Quick Page Overview
At Sydney Showground Stadium in Sydney, Match 17 of the Australian T20 League 2022–23 season will feature a showdown between THU vs HEA.
The two teams have had somewhat unimpressive starts to their respective seasons as they have only each won one game in the top division thus far.
Although it is too early to look at the rankings, both teams are now at the bottom part of the points chart. The teams will want to acquire the crucial two points in their next match. Brisbane, on the other hand, had a strong performance in their last game as they scored a victory in their encounter against the table-toppers, Adelaide Strikers, while the Thunder are hurting from back-to-back losses.

Pitch Report THU vs HEA
The Sydney Showground Stadium’s playing surface provides almost equal traction for bowlers and hitters. However, pacers might not benefit from the new ball’s lack of movement because hitters might be able to take advantage of this. Any captain who wins the toss may choose to bat first in order to put up a respectable score.
Predicted Playing XIs for THU vs HEA
Sydney Thunder:
Alex Hales, Matthew Gilkes (wk), Rilee Rossouw, Oliver Davies, Daniel Sams, Alex Ross, Nathan McAndrew, Chris Green (c), Gurinder Sandhu, Brendan Doggett, Fazalhaq Farooqi
Brisbane Heat:
Max Bryant, Colin Munro, Matt Renshaw, Sam Billings, Jimmy Peirson (c & wk), Ross Whiteley, Michael Neser, James Bazley, Mark Steketee, Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Kuhnemann
Potential Top Performers in THU vs HEA
Most likely top batter: Sam Billings
Billings’ outstanding batting performance against Adelaide Strikers in the previous game was crucial to their victory. The middle-order batsman scored 79 runs off of 48 balls, striking the ball at an amazing 164.58 per cent. The hitter will want to keep up his strong play when they next face Thunder.
Top Bowler Pick for the game: Gurinder Sandhu
The right-arm pacer makes slower deliveries because he is aware of the dynamics of the game and wants to prevent the hitters from gaining big scores. In addition to taking the crucial wickets, Sandhu has the ability to be frugal for the team, and that is exactly what the pacer plans to accomplish against Brisbane.
