This is HEA vs HUR Dream11 Prediction. It will be the 36th game of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25. Brisbane Heat will be against the Hobart Hurricanes at the Gabba in Brisbane. The match will be played on 16th January 2025 at 2:00 PM IST.
Brisbane Heat is in the 5th position with 3 wins, 4 losses and an abandoned game in 8 matches. They must win their remaining two games to qualify for the BBL finals. They lost their last match by 56 runs against Adelaide Strikers. Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Paul Walter will be available for this game which is a great sign for them. The bowlers are in good form but the top order’s form has been a concern for the Heat.
Meanwhile, Hobart Hurricanes have already qualified for the BBL finals with 6 wins, one loss and one abandoned match. They have won their last 6 games in a row which shows how good they’ve been as a side. The bowlers are in top form and the batters are playing as a unit. Considering his importance at the Gabba, Billy Stanlake’s exclusion will be a big blow for them. The Hurricanes will be eyeing their 7th consecutive win of BBL 14.
