Sydney Thunder vs Brisbane Heat prediction

After losing out in the Sydney derby last time out to the Sixers, the Thunder are under big pressure to respond here as they still search for their first points of the season. Meanwhile, Brisbane Heat are on cloud nine following their incredible record BBL run chase of 228 against Perth Scorchers. Two players scored centuries in the run-fest and it will be interesting to see how the Heat adapt to what will likely be a significantly lower-scoring game.

Such is the nature of T20 cricket that it would be no surprise if Brisbane were brought back down to earth quickly. David Warner is a shrewd captain and Sydney Thunder are bound to click together at some point with the players at Warner’s disposal. Consider backing the Thunder in Canberra to become the final BBL team to record a win this campaign.
