The 29th match in the 2025-26 Big Bash League is a match-up between the Brisbane Heat and the Sydney Thunder on January 10, 2026 at the Gabba in Brisbane. The two teams have already played each other once before, with the Thunder winning that match, which was their only win so far this season. This is an important match for both teams as they are heading into a critical part of the tournament.

Brisbane has had a somewhat inconsistent season thus far, recording three victories and four losses through its first seven matches, and Nathan McSweeney leads the team. They still have a chance to qualify for the playoffs, so they need to perform well in order to solidify their playoff chances. On the flip side, the Thunder have been having an extremely rough season, winning only one game while sitting at the bottom of the table with a poor net run rate. Because they have been eliminated from playoff contention, David Warner's team is looking to finish the season on a positive note.
