Preview

Brisbane Heat and Sydney Sixers are set to lock horns in Match No.34 of the Big Bash League 2021-22 at the Carrara Oval in Queensland on Tuesday, January 4. The Sixers, led by Moises Henriques, are comfortably placed at second in the table with 23 points from eight matches with a net run rate of 1.264.

Their previous game against Melbourne Renegades on Saturday had to be called off without a ball being bowled. The Heat, on the other hand, are hanging in the middle of the table with 14 points from eight matches. But the 14-run victory over the Hobart Hurricanes should give them a lot of confidence.

Probable top performers

Josh Philippe- Sydney Sixers

Josh Philippe has been in stupendous form in the ongoing edition of the BBL. The right-hander has notched 295 runs from eight games at an average of 49.16 and a strike rate of 149.74. Having scored three half-centuries with a top score of an unbeaten 99, Philippe, time and again, has given an account of his stupendous self.

Sean Abbott- Sydney Sixers

Sean Abbott has been exceptional for the Sixers in the current season of the T20 tournament. The right-arm fast bowler has picked up 12 wickets from six matches at an economy rate of 7.70. The fact that he has picked a wicket every nine balls he has bowled makes him a lethal prospect. Not to forget that Abbott can wield the willow to good effect.

Today’s match prediction: Sydney Sixers to win the match.
