BH vs HBH Match Prediction & Analysis
Brisbane Heat are at number 5 in the points table with 3 wins from 8 matches and desperately need a win to stay alive in the race to playoffs. Theyβve won 2 of their 4 games at The Gabba.
In their last outing here, BRH successfully chased down 174 runs. Colin Munro will expect his bowlers to bounce back in this match after their poor performance in Adelaide in the recent loss.
Hobart Hurricanes have won 6 matches on the trot after they lost their opening game. The Hurricanes are in sublime form and will pose a threat to Brisbaneβs playoff hopes.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Brisbane Heat Preview
Colin Munro will be under pressure both as a skipper and as a batter. He came in at number 7 in the last match while chasing a massive target of 252 against the Strikers and was out for a duck.
He struggled with his strike rate in the previous game at their home ground in Brisbane scoring just 23 off 25 balls while opening the innings. Matt Renshaw and Max Bryant led the Heat to victory in that game.
The two have been in great form and have made consistent contributions in the middle order. Nathan McSweeney also looked in good shape in the last match at number 3 and is a key batsman to watch out for.
Hobart Hurricanes Preview
Hobart Hurricanes will be looking for their 7th straight win as they take on the Heat in Brisbane. The variety in the bowling attack has allowed Hobart to stay on top of the game while bowling first in each of their last three outings.
They restricted the opposition to 154, 164, and 186 in their last 3 matches. The bowling returns have improved with every game. Riley Meredith and Billy Stanlake will spearhead the Hurricanesβ pace attack.
Theyβve also got the experienced Chris Jordan in the squad while being led by a fast-bowling captain in Nathan Ellis. Then there are some promising spinners like Nikhil Chowdhury and Peter Hatzoglou.
Weather Conditions
It will be clear and sunny in Brisbane on the match day with a high of 35 degrees Celsius. Though there will be rain on the days before the match, we expect clear skies on the match day and a complete and uninterrupted game.
BH vs HBH Pitch Report
The pitch is known for its pace and bounce and will help the pacers. TheΒ average 1st innings score in the last 10 T20s here is 161 runs. And since the highest successful run chase here was 175 runs, we believe a match-winning total should be something over 180-185 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams bowling first have won all the 4 matches played here so far this season. Hurricanes have been successful while chasing a target in their recent matches while Heat also won their last home game while batting second. Both teams will be looking to bowl first in this match.
