Despite winning the toss, the Brisbane Heat chose to bat first against the Sydney Sixers, but this didn’t benefit the team as they lost 6 back to back wickets. Jimmy Peirson went for a golden duck, Chris Lynn 2 off 6, Ben Duckett 21 off 19, Tom Cooper 7 off 4, and Sam Heazlett 4 off 10, Xavier Bartlett 1 off 5, no batter could establish a key partnership for the team, and none could even post a double-digit score except Duckett.
On the other hand, the Sixers appeared to have total dominance with their bowling assault. Ben Dwarshuis, Sean Abbott with two wickets each, and Daniel Christian, Hayden Kerr with one wicket appeared to be fearsome for the opponent batting unit.
Brisbane Heat Innings 55-6 (12 Overs)
