HEA vs THU, 19th Match Preview

Match 19 of the 2022-23 Big Bash League sees Brisbane Heat go head to head with Sydney Thunder at the Metricon Stadium, Gold Coast on Thursday evening. The two sides met in Match 17 with Sydney Thunder winning a one-sided game by 10 wickets with 50 balls remaining. Brisbane Heat hit only one six in their innings against Sydney Thunder and there is a real lack of self-belief in the squad. It would be a big shock if they could turn their form around to win this match. Sydney Thunder were way too strong for Brisbane Heat on Tuesday and they will be full of confidence as the two teams go head to head so soon again.
