixers are hunting for revenge at North Sydney Oval, after the Heat managed to end the Sixers’ winning run in this season’s BBL the last time these two clashed back on New Year’s Day.
• That match could have ended differently had the controversial dismissal of Jordan Silk on 41, caught by Michael Neser over the boundary rope before throwing the ball back into play without his feet touching the ground, been given as 6 rather than out.

BRISBANE HEAT

• Brisbane Heat managed to successfully defend a monster score of 224 to defeat Sydney Sixers at the Gabba and will need to bat just as well this time round in what is likely to be another high-scoring encounter.
• Nathen McSweeney smashed 84 from 51 balls, whilst Michael Neser took three wickets alongside his controversial catch in what was a strong all-round performance from the Heat.

THE PREDICTION

As this tournament has gone, Brisbane Heat have significantly improved with the bat and with small boundaries at North Sydney Oval, they are more than capable of putting up another big score. However, Sydney Sixers are likely to prove more potent and tighter with the ball this time round, despite the likely difficult conditions for their bowlers. When taking into account the quality of this Sixers side, expect a strong reaction from them and added motivation following Neser’s catch off Silk on New Year’s Day. Therefore, consider backing Sydney Sixers to come out on top in this reverse fixture.
