HEA vs SIX T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2023
Match 25 of the 2022-23 Big Bash League sees Brisbane Heat welcome Sydney Sixers to the Gabba on Sunday evening. Brisbane Heat are bottom of the table after picking up only one win from their first five fixtures. Sydney Sixers have eight points and are level on points with Perth Scorchers and Sydney Thunder at the top of the table. The game gets underway on Sunday at 18:15 local time.
Brisbane Heat were competitive with both bat and ball in their last match but were unable to get the win over Sydney Thunder. Sydney Sixers are arguably a better team and this will be another tough evening for Heat.
Sydney Sixers are in fantastic form and have won recent games by margins of seven wickets, 34 runs and six wickets. They are full of self-belief ahead of this trip to Brisbane.

Any score over 165-170 will be very hard to chase down on this pitch. There will be pace in the wicket but also assistance from the pitch for the quick bowlers.

Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11
HEA Team News
As expected, bowling all-rounder James Bazley returned to the Brisbane Heat XI for the defeat against Sydney Thunder on Thursday and he looked back to full fitness after his hamstring tightness. Marnus Labuschagne and Usman Khawaja are both again away on international duty with Matt Renshaw also called up.
HEA Key Players
- Colin Munro- in the last game, he came up only two runs short of becoming the second player to hit a century in the BBL 2022-23. Another score like that in this game will give his team an excellent chance in this match.
- James Bazley- the bowling all-rounder returned to the team with impressive figures of 4-22 against Sydney Thunder. He brings a strike-rate of 13.1 in the tournament.
- Michael Neser- the international pace bowler enjoys bowling at the Gabba and will be a threat in this match. He dismissed Oliver Davies in the last fixture.
It has been a very poor start to the season for Brisbane Heat with the team picking up only one win, a six wicket victory over Adelaide Strikers in Match 13.

Sydney Sixers Team News & Playing 11
SIX Team News
34 year old English pace bowler, Chris Jordan, finally made his first appearance of the season in the win over Melbourne Renegades on Friday and he showed no signs of discomfort in his return from injury. We expect to see the same XI for the Sixers in this match with Sean Abbott likely to be rested again.
SIX Key Players
- James Vince- although the Englishman has not yet scored a half-century in this campaign, he has made plenty of consistent scores. He has hit 33, 26 and 39 from his last three innings.
- Ben Dwarshuis- the left-arm pace bowler will be looking forward to bowling on this Gabba wicket. He took 1-18 from his four overs in the last match.
- Chris Jordan- widely recognised as one of the best T20 pace bowlers over the last five years, Jordan picked up the wickets of Martin Guptill and Peter Handscomb in Friday’s win.
The Scorchers are targeting their fifth win in a row in the tournament. This run of form comes after they lost their previous three BBL games.
Sydney Sixers Predicted Playing 11
Kurtis Patterson, Josh Philippe (wk), James Vince, Mises Henriques (c), Jordan Silk, Dan Christian, Hayden Kerrm Ben Dwarshuis, Chris Jordan, Jackson Bird, Izharulhaq Naveed

Who will win Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers T20 Match?
With Colin Munro finding some batting form, it makes Brisbane Heat a far more attractive proposition to win this game. However, he will need some of his team-mates to also make significant contributions.
🏆 Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers Prediction
This New Year’s Day fixture in front of a big crowd in Brisbane should be excellent entertainment. Brisbane Heat have not been in good form but there were signs of encouragement in their last match and we expect them to give Sydney Sixers a good game. However, overall it is the Sixers who have the most quality with bat an ball and we are predicting another Sydney Sixers win.
