Hello and Welcome to our preview for Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat match. We are covering SDS vs BRH Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the Big Bash League 2018-19 match. The match is to be played at Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney.

Sydney Sixers have won four and lost five encounters yet in the season. They lost their last match to Melbourne Renegades by 7 wickets. Batting first, They collapsed on 115 runs with Tom Curran being the top performer for his 44-run knock. Steve O’Keefe was impressive with the ball taking two scalps but could not defend the low total for his team. They will hope to make a strong comeback and improve their standing in the points table.

Brisbane Heat is behind Sydney Sixers in the points table with three wins and four losses. Their last match against Sydney Thunder was abandoned due to floodlight failure. However, Sydney Thunder gave a target of 187 to Heat and also eliminated Bash brothers McCullum and Lynn early in the defence leading to a difficult situation for Heat but was saved by the floodlight failure. They will hope for a unison effort from players in upcoming matches.
