Topmost Picks for THU vs HEA Dream11 Prediction, 17th Match:

• Mark Steketee – The 28-year-old fast-medium bowler has taken seven wickets from three games so far in BBL 2022 and returned his best-ever figure in the tournament in the win over Adelaide Strikers.

Top Picks – Sydney Thunder

• Alex Hales – The tall opening batter hit his first half-century of the competition in the last game and hit nine boundaries in that innings.  

• Gurinder Sandhu – The 29 year old right-arm fast medium bowler is yet to go wicketless in the 2022-23 BBL. He has picked up 68 dismissals from 65 BBL games.

THU vs HEA 17th Match Probable winners:

Brisbane Heat had Sam Billings to thank for getting their season up and running. They will need another big score from their top order or we expect Sydney Thudner to get an easy win. At the time of writing, Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat are two of four teams at the bottom of the table with two points on the board so far. In fact, due to their 15 all out at this ground, it is Thunder who have the worst Net-Run-Rate in the competition and are in eighth place. We are predicting a close contest with Sydney Thunder getting the victory. Considering the team combination, Sydney Thunder is expected to win this match.
