SIX vs HEA, Match 24: Venue Analysis

The surface at the International Sports Stadium in Coffs Harbour is suitable for the batters. The boundaries are not that big and the batters can clear them with ease. With a quick outfield too, runs scoring will be easy at this venue.


SIX vs HEA, Match 24 - Toss Factor

The stadium will host its first and only game of the ongoing BBL campaign. The skipper winning the toss might look to bowl first and then chase down the target.

Scenario: If Sydney Sixers Fields First

Jackson Bird and Jack Edwards have been the top two wicket-takers for the Sixers so far this season. The pair will look to continue picking up wickets against the Heat as well. The former has picked up eight wickets while Edwards has snared seven scalps. Experienced campaigner Ben Dwarshuis is also around to do the job. The trio of James Vince, Josh Philippe and Jordan Silk will be key in a run-chase.

Scenario: If Brisbane Heat Fields First

Xavier Bartlett and Mitchell Swepson are the leading wicket-takers for the Heat so far in BBL 13. The duo would hope to take wickets and restrict the Sixers to a low total. Colin Munro and Nathan McSweeney will be the main men along with wicketkeeper batter Sam Billings in the run-chase.


SIX vs HEA, Match 24 - Top Captain and Vice-captain choices

Scenario: If Brisbane Heat Fields First

Nathan McSweeney (HEA)

Nathan McSweeney has struck the second-most runs for Heat this season. The 24-year old right-handed player is averaging 37.00 with the highest score of 73. The top-order batter won the Player of the Match award for his match-winning fifty against Sydney Thunder. The Heat will rely on him again especially in a big run-chase.

Colin Munro (HEA)

Captain Colin Munro is leading the batting charts for Brisbane in this campaign. The left-handed New Zealander is averaging 52.33 with one half-century to his name. The 36-year old opening player would hope to lead his side from the front and provide a solid and aggressive start while chasing a big target.


Scenario: If Sydney Sixers Fields First

Jordan Silk (SIX)

Jordan Silk is the leading run-scorer for the Sixers this season. The right-handed middle-order player has an average of 58.00 with one half-century under his belt. Silk has been consistent in almost each game with scores of 26*, 23, 66* and 1. The Sixers will depend on him to guide them home while chasing a stiff target.

James Vince (SIX)

After a poor start with three low scores, veteran James Vince struck 83 off just 55 which included eight fours and two maximums against Melbourne Stars. The 32-year old right-handed batter looked to get back to his form in that knock. The Sixers will look at him again to provide a good start in a big run-chase. 


SIX vs HEA, Match 24 - Big Risk, Big Return Choices

Josh Philippe (SIX)

Wicketkeeper batter Josh Philippe is a familiar name in this franchise for some time now. The right-handed batter is averaging 20.00 and is yet to score a half-century this season. The 26-year old has got starts in almost all matches with scores of 29, 16, 25, 19 and 11. He will finally look to convert those starts into a significant knock this time around.

Sam Billings (HEA)

Wicketkeeper batter Sam Billings has racked up the second-most runs after Munro and McSweeney for the Heat so far. The right-handed middle-order player is averaging 26.00 with the highest score of 40. His other three scores read as 23, 23  and 18. Billings is a risky but worthy pick for this contest.
