Sydney Sixers are favorites to win
Match 25 of the 2021-22 BBL sees Sydney Sixers go head to head with Brisbane Heat on Wednesday evening at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Current BBL title holders Sydney Sixers are in 2nd position after winning five of their opening six games. Brisbane Heat have eight points from five games and sit in 5th place. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at 18:05 local time.
Sydney Sixers beat Sydney Thunder on Boxing Day and are well placed to make it three successive BBL titles. They will be very confident of getting another win in this match.
Brisbane Heat have seen a huge improvement in their batting over their last two games and should be more competitive over the coming matches. However, getting a win over Sydney Sixers is a huge ask for the side.
Seven Network and Fox Sports will show this game in Australia. In India, you can watch it on Sony Six. Sky Cricket have the rights in the UK with Willow TV showing the match in the USA. In South Africa you can watch it on SuperSport with Sky Sports showing the game in New Zealand.
BBL Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
Two of the three toss winning captains have chosen to bat first at the Sydney Cricket Ground in this year’s BBL. We predict that the skipper who wins the toss will elect to bat in this game.
The first two BBL fixtures at the Sydney Cricket Ground delivered high scores this season. However, the pitch had slowed and was far more responsive to slower bowlers in the last game. We expect a par score to be 155-165.
Sunny followed by clear skies with the temperature staying in the low 20s throughout the game.

A derby game in any sport is always risky for the supposed favourite, but Sydney Sixers delivered a fine performance to beat Sydney Thunder by 30 runs on Monday. New signing Shadab Khan is expected to make his Sixers’ debut in this game.
Sydney Sixers have won their last three BBL games and are once again playing with the swagger of champions.
Josh Philippe (wk), James Vince, Moises Henriques (c), Daniel Hughes, Jordan Silk, Daniel Christian, Sean Abbott, Hayden Kerr, Ben Dwarshuis, Todd Murphy, Shadab Khan
Batsmen:C Lynn, J Vince (VC), S Heazlett, M Bryant
All Rounder:M Henriques
Wicket Keeper:B Duckett, J Philippe (C)
Bowler:S Abbott, B Dwarshuis, M Steketee, H Kerr
With Chris Lynn and Ben Duckett both making half-centuries in the last game, there is reason for optimism in the Brisbane Heat camp. They have kept a consistent side throughout the tournament and, with no injuries reported, we expect to see an unchanged side.
Brisbane Heat have struggled to string successive victories together but are showing signs of consistency in the batting department.
Chris Lynn, Max Bryant, Tom Cooper, Ben Duckett, Sam Heazlett, Jimmy Peirson (c) (wk), James Bazley, Mark Steketee, Matthew Kuhnemann, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Liam Guthrie
Sydney Sixers have a very strong record over Brisbane Heat but have found the going tougher in recent games.

Sydney Sixers are strong favorites for this match at the SCG.
Sydney Sixers have two of the three leading run-scorers in the tournament but in Ben Duckett, Brisbane Heat have a form batter of their own.
We are backing Josh Philippe, James Vince and Moises Henriques as our batting tips for Sydney Sixers. Philippe has hit the most runs and the most sixes in the tournament so far.
Chris Lynn, Ben Duckett and Sam Heazlett are our tips for Brisbane Heat with the bat. Duckett is playing himself back into England contention.
For Sydney Sixers, Sean Abbott, Shadab Khan and Hayden Kerr are our bowling tips. Khan is an exceptional leg-spin bowler.
For Brisbane Heat, we are recommending Mark Steketee, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and James Bazley with the ball. Bazley has leaked runs but is a regular wicket taker.
If Brisbane Heat can continue to produce better batting performances and totals then they will certainly begin to climb the table. However, we predict that this game will be tough for Brisbane Heat against Sydney Sixers who are playing excellent cricket once again. Our prediction is a Sydney Sixers victory.
