Brisbane Heat Women (BH-W) will take on Sydney Sixers Women (SS-W) in Match 40 of the Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL 2024), to be played at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane, on Sunday, November 24. Heat’s last game against Melbourne Stars Women was reduced to seven overs per side. They managed to beat them by nine wickets and became the third team to qualify for the playoffs. 

Heat have won six out of their nine games and are in the third spot in the points table. On the other hand, Sydney Sixers after experiencing a tied game against Perth Scorchers, their exit is almost confirmed and it’s just a formality now. They have won just three games having played nine games. Heat would hope to climb up the points table with a win against Sixers and the latter would like to sign off with a win.

BH-W vs SS-W Match Details:

Pitch Report

The Allan Border Field‘s pitch is considered a good batting wicket with pacers initially getting a lateral movement. An extra bounce on the cards may trouble the batters at the start before the deck flattens out. On the weather front, the sky will be partly cloudy with no major rain threat during the game. Hence, the skipper winning the toss will be tempted to bat first in a bid to put up a big total to keep the chasing pressure on the opponent.
