BRH vs SYT Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2020-21
Sydney Thunder looks unstoppable at the moment. They’re on a juggernaut and are coming back from 5 consecutive wins. Not only the victories but the manner in which they’ve decimated their opposition makes them a very dangerous opposition.
Brisbane Heat on the other hand put up a clinical performance against a strong Sydney Sixers and would want to leave no stone unturned to pocket another victory.
Read on as we preview Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Thunder. The match will be the 28th game of the BBL 2020-21 and will be played at the Gabba, Brisbane. It is scheduled to begin at 6:15 PM local time
Apart from the two losses against Melbourne Stars and Sydney Thunder in their first two games, Brisbane Heat hasn’t been that bad. They’ve a 2 run loss, a 4 wicket victory, a 1 run loss and another 4 wicket victory in their last 4 matches. Heats could have easily won all of their last 4 matches but wasn’t the case two be.
Bowling from Brisbane Heat has been very good throughout the tournament. Xavier Bartlett, Mark Steketee, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Lewis Gregory, all have been very good with the ball. The all rounders have also supported their main bowlers to perfection.
The major concern for Brisbane Heat is the form of their batsmen who’ve been very inconsistent. Even in the last match against Sydney Sixers, Max Bryant, Joe Denly, Sam Heazlett, Jimmy Pierson, all got good starts but failed to convert them in to a big score.
This is something Heat’s need to work on if they’re to emerge as a contender for a place in the playoffs. Chris Lynn is expected to make a return into the playing XI which will be a massive boost for the Heats.
They’ll be up against Sydney Thunder’s who’ve been sensational in the tournament, comprehensively winning their last 5 games. A net run rate of +1.880 and 5 wins in 6 games shows that Sydney Thunders by far have been the best team of the tournament.
Usman Khwaja, Alex Hales, Callum Ferguson, Olivier Davies are in top form with the bat.
The presence of Daniel Sams, Ben Cutting and Chris Green adds a lot of depth in the batting order while giving them plenty of handy bowling options.
Tanvir Sangha has emerged as one of the main assets with the ball while Chris Tremain and Nathan McAndrew have performed brilliantly in the limited opportunity they’ve got.
Overall, Sydney Thunder look an immaculately balanced team with quality in their batting and bowling department and are big favourites to win the match.

BRH vs SYT Toss Prediction
Gabba is not a wicket where teams prefer to chase. Both skipper would want to win the toss and bat.
Pitch Report
Gabba is one of the fastest wickets in Australia. It has pace, bounce and the bowlers will definitely enjoy bowling here. However, once you get used to the pace and bounce of the pitch, there are plenty of run scoring opportunities as well.

SYT Key Players
- Alex Hales - Alex Hales is now beginning to get into a zone of his own. He backed his ruthless 71 against Melbourne Stars with a fiery 45 against Melbourne Renegades.The kind of form he’s in, he’ll be a big threat for Brisbane Heat
