Road to BBL 2023,Match 06

2023.12.11

Sydney Thunder will compete with Brisbane Heat in the sixth match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2023-24 on Tuesday.

Thunder will play their first game of the 13th BBL season, whereas the Heat’s previous game was canceled due to rain.

The Manuka Oval Stadium pitch proves advantageous for both batters and fast bowlers, yet it presents challenges for spin bowlers. In the initial overs of the match, the fast bowlers receive substantial assistance, and the swinging of the ball is particularly noticeable.

Team winning the toss is likely to bat first.

Squads:

Sydney Thunder: Alex Hales, Cameron Bancroft, Alex Ross, Daniel Sams, Chris Green(c), Oliver Davies, Matthew Gilkes (wk), Liam Doddrell, Nathan McAndrew, Liam Hatcher, Zaman Khan, Blake Nikitaras, Gurinder Sandhu, Tanveer Sangha, Toby Gray

Brisbane Heat: Usman Khawaja (c), Xavier Bartlett, Sam Billings (wk), Josh Brown, Max Bryant, Spencer Johnson, Matthew Kuhnemann, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan McSweeney, Colin Munro, Michael Neser, Jimmy Peirson, Will Prestwidge, Matthew Renshaw, Mitchell Swepson, Paul Walter, Jack Wildermuth
