Topping the league table was a stroll in the park for Brisbane Heat, and they were on the verge of creating history- getting through to qualifiers without any loss.

Jimmy Peirson showed he can step up with a valuable contribution against the Scorchers, but the Kiwi is too big a hole to fill right at the top. Matt Renshaw is flying in from Adelaide, after being released from the test squad for this particular contest.Him and Nathan McSweeney need to come up with a big performance for the Heat to take advantage of the powerplay. Their middle order and lower order is performing really well, with Michael Neser, Paul Walter and Max Bryant amongst the runs. Their potent bowling attack has never conceded more than 170 runs this term.

The Sixers haven’t beaten the Heat in their last 5 outings, including their recent meeting in a rain marred game at Coffs Harbour this season and the Challenger at the SCG which ended their hopes of winning another title.Kurtis Patterson will slot into the XI to take Vince’s place as opener and will pair up with Daniel Hughes, who has been a gun batsman for Sixers for a long time.

Josh Philippe is still searching for form but thankfully captain Moises Henriques finally got to get the monkey off his back just in time for the knockouts-- with a splendid finish to take the Sixers home. Jordan Silk is another key batter the Sixers will count on.

Todd Murphy, Ben Dwarshuis and Jackson Bird are doing a good job, but they need other bowlers to assist them. Sean Abbott is far from menacing, Hayden Kerr is still a bit rusty, and Jack Edwards doesn’t look good at all to bowl four overs.

The Sixers know how to win big moments when their backs are against the wall, and they demonstrated that quality in their last league match against the Scorchers. They may be a bit depleted at the moment but know what they need to do to upstage the strongest Brisbane Heat side they’ve faced in the recent years.

Our prediction is for Sydney Sixers to win this contest.
