In one game, the Thunder fell four runs short in their chase of 166. In Thunder’s last encounter, the Stars chased down 152 easily to hand them their second successive loss.

Who will win today’s match Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Thunder, 14th Match BBL 2021/22?

Sydney Thunder haven’t made any changes to their side and the same XI has been out on the park for three games in a row now. Alex Ross has been the most impressive batter and he has looked in blazing form. In fact, he has scored 155 runs in three innings and is yet to be dismissed. Sam Billings seems to be in good nick too. However, the lack of runs from Alex Hales has hurt the Sydney Thunder. He was their leading run-getter last season and he is vital at the top of the order.

The bowling has been slightly inconsistent. Young leg-spinner Tanveer Sangha has impressed once again and is at the top of the wicket charts after three games. The pace attack which comprises of Gurinder Sandhu, Nathan McAndrew, Daniel Sams and Ben Cutting hasn’t really stepped up and their inconsistency has played a big role in Sydney Thunder’s losses.

Meanwhile, Brisbane Heat’s batting hasn’t really come to the party yet. None of the Brisbane Heat batters have scored a half-century so far in this competition. Sam Heazlett who has batted in the middle-order is the only one who’s got runs consistently. The others have failed to convert their starts. The bowling hasn’t really looked threatening either but the addition of Mitchell Swepson might be the key.

Both teams have a similar win-loss record (1-2) heading into this game. But Sydney Thunder look a little more balanced and have some outright match-winners. Hence, they will start as slight favourites.
