In comparison to previous WBBL seasons, the teams taking third and fourth place will have a much harder time reaching the championship game.
The Sixers advanced directly to Saturday’s final under the new finals system implemented last summer, while the second-ranked Strikers will face the winner of tonight’s game.
However, the Heat and Hurricanes are hoping that they can follow the Strikers’ example after seeing them go from fourth to the championship game last summer.
After winning just one of their previous four games, both teams are looking for momentum.
