Sydney Sixers Preview: Sixers must shake off derby frustration

After suffering the ultimate WBBL of being beaten by their inter-city rivals Sydney Thunder, the Sixers now stand with an even three-win three-loss record after six league games. With only four matches left, that makes every fixture from here crucially important and with home advantage here, they need a victory.

Brisbane Heat preview: Heat end three-match losing streak

Brisbane Heat are in a battle to grab one of those top four spots and getting back to winning ways was huge from their perspective. Now the big question is whether they can follow it up with another successful result in this next match, particularly against a fellow play-off chaser in the Sixers.

Sydney Sixers Betting Analysis

Whilst Ellyse Perry will understand be the focus of many, don’t sleep on Ashleigh Gardner. An international superstar in her own right, the all-rounder top scored last time out vs the Thunder with 49, albeit in a losing effort. Gardner is one of the best in the world in both facets of the game and backing her through separate stakes to take over 1.5 match wickets and score 20+ runs may prove a shrewd move.

Brisbane Heat Betting Analysis

Although she didn’t top score in Brisbane Heat’s last game against Adelaide Strikers, opener Grace Harris made sure that she once again cleared the boundary rope on at least one occasion. The big-hitting Australian international has now struck six 6s over the course of this year’s WBBL so far, with only three players making recorded more. That’s an average of one maximum per game and makes backing Harris to accrue over 0.5 match sixes vs the Sixers a smart play.

Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat Expert Prediction

A really important battle looms ahead with both teams fighting in a close play-off race. Neither have been very consistent over the course of the competition, but both boast assets within their playing squad who can win a game single-handedly on a good day. With home advantage in their favour though, not to mention a trio of Australian superstars in Alyssa Healy, Ellyse Perry and Ashleigh Gardner making up three of their top four, back the Sixers to edge out Brisbane.
