Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Thunder Prediction & Betting Tips 2022

Brisbane Heat had some ups and downs this season but are now on a winning track. The team is performing well as a unit involving all-round performance on the cricket field.

Colin Munro, Sam Billings, and Max Bryant are key to the batting lineup of the Brisbane Heat. Michael Neser and Mark Steketee will lend support in the bowling department.

We expect nothing less than a cracker of a contest in the upcoming fixture. The previous match against Adelaide Strikers was interesting and this ought to be the same.

We expect it to be an average-scoring encounter in the next game. Irrespective of which team bats first, the first-inning score is expected to be around 160 runs.

We are backing Brisbane Heat to win the forthcoming match.
