Preview:
It’s a little surprising to find both sides sharing the market in this one considering Brisbane’s horror start to the season.
After so much hype, the Heat’s top order has failed to live up to expectations. Brisbane finds itself sitting 0-2 after back-to-back losses to the Thunder and Stars, leaving Darren Lehmann’s side looking a little under the odds.
The Sixers, meanwhile, roll into this game at 1-1 after opening the season with an eight-wicket win over Perth before losing to the Hurricanes on Friday. It’s a tough turnaround for Sydney on short rest, but the Sixers can rest easy knowing they hold home-field advantage at the SCG.
Sydney’s roster on both sides of the ball is largely underwhelming with so many players lost to Test duty, but that isn’t to say the Sixers can’t win this one.
It just so happens that Greg Shipperd’s side has won five straight games over the Heat dating back to 2017, while Brisbane’s last win at the SCG came all the way back in 2016.
