Preview:
Just when it looked as though the Heat might be making a charge towards the finals, they go and lose back-to-back games to the Strikers and Renegades.
Brisbane now faces an uphill battle with just three games remaining, but all hope is not lost as they prepare for one last game at the Gabba on Wednesday night.
Heat fans would probably prefer to be facing somebody other than the Sixers though, a team that sits second on the ladder after knocking off the Stars on Monday night.
These two sides last got together exactly a month ago, a game the Heat won comfortably by 48 runs at the SCG. Things have changed a lot since then however, as Brisbane’s top order continues to show signs of inconsistency.
The Sixers, meanwhile, remain one of the more well-rounded teams in the competition.
Sydney also holds a tremendous 5-0 record as the away underdog against Brisbane, so take the Sixers to win this one outright.
