Who will win Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat, WBBL 2019?
In a repeat of last year’s final, defending champions Brisbane Heat get their Women’s Big Bash League title defence under way when they take on Sydney Sixers at the North Sydney Oval. The match takes place on October 19 and is scheduled to start at 19:40 local time.
Sydney Sixers have already kicked off their Big Bash campaign in style. Ellyse Perry hit 81 from 48 balls and then followed it up with two wickets in her first over as the Sixers beat Sydney Thunder.
Brisbane beat Sydney Sixers in last year’s final, however, and player of the match in that game, Beth Mooney, will hope to continue the form she showed at the North Sydney Oval playing for Australia.
