BBL 2020: HEA vs THU preview 

Having lost their first match of the Big Bash League 2020-21 to the now struggling Melbourne Stars side, Sydney Thunder have bulldozed past each of their competitors in their five other games. Currently in second place on the table, a win in this game could take the side back to the top spot - and another four points closer to what could be their second BBL title. Thunder will be depending on captain Callum Ferguson, Alex Hales and Tanveer Sangha who are among the top players of the tournament, as they try to extend their winning streak to a brilliant six games. 

Brisbane Heat, on the other hand, will be looking to consolidate the little string of victories that they have started to amass. Following a terrible start to their Big Bash League 2020-21 campaign that saw them lose all three of their opening games, the Heat side won their first game against the Hobart Hurricanes and followed it up with a win over the Sydney Sixers - with a loss to the Hurricanes in the middle. In 7th place as of now, the side will hope to earn those precious four points today and get things moving.
