Brisbane Heat could not sustain their winning momentum after they defeated table toppers Adelaide Strikers.
Peirson and his men need to rework their strategy to bounce back stronger. Colin Munro was the stand out performer as expected. Skipper Peirson has played some amazing knocks against Sydney Thunders in the past. We expect him to play an important role in this game.
Players to watch out for - Peirson, Colin Munro, and Michael Neser.
