MATCH PREVIEW & MATCH PREDICTION BBL 2019-20

Sydney Thunder

  • Of the many players in this team, Callum Ferguson stands out as best performer until now.
  • He had notched up 248 runs in six matches.
  • Even though the batters have to take the bulk of the responsibility, Thunder would also hope that the duo of Chris Morris and Daniel Sams find their touch with the bat soon.
  • With the ball though, the duo has been terrific to pick up a combined 20 wickets for their team until now.

Brisbane Heat

  • As we know that Brisbane’s win depends upon the batting unit of Tom Banton, Max Bryant and Chris Lynn, who hit the right notes against Hobart Hurricanes.
  • Matt Renshaw surprised everyone with his batting with 156 runs at 136.84 strike rate.
  • Ben Laughlin, Zahir Khan, and Josh Lalor have tended to depend on big scores. If Australia releases Mitch Swepson from the Test squad, Heat’s bowling might look like a much better one.

PROBABLE WINNING TEAM

We are going for a Sydney Thunder win. Though Brisbane Heat’s batting line-up is explosive, their success rate tends to be very low and also the Sydney Showground Stadium might not be the apt one for their stroke makers.
