Pre-Match Analysis:

Sydney Sixers will be without Steven Smith for this important clash who was superlative in the 2nd half of the tournament. They need to make this opportunity count as they lost to Perth Scorchers in the Qualifier by 7 wickets. A marginal score of 151 isn’t enough to win games against high-quality sides like Perth. Despite the loss, Sean Abbott shined with the ball, picking up 3 fer and he has been named in the Team of BBL 2022/23. They are eyeing their 4th consecutive final.

Brisbane Heat turned their game completely in the later stages of the tournament. They won against Sydney Thunder and Melbourne Renegades in the Eliminator and Knockout respectively to reach this point. They are now one step away from cementing their spot in the finals after 10 long years. Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Matt Renshaw, and Mitchell Swepson are on National duty hence won’t be available for the rest of the tournament. It’s a big opportunity for the other players to show their potential in the absence of their key players. Either Nathan McSweeney or Max Bryant will open alongside Josh Brown. They have a 1-3 win-loss record in their last 4 meetings.
