Brisbane Heat has dropped three of their previous four games, so they are not in the best of moods going into this encounter. Their hitters’ inconsistency is failing the team. In their most recent match against Sydney Thunder, they were unable to contribute with the bat, managing only 121 runs and losing by a score of 10 wickets. Against Sydney Thunder, the bowlers were on the receiving end and let up much too many runs without taking a wicket. To return to their winning ways, Jimmy Peirson and his men must take exceptional action.
Sydney Thunder demonstrated how excellent their cricket is. In their second match, they were defeated by Adelaide Strikers by a score of 124 runs, crumbling for just 15 runs. As they defeated Brisbane Heat on Tuesday by a margin of 10 wickets, we saw a total turnaround from them. After having trouble in the first four games, Matthew Gilkes had spectacular innings, scoring an unbeaten 56 runs and joining Alex Hales in a 124-run opening-wicket stand. They need to follow the procedure consistently and cannot afford to lose many games. They have four points and are in fifth place.
