Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat will collide in the 28th match of the Big Bash League 2022-23 on January 4 at North Sydney Oval, Sydney.

While Sydney Sixers are ranked third on the points table with four victories in seven games, Brisbane Heat languish at the bottom, having won two of their six matches.

It will be the second match in a matter of three days for the two teams. In the last fixture, the Heat upstaged the Sixers in a run-fest as Josh Brown and Nathan McSweeney's half-centuries helped the side record 224. Although Sydney gave them a scare in the run-chase, Michael Neser's bowling and fielding brilliance led to a 15-run win.
