SIX vs HEA T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2024
The International Sports Stadium, Coffs Harbour is the venue for Match 24 of the 2023/24 Big Bash League between Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat on Wednesday evening. The teams occupy the top two places in the table with Brisbane Heat still unbeaten after six matches. Read on as we preview this game. The match gets underway at 19:15 local time.
Sydney Sixers last won a game in Match 11 and have experienced one defeat and two no results since including one match abandoned without a ball being bowled. Although they are the home side, this will be a very tough challenge against the top of the table side.
Brisbane Heat sit in first place after six completed matches in this year’s BBL although three of their wins have come against the two bottom placed teams. This trip to Sydney will probably be Brisbane Heat’s toughest contest of the season so far.

Sydney Sixers Team News & Playing 11
SIX Team News
Although the bowlers got a full run out in the no-result against Sydney Thunder on Saturday, the batters for Sydney Sixers could do with some match practice after getting only four overs before the rain came in that match and no play at all on New Year’s Day! No changes are expected for this game.
SIX Key Players
- Josh Philippe- the 26 year old keeper-batter is approaching 2500 T20 runs at a strike-rate of 134.51. He will be keen for a big score with the T20 World Cup coming up later this year.
- James Vince- the right-handed opener looked back to his best in his last full innings when he had hit 83 runs from 55 balls before being run out against Melbourne Stars.
- Jackson Bird- the 37 year old right arm fast medium bowler gets movement early in the innings and has got off to an excellent start in this campaign.
- Sean Abbott- the bowling all-rounder missed a game earlier in the tournament due to a personal issue but has a fine BBL record and will be hard to face at Coffs Harbour.
SIX Team Form
Sydney Sixers have won three matches in this campaign but have not won a game since before Christmas.

Poor weather meant there wasn’t even a toss ahead of the Brisbane Heat versus Sydney Sixers clash on Monday at the Gabba so there was a good opportunity for the players to rest. No injuries have been reported for the table toppers ahead of this match.
HEA Key Players
- Nathan McSweeney- the young all-rounder has been focusing on his batting so far in this campaign and hit seven fours and one six in his last innings.
- Josh Brown- the right-handed opener always bats with aggression and he hit 39 runs from 29 balls in the win over Sydney Thunder in Match 16.
- Xavier Bartlett- the 25 year old was a regular for Australia under-19s earlier in his career but his wicket taking exploits in BBL 2023-24 will mean that he is on Australia’s radar ahead of the T20 World Cup.
- Matthew Kuhnemann- the 27 year old left-arm spinner got himself into Australia’s Test team off the back of impressive BBL performances last year. He comes into this game after figures of 2/25.

🏆 Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat Prediction
A top of the table clash is always exciting in any sport or league but this match is particularly so due to the poor weather which has prevented much play over recent days in the BBL. Sydney Sixers have been one of the best teams in this competition during the last five years and they once again look a strong side. However, Brisbane Heat ended last year in good form and are matching the same level this year. Our prediction is for Brisbane Heat to win.
