SYS vs BRH Key battles:
Babar Azam vs Thomas Balkin
Sydney Sixers’ opening batter Babar Azam, who played a match-winning knock for his team in the previous match against the Renegades, would look to build on it by making a significant contribution in the next match against the Brisbane Heat.
Babar will have to face the challenge of Thomas Balkin, who will aim to put on a strong performance against the Sixers by picking up wickets at regular intervals.
Daniel Hughes vs Xavier Bartlett
Babar’s opening partner, Daniel Hughes, who gave him good support, would also want to have a good outing with the bat in the next match.
Hughes will have to tackle the bowling of Xavier Bartlett, who will look to put all the experience that he has to good use and bowl a match-winning spell for his team.
Nathan McSweeney vs Sean Abbott
The Brisbane Heat captain, Nathan McSweeney, would want to lead from the front and get his team over the line in an important game against the Sixers.
McSweeney will face the challenge of Sean Abbott, who bowled well in the last game and would wish to keep up the good work against the in-form batting lineup of the Brisbane Heat.
Max Bryant vs Jack Edwards
Max Bryant will look to take control of Brisbane Heat’s batting innings while batting in the middle order, as he did against the Melbourne Stars.
Bryant will be up against Jack Edwards, who bowled well in the previous game against the Melbourne Renegades would hope to replicate the same effort against the Brisbane Heat.
