SIX vs HEA Match Prediction [Source: @SixersBBL, @BBL/x]

Sydney Sixers (SIX) and defending champions Brisbane Heat (HEA) will collide in match number 21 of the BBL 2024-25 season at the Coffs Harbour International Stadium. The match, marking the sixth respective fixture for both sides this competition, will commence from 12:35 PM IST onwards on Friday, January 3.

Sydney Sixers

The Sydney Sixers had their four-match unbeaten streak recently snapped by Hobart Hurricanes in Hobart by 50 runs. Nonetheless, the Sixers still occupy the top spot on the BBL 2024-25 points table with four wins from five matches all while holding a formidable NRR of 0.228. Another win at this stage of the competition will further solidify Sixers’ position on the standings.

Brisbane Heat

Defending champions Brisbane Heat started off their title defence with successive wins over Melbourne Stars and Adelaide Strikers upfront. However, Colin Munro and co. lost each of their subsequent three fixtures to have their winning momentum abruptly hampered. As of now, the Brisbane Heat team is placed in the bottom half of the BBL 2024-25 points table.

How Will the Coffs Harbour Behave?

The Coffs Harbour International Stadium tends to offer considerable assistance to batters, considering the average first innings total at the venue in all BBL matches so far has amounted to 168. It is imperative for the fast bowlers to make early inroads with the new ball before batters can unleash their strokes in the middle and slog overs. The captain winning the toss will likely opt to field first, because the chasing teams have won three of the four completed fixtures hosted here.
