The Heat have played two of their three matches at home thus far. Their only defeat came against Scorchers, who topped the table. The Heat is expected to prevail against the Hurricanes, who have blown hot and cold.
Prediction: Brisbane Heat to win the match.
So far in the tournament, the pitch in Brisbane has been pretty sporting. Run scoring won’t be difficult, but neither will the bowlers’ return empty-handed. The best course of action for teams should be to win the toss and field first.
Rain is possible between 7 and 8 p.m., which could cause delays. If the rain continues, the DLS Method may be used. The temperature is expected to be around 22 degrees Celsius.
If we look at the Brisbane Heat’s and Hobart Hurricanes’ last five games, HEA has won three and HUR has won two. With 16 balls remaining in their most recent match, Hobart Hurricanes defeated Brisbane Heat by 8 wickets.
A massive game in the context of our season tonight 🏏
