Brisbane Heat will lock horns with the Sydney Sixers in their final match of the ongoing Big Bash League 2021-22 at the Gabba in Brisbane on Wednesday, January 19. Australia’s Ashes Test victor Marnus Labuschagne has been included in the Heat’s squad for this game after he contacted Queensland Cricket and expressed his eagerness to play for the side.
Similarly, Nathan Lyon has also been included in the Sixers’ squad for this game. Brisbane Heat lost their last game against the Perth Scorchers and are no longer in the race for the playoffs. Hence, they will be playing to salvage their pride against the Sixers.
Meanwhile, the Sixers are placed at the second spot on the points tally with eight wins in 13 games and will look to win the game against the Heat as it will hold them in good contention. They are coming into this game on the back of an eight-wicket loss which they suffered at the hands of the Adelaide Strikers.
