Preview:
Brisbane Heat will take on Sydney Sixers in the 34th match of the BBL 2021/22 on Tuesday. Brisbane Heat returned to the winning ways after beating the in-form Hobart Hurricanes by 14 runs in their away fixture, which would have boosted their confidence to a great extent. Their bowlers were top class and did really well in defending the meagre score of 150 runs. With 3 wins and 5 losses, they are at the 5th spot in the standings with 14 points.
Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, are in exceptional form and occupy the second spot in the standings with 23 points. Their previous match was washed out completely without a single ball being bowled. They still have momentum, which they need to carry forward for the rest of the matches.
