Brisbane Heat hold a slight advantage on paper.

Batting first has been the winning formula at Manuka Oval, Canberra, with only 39% of chases successful.

The powerplay could be key - Sydney Thunder's 8.58 RPO gives them early momentum. With the new ball, Sydney Thunder have been excellent - an economy of 9.08 in powerplays.

Brisbane Heat excel in the middle phase, scoring at 8.63 RPO when others tend to stall.

Sydney Thunder's death bowling has been miserly at 9.55 economy - crucial in tight finishes.

When you break down the matchups, Brisbane Heat come out ahead more often than not. Sydney Thunder have the talent to win on their day, but the consistency isn't quite there.

Brisbane Heat at 58% confidence looks solid value.
