Predicting Brisbane Heat’s playing XI for their clash against Sydney Thunder in the BBL 2024/25

Brisbane Heat will be up against Sydney Thunder in the 25th match of the ongoing Big Bash League 2024/25. The match is set to take place at the Gabba and the visiting team will be high on confidence. In their 5 matches, Thunder has 4 wins and a solitary loss in the league so far. They are currently placed second in the table and might start as the favourites to win the match.

Brisbane has won two and lost three matches with one of their games ending without a result in the league so far. After suffering three losses in a row, the Heat emerged victorious in their most recent game. It wouldn’t be easy for them to face Thunder who have been arguably the best side of the tournament so far. Brisbane has to bring their A-game to beat Thunder.

Here’s the predicted playing XI of Brisbane Heat for their match against Sydney Thunder – 

Top Order – Tom Banton (WK), Colin Munro (C), and Nathan McSweeney

The Stars’ top order has the likes of Tom Banton, Colin Munro, and Nathan McSweeney. While the latter did well in one match, others have been poor. In particular, Munro has been woefully out of form himself. Banton has struggled to make an impact as well. The failure of the top order is one of the main reasons behind their not-so-good tournament so far.

Middle Order – Matt Renshaw, Max Bryant, and Paul Walter

Brisbane’s middle order has some of the best players in the world. They have been the strength of the side too. Matt Renshaw has scored 118 runs at an SR of over 171. Max Bryant has been brilliant by averaging 51 at an SR of 154.54. Slater has done decently as a batter. But the Heat would need a better performance from him. Even with the ball, he can be better.

Lower Middle Order – Will Prestwidge and Xavier Bartlett

In the lower middle order, Brisbane has the likes of Will Prestwidge and Xavier Bartlett. Neither of them has contributed with a significant batting performance. With the ball, Prestwidge has 2 wickets in 3 matches at a bowling average of 27 and an economy rate of 8.75. Bartlett has been very good with the ball, claiming 9 wickets in 5 innings at an average of 15.88.

Bowlers – Mitchell Swepson, Spencer Johnson, and Matthew Kuhnemann

Brisbane’s bowling attack is likely to have Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Kuhnemann, and Spencer Johnson. The spin duo of Swepson and Kuhnemann have been a disappointment for the Heat so far. While they have been decently economical, their inability to take wickets has cost the team. Spencer has been one of the best bowlers and can operate well in the Powerplay overs and the death overs.

  • Tom Banton (WK)
  • Colin Munro (C )
  • Nathan McSweeney
  • Matt Renshaw
