The 17th match of the Big Bash League 2022-23 will see the Sydney Thunder locking horns with Brisbane Heat at the Sydney Showground Stadium in Sydney. Currently, both teams are languishing at the bottom half of the table. Brisbane Heat are on the sixth position with one win from three matches and have two points on their bag, while Sydney Thunder are in a spot of bother as they are right at the bottom of the table, with just two points from four matches, winning one and losing three matches. Usman Qadir, the Pakistan leg spin bowler who was brought in to fill in for the injured Tanveer Sangha, is set to make his Sydney Thunder debut against Brisbane Heat.

On the other hand, the Brisbane Heat recovered well from a poor start to the tournament after Melbourne Renegades handed them defeats in their first two matches. They came back to the winning track in their previous match, where they held their nerve to get over the line against the Adelaide Strikers by six runs. Spencer Johnson replaces James Bazley in the Heat squad, who will miss the game due to hamstring soreness. The rest of the squad is the same.

Both teams didn’t have the best starts to the tournament but the Sydney Thunder will hold the upper hand in today’s contest, they have a well-rounded unit and their XI looks settled but the Sydney Thunder are low on confidence in the tournament after having been bundled out for just 15 against the Strikers as well. Michael Neser and Matthew Kuhnemann are the players to watch out for in this encounter.
