The game gets underway at 19:15 on New Year's Day in Brisbane.
Brisbane Heat were one of the best teams in the second half of the tournament last year and they have carried that form through to this season. Even up against a talented Sydney Sixers who always seem able to produce the goods, Brisbane Heat will be full of confidence.
With Saturday’s no-result for Sydney Sixers, it is now two games without a victory. However, they did get three wins prior to this run and they have plenty of experienced players in good form at the moment.

Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11
HEA Team News
Captain Colin Munro said he wanted to “give the boys clarity” by not changing the side ahead of the last match with Sydney Thunder. As they got over the line by a comfortable 15 runs, we are not expecting to see any changes for Brisbane Heat in this match.
HEA Key Players
- Nathan McSweeney- the batting all-rounder has caught the eye with his batting in this campaign and he hit eight boundaries in the win over Sydney Thunder.
- Colin Munro- the skipper made a golden duck at the top of the order in Match 16 but the left-hander has batted in 405 innings and his confidence will not be shaken ahead of this match.
- Xavier Bartlett- it has been an excellent tournament so far for the right-arm fast medium bowler who has already taken a three-wicket haul on two occasions.
- Spencer Johnson- the left-arm fast medium bowler took 2/24 against Sydney Thunder with the wickets of Daniel Sams and Alex Ross.
HEA Team Form
Brisbane Heat have won four of their five games this season with the only match they did not get the victory in ending as a no-result.

Sydney Sixers Team News & Playing 11
SIX Team News
This will be an important test for Sydney Sixers who narrowly lost to Melbourne Stars before their match with Sydney Thunder was rained off. The team management will be desperate to get back to winning ways and we expect to see the same XI selected.
SIX Key Players
- James Vince- the England international seems to have fallen out of favour over the last 12 months with the national selectors but their loss is Sydney Sixers’ gain.
- Moises Henriques- the captain’s presence, alongside the middle order will be a huge boost to the team. He always bats at a strong stre-rate.
- Jackson Bird- the experienced bowler showed he is able to put the previous delivery behind him and pick up a wicket when he was hit for a four by Tom Kohler Cadmore before dismissing him the very same over.
- Sean Abbott- the all-time leading BBL wicket taker added one more dismissal as he got Cameron Bancroft in Match 19. Once again he is racking up the numbers in a BBL season.
SIX Team Form
Sydney Sixers got off to an excellent start in the BBL 2023-24 but they have not won any of the two most recent games.
Sydney Sixers Predicted Playing 11
Josh Phillipe (wk), James Vince, Kurtis Patterson, Moises Henriques (c). Jordan Silk, Jack Edwards, Joel Davies, Sean Abott, Ben Dwarshuis, Jackson Bird, Todd Murphy
