BBL 2024-25 | Predicting Sydney Thunders’ Playing XI for their clash against Brisbane Heat

The Sydney Thunder’s playing XI are all set to turn their fortunes against the Brisbane Heat in the 25th game of the Big Bash League 2024-25, slated to take place on January 6 at the Gabba in Brisbane. The THU side is currently in the second spot with four wins and one defeat and seems to be standing at the dominant spot.

David Warner and his men need to win this game to maintain their dominating momentum heading to the next game. The win in this game with a superior net run rate can make them lead the charts.

The side heads into this game after beating Perth Scorchers by four wickets in their last outing. Warner and his team will be looking to register another win against the Heat in this game considering their balanced squad and in-form players in the team. Here is the probable playing XI of the Sydney Thunder for their clash against Brisbane Heat.

Openers: Blake Nikitaras and David Warner

The two-star cricketers will be looking to give a great start to Thunder in this game. Blake needs to step up at the top order of the game while Warner has returned to his classic form on his home turf. The THU captain has made 49 off 33 balls, featuring five boundaries and one six in the game.

Batters: Matthew Gilkes, Oliver Davies, Sam Billings

Gilkes looks great during the last game, having racked up 43 off 36 balls featuring three fours and two sixes in the last game. Davies is one of the best batters from the camp to watch out for, while wicketkeeper batter Sam Billings needs to mark his impact in the game.

All-rounders: Sherfane Rutherford, Chris Green, Hugh Weibgen, Tom Andrews

Sherfane is the big power hitter and possesses the ability to crush the bowlers in the T20 games. He is a handy bowler as well. In addition, Chris Green has eight wickets to his name and is the highest wicket-taker of the side. He will be looking to maintain his great form heading into this game.

Bowlers: Lockie Ferguson, Daniel Sams

Lockie Ferguson has picked up seven wickets in the league so far and seems one of the best bowlers from the side. The star seamer will be looking to continue his great form heading into this game. On the other hand, Sams has been an exceptional bowler for the side and can thwart the Heat in this game.
