Sydney Thunder vs Brisbane Heat Chance of Winning

Sydney Thunder had a difficult start to the tournament last year but managed to bag seven wins in 14 games and ended up fourth on the table. After beating Brisbane Heat twice in the group stages, once again both sides went head to head in the Eliminator round, Brisbane Heat avenged their losses in the group stages and scored 203 runs in the game. The game got suspended due to rain and Brisbane Heat won the game by eight runs (D&L).

Brisbane Heat were one of the surprise packages last season, they had an underwhelming start to the campaign as they lost four of the first five matches in the tournament. After finishing fifth on the table they had a stunning playoff run as they beat Sydney Thunders, Melbourne Renegades and Sydney Sixers and went into the finals where they were beaten by Perth Scorchers. As per our calculations, Sydney Thunder are slight favourites heading into this fixture.

Sydney Thunder vs Brisbane Heat Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Max Bryant had an underwhelming campaign last season. Bryant played nine matches last season and scored 152 runs with an average of 16.88 which is pretty low for a top order batsmen. Both sides squared off twice in the group stages, in the first match Bryant scored one off seven balls and in the second game he scored four which makes us believe Bryant would struggle to score well in the upcoming game.

Alex Hales had a solid campaign last term as he ended up with 245 runs in nine matches with an average of 30.62 which is pretty good in T20 format. Hales was one of the most consistent batman for Sydney Thunders and scored an unbeaten 59 in the first head to head game against Brisbane Heat which makes us believe he would score well in the upcoming game.

Sydney Thunder vs Brisbane Heat Match Toss Prediction

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sydney Thunder

Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder are evenly matched, last season both sides ended up fifth and fourth on the table and were separated by just one point. Looking at the odds it seems like the bookmakers are sitting on the edge in this one. Looking at the head to head games, Sydney Thunders dominated the games as they went 2-0 in the group stages but lost in the playoff as the game got suspended and would feel hard done by. We reckon Sydney Thunders would bag maximum points come Dec 12.
