Cricket Free Tips | BBL 2021/22, Match 34: Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers

Brisbane Heat will play against the Sydney Sixers in the 34th BBL 2021/22 match, which was cancelled due to Covid-19 yesterday. Brisbane Heat returned to winning ways after beating the in-form Hobart Hurricanes by 14 runs in their away encounter, which would have boosted their confidence to a great extent. Their bowlers were excellent, and they did a fantastic job defending a meagre 150-run total. They are in fifth place in the rankings with 14 points after three victories and five losses.

Sydney Sixers were defeated by Perth Scorchers by 10 runs in a pre-arranged game on Tuesday, their second loss of the competition. The Sixers’ failure of their top-order batters is causing them plenty of problems, but they can still cling to second place in the rankings.

Weather
Carrara Oval is forecast to have temperatures ranging around 28°C. The game will be played in cloudy weather with heavy humidity.

Pitch
Although there is help for both pacers and spinners, the Carrara Oval surface is good to bat on. Despite the quick bowlers getting some swing early on, the ball should skid through beautifully off the deck. Given the turn available, the spinners should also be used as the match proceeds. With both teams preferring to chase after winning the toss, having wickets in hand will be crucial.

We predict the Sydney Sixers to be too strong in the field for the Brisbane Heat and have immediate recovery from yesterday loss. Even if Sydney Sixers’ top order fails to deliver, they have plenty of batting talent lower down the order, and we expect the away side to win.
