Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers match predcition

Brisbane Heat will host Sydney Sixers in Match 49 of the 2019-20 Big Bash League at the Gabba this Thursday evening.

A win can cement Sydney Sixers' place in the knockout stages, while Brisbane Heat will be hoping to get back on track in their otherwise derailed campaign. The stakes are high when both teams collide at the Gabba and the contest is promising to be a riveting one. Well, there’s a lot at stake for punters like us too. With lucrative deals on offer in the market, let’s make the most of it. I have already handpicked the best bets from the market, just go through them and invest accordingly.

Tom Curran is the second highest wicket taker

How is that for odds, a whopping 3.35 for Tom Curran to be the top bowler for Sydney Sixers. That’s like an offer which is wasted if overlooked, I am going to tell you why. The speedster has been one of the most consistent bowlers for his team and in the league as a whole with his figures in the last four matches being – 2/23, 1/10, 1/58, 4/22 and was also the pick of the bowlers in two of the above mentioned games. But, that’s the recent form, read along and go through his exploits in the entire, it’s far more convincing.

Curran is currently the second highest wicket taker in the BBL with a total of 17 scalps from 12 matches at an average of 22.05. A pleasure for a T20 bowler, isn’t it? In the last three H2H matches, he has taken a total of 6 wickets. On top of that, their other major wicket taker Sean Abbott is out of action for a while Ben Dwarshuis has been inconsistent (12 wickets in 12 matches), so it is likely that the Englishman is going to spearhead the bowling attack and help us triple our investment by the end of the game.

Brisbane Heat have struck 68 compared to Sixers’ 53

This is a bet that promises a guaranteed return, you know why. But, if you need a recap, here’s a brief one for you. Brisbane Heat have hit a total of 68 sixes in 11 matches at an average of 6.18 per match compared to Sixers’ 53 in 12 matches (4.41 per match). Even though Brisbane Heat have been outnumbered as many as four times in the past five matches, we still cannot undermine the fact that Chris Lynn is playing for them.

In the last five H2H matches, Brisbane Heat have always hit more sixes than Sydney Sixers. While the Heats have managed to clear the ropes a total of 38 times, the Sixers piled just 20 sixes in the same time frame. Even in the last H2H clash earlier this season, Brisbane struck a total of 15 maximums while the Sixers could only manage 5. In the four matches played at the Gabba, the home team scored 18 sixes at a rate of 4.5 per innings while they conceded just 14. All the stats point in one direction, just pick up phones and place the bet.

Sixers have had the better opening stand 

Well, this is a tricky one because both the teams have had a somewhat similar fate when we dissect their opening stands, but there is a clear winner. Let’s find out. In the last five matches, Brisbane Heat have had the better opening stand on two occasions having scored just 167 runs (33.4 runs on an average) and shipped in 180 runs (36 runs on an average). On the flip side, the Sixers have been outscored just twice in their last five, which proves a point.

Even in home matches, the tale remains the same for the Heats, having had a better start in just two of the four matches played at the Gabba this season. In the last four H2H matches, the Sixers have enjoyed a better opening partnership in three matches. The stats clearly give Sydney Sixers a fine edge in respect to this bet. Do not hesitate, just place this bet, there’s money waiting for you on the other side.
