HEA vs SIX Preview
The Brisbane Heat have not had a good start to their BBL 14 campaign. They have played five matches in the tournament so far and have lost three of them. They are currently at the sixth position in the points table at a net run rate of -0.727.
On the other hand, the Sydney Sixers have played brilliantly in BBL 2024-25 so far. They have won five of their four games and are currently sitting pretty at the top of the table. The Sixers have stacked up come good wins to start off the campaign and have a net run rate of +0.228 at present.
While Heat will be looking to win this game and improve their position in the points table, the Sixers will be keen on maintaining their momentum and stay at the top. With both teams looking to give their best to pick up the two important points from the game, it is expected to be a close encounter.
Weather - The weather at the Coffs Harbour is expected to be cloudy with plenty of showers. The highest temperature during the game is expected to be around 21°C with a 80% chance of rain.
Pitch Report - The pitch at Coffs Harbour generally favours the seamers. The new ball bowlers get a bit movement in the air and off the track and this persists till later stages in the game. With rain in the air and overcast conditions batting will probably be even more difficult during the game and the pacers might play a crucial role in deciding the fate of the game.
Coffs Harbour, New South Wales- Record of Chasing Teams
Only one match was played at the venue in the last edition of the Big Bash League. That match too was a rain affected affair and the team chasing won the game. The predicted rain will be in the minds of the two captains during the toss and hence the one winning the toss might look to field first.
