SYT vs BRH Knockout Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2020-21

Having recaptured some winning form in perfect time to charge into the play-offs and then see off Adelaide Strikers in the Eliminator, Brisbane Heat now take on Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League 2020-21 Knockout. The match, at the Manuka Oval in Canberra, takes place on January 31 and the live action begins at 19:15 local time.

Brisbane Heat won their final two group games, with Chris Lynn hitting half-centuries in each. They then restricted Adelaide Strikers to 130/7 in the Eliminator last time out, with in-form Marnus Labuschagne – whose return has coincided with their climb up the table – taking 3-13. In reply, Jimmy Peirson anchored the innings with 47* from 44 balls as the Heat won by six wickets with seven balls to spare.

Sydney Thunder finished third, meanwhile, after signing off with a nine-wicket win against the Strikers. It was a second win in three games, but they did three in a row before that and five of their last eight in total to counter a fine start. Alex Hales’ batting will be key, and he hit 63* from 39 balls last time out, but it is Brisbane with the greater momentum now.

The evening will be cloudy and humid in Canberra but it should stay dry.

Pitch Condition

The Manuka Oval leans towards batting over bowling, but there are occasions when it can prove a little more balanced.

Sydney Thunder Team News & Playing 11

SYT Team News

Both Alex Ross and Tanveer Sangha started the last game, as the Thunder instead swapped out Oliver Davies rather than choosing between the two. The rain-shortened win against Adelaide Strikers should give them enough cause to stick with an unchanged team.

SYT Key Players

  • Alex Hales: Smashed 110 against Sydney Sixers and 63* from 39 balls in the most recent win against Adelaide Strikers. He has 545 runs so far this season and an excellent strike rate.
  • Callum Ferguson: The captain anchored the innings for Hales in each of his last two match-winning knocks and now has 110 runs in his last three innings.
  • Brendan Doggett: Has taken eight wickets in his four BBL matches this season, bowling tidily to return 1-19 from three overs last time out.

SYT Team Form

Alex Hales’ century led the Thunder to a BBL-record of 232/5 as they ended a three-game losing streak with victory in the Sydney Smash. They then lost once to Adelaide Strikers, by six runs, before bouncing back against the same opposition to beat them by nine wickets and finish third in the group stage. Hales top-scored in their most recent win too, hitting 63* from 39 balls

SYT vs BRH Dream11 Prediction

  • Wicket Keeper

    Sam Billings and Jimmy Peirson are the same price and, while Peirson’s batting was key to the Heat’s most recent win, picking him would still be a gamble given he is less prominent in the batting order.

  • Batsmen

    Chris Lynn and Alex Hales are both key at the top of the respective batting orders and even at 10.5 credits each, there is no question both must be included. Callum Ferguson and Usman Khawaja are both nine credits and they are up the Thunder order with Hales.

  • All rounder

    Brisbane’s other key batsman is now Marnus Labuschagne, who is also in excellent wicket-taking form too. He is 9.5 credits and, with no Daniel Sams for the Thunder, he is also  the top all-round choice. Jack Wildermuth is a tidy option at 8.5 credits for the Heat, meanwhile.

  • Bowlers

    Mark Steketee’s wicket-taking form speaks for itself, even if it has dipped a little in the last couple of matches, while Mitchell Swepson has taken wickets since coming into the Heat team after international duty. For the Thunder, Tanveer Sangha has been in good form – amounting to 615 points – and Brendan Doggett can be picked up at the same 8.5-credit cost having returned to the team with some consistent wicket-taking too.

  • Captain /Vice Captain

    Marnus Labuschagne took another three wickets last time out and his batting is useful too. He is the man in form and the obvious captain pick. Also in good form are the top batsmen in each side and Alex Hales’ run-scoring form has been particularly excellent in the Thunder’s last two wins. Mark Steketee is another option after his six wickets in the last three games.

THU vs HEA Dream11 Team Prediction

  • Batsmen:Chris Lynn, Alex Hales (vc), Callum Ferguson, Usman Khawaja

  • All Rounder:Marnus Labuschagne (c), Jack Wildermuth

  • Wicket Keeper:Sam Billings

  • Bowler:Mark Steketee, Mitchell Swepson, Brendan Doggett, Tanveer Sangha

Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11

BRH Team News

Xavier Bartlett started the last match but Morne Morkel replaced him after an eight-ball over and the giant South African could start this match. Max Bryant missed out altogether last time out, but Sam Heazlett may not have done enough to keep his place.

BRH Key Players

  • Marnus Labuschagne: Three wickets in each of the last two games and some useful knocks since returning from international duty too.
  • Mitchell Swepson: Bowling in tandem with Labuschagne, he has picked up two wickets in each of the last three matches of BBL 2020-21 – keeping things tight too.
  • Chris Lynn: Back-to-back half-centuries were key in getting the Heat into these play-offs, and also took the big-hitting opener beyond the 400-run mark for the season.

BRH Team Form

Brisbane Heat have won their last three matches to keep their BBL campaign alive, just as it looked to be heading for disappointment. Chris Lynn hit half-centuries and Marnus Labuschagne fell just short in improved batting performances against Melbourne Renegades and Perth Scorchers, but it was Labuschagne’s bowling that made the difference last time out against Adelaide Strikers. He took 3-13 and Mitchell Swepson 2-23 as they shared five wickets for the second successive match. Set 131 to win, Joe Denly (41) and Jimmy Peirson (47*) ensured they overcame an early wobble to win by six wickets.
