This will be the 21st game of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25. Sydney Sixers will lock horns against the Brisbane Heat at the International Sports Stadium in Coffs Harbour. The match will be played on 3rd January 2025 at 12:35 PM IST.
Sydney Sixers suffered their first loss of this season in the last game against the Hurricanes. They are at the top of the points table with 4 wins in 5 games. Their batters have been in good form and the bowlers are picking up wickets consistently. Middle order’s form is a concern for them. The Sixers defeated Brisbane in their first meeting this season by 8 wickets.
Meanwhile, Brisbane Heat have now lost three games in a row after winning their first two matches. Batting has been the biggest issue for defending champions as none of the batters are performing consistently. Xavier Bartlett and Spencer Johnson are the only effective bowlers for the Heat. Michael Neser, if plays, will be a big addition for them. Brisbane Heat will look to settle the score in this match.
