Brisbane Heat Preview
Brisbane Heat is riding high after securing their Playoff spot in a heart-stopping one-run win over the Hurricanes. That win not only sealed the deal for the Playoffs but also guaranteed them a top-three finish. Now, with just two more league-stage matches against Perth Scorchers, they’re all set to keep the fire burning.
Brisbane Heat has been the team to watch this season, notching up six wins in eight matches. They’re practically unbeaten, with two games washed out.

The skipper, Colin Munro, has been the driving force with 222 runs in six innings.
The big question mark for Heat is the selection puzzle with Khawaja and Labuschagne back in contention. Munro’s on fire, but they’ll need others like Nathan McSweeney to chip in with the runs in the middle order.
When it comes to the bowling attack, Brisbane Heat has got reliable wicket-takers in Xavier Bartlett and Paul Walter. Bartlett’s got 13 wickets in 6 innings, and Walter has bagged 10 wickets in the same number of outings. The lineup for the upcoming clash looks solid, featuring Khawaja, Munro, Labuschagne, and the bowling duo.
