HEA vs HUR T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2023
Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes meet at the Gabba on Friday evening in Match 49 of the 2022-23 Big Bash League. Heat have won their last two games but are still next to bottom in the table. The Hurricanes are one point and two places above them. Read on as we preview the game. This match gets underway in Brisbane at 19:00 local time.
Brisbane Heat have suddenly turned their form around and will come into this ground full of self-belief. A win for Heat could see them move up into the play-off spots.
Although the Hurricanes were beaten by Perth Scorchers in their last match, they will travel to Brisbane knowing that a win will go a long way to securing their place in the play-offs.

Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11
HEA Team News
After missing the last week of fixtures with a back complaint and with the team producing good results, we expect Jack Wildermuth to be given an extra game to recover. It would be a surprise if there were any changes to the XI ahead of this match.
HEA Key Players
- Matt Renshaw - The recalled Australian Test batter won the game against Melbourne Stars with a scooped four from the final ball of the game and will be full of confidence ahead of this match.
- James Bazley - The all-rounder has produced useful scores with the bat and crucial wickets with the ball across the tournament. His striker-rate with the ball is 13.6
- Michael Neser - It has been another strong BBL campaign for the right-arm fast medium bowler. He took 4-25 from his four overs against Melbourne Stars.
After nine games of the season, Brisbane Heat had won only two matches but they are now targeting their third successive win in their 12th fixture.

Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HUR Team News
It was a tough contest for Hobart Hurricanes against Perth Scorchers in their last match in a game where none of their big hitting batters managed to get going. There are no new injuries or players coming back from injuries so we expect the same team to be selected.
HUR Key Players
- Matthew Wade - With two half-centuries in BBL 2022-23, the skipper and keeper-batter has made useful scores but has not been able to be as consistent as his normal high level.
- Patrick Dooley - The wrist spinner missed a run of games earlier this month but has been a regular wicket taker. No other spin bowler has picked up more dismissals.
- Riley Meredith - The 26 year old pace bowler picked up the wicket of Steve Eskinazi with his second ball of the game before dismissing the dangerous Josh Inglis in the last game.
The Hurricanes had won two in a row before losing out to top of the table Perth Scorchers in their last game on Wednesday.
