the Big Bash League (BBL)|14 continues to deliver thrilling action as Brisbane Heat (HEA) prepare the face Hobart Hurricanes (HUR) in Match 36 at the Brisbane Cricket Ground on Thursday.
The Heat have struggled to find consistency this season, with four losses from eight games, including one scoreless. Currently placed fifth in the standings with six points, the Heat are desperate to get a win to keep their playoff hopes alive.
In contrast, the Hurricanes were dominant throughout the season. They sit comfortably at the top of the table with six wins, one loss and one draw in their eight matches. Their incredible form makes them the team to beat in this edition of the tournament.
The Brisbane pitch usually provides good seam movement and extra bounce for new-ball bowlers. However, once the batters settle in the crease, they should find it favorable for stroke play. Spinners will be less mobile on this surface and will need to focus on accuracy, which will encourage batters to hit against the spin towards bigger boundaries.
The captain who wins the toss chooses to bowl first in this area.
Choice 1: Mitchell Owen (c), Max Bryant (vc)
Choice 2: Tim David (c), Nathan McSweeney (vc)
Chris Jordan, Nathan Ellis, Matthew Kuhnemann, Tom Alsop
Hurricanes in Hobart: Mitchell Owen, Matthew Wade (wk), Charlie Wakim, Nikhil Chaudhary, Tim David, Caleb Jewell, Chris Jordan, Nathan Ellis (c), Riley Meredith, Billy Stanlake, Marcus Bean, Patrick Dooley, Peter Hatzoglou, Jake Doran
Heat in Brisbane: Jack Wood, Colin Munro (c), Nathan McSweeney, Matt Renshaw, Max Bryant, Tom Alsop (wk), Michael Neser, Matthew Kuhnemann, Spencer Johnson, Xavier Bartlett, Mitchell Swepson, Daniel Drew, Will Prestwidge
