Brisbane Heat Playing XI vs Sydney Sixers- BBL 2025-26, Match 24:
Openers: Colin Munro, Jack Wildermuth
Brisbane Heat would look to replicate the same performance that the team delivered in the last game against the Melbourne Stars to end their winning run in the ongoing season and consolidate their position in the top five by doing so.
The Nathan McSweeney-led side got over the line in the final over of the match courtesy of a timely knock by Max Bryant and Xavier Batlett, who took the team to safety after the Heat underwent a collapse in the middle overs after a good start.
Your daily dose of cricket!
The team management would hope for the batters to avoid the mistakes they made in the last game and get the job done if they get off to a start.
The onus will be on the opening pair of Colin Munro and Jack Wildermur to lay a platform for the incoming batters to capitalize on as they did against the Stars.
Middle-order batsmen and all-rounders: Nathan McSweeney (c), Matthew Renshaw, Max Bryant, Hugh Weibgen, Jimmy Peirson (wk)
If we talk about the performance of Brisbane Heat’s middle order in the last match, it failed to make the most of the good work done by McSweeney and Renshaw, and would want to make up for it in this particular match.
Hugh Weibgen was dismissed quickly after the dismissal of two set batters, and it took a special effort from Max Bryant to get the team over the line.
Bryant was supported by Jimmy Peirson and Xavier Bartlett, who scored 14 runs off 8 balls and 21 runs off nine balls, respectively, which helped the team clinch an unlikely win.
The captain would want the middle-order batters to take more responsibility and avoid a collapse in the next match against an in-form bowling lineup of the Sixers.
Bowlers: Xavier Bartlett, Thomas Balkin, Matthew Kuhnemann, Ollie Peterson
As far as the Brisbane Heat’s bowling attack is concerned, it comprises names like Xavier Bartlett, who is one of the most experienced bowler in the bowling attack, which also has Thomas Balkin, Matthew Kuhnemann, and Ollie Peterson.
The captain. would bank on each of the team’s bowlers to have a good outing and restrict the batting lineup of the Sixers, which possesses in-form batters like the opening duo of Babar Azam and Daniel Hughes.
Brisbane Heat is expected to comprise three fast bowlers and one spin bowling option for this particular game, along with having the all-round abilities of Jack Wildermuth and part-time spin of Matt Renshaw to complete the bowling attack of the former winners.
All things said, it has to be a complete bowling effort from every bowler in the Brisbane Heat bowling lineup in order to keep the Sydney Sixers batters in check.
