Pre-Match Analysis:

Sydney Thunder will get the home advantage for sure. They signed off their league campaign on a higher note with a win over Melbourne Stars by 3 wickets in a low-scoring affair. With 7 wins and as many losses they finished in the 4th spot in the standings with 14 points. They had seen ups and downs throughout this tournament and needed to make a statement in front of their home crowd on Friday. They had missed the services of Alex Hales in the 2nd half and David Warner who joined the squad lately hasn’t made any impact. Oliver Davies who is their top run-getter is out of touch, scoring only 10 runs in his last 3 outings. They need to overcome all the challenges and need to play hard.

Brisbane Heat had a mediocre 1st half of the tournament and later made a stunning comeback in the 2nd half to finish in the top 5 spots. They missed out on winning 5 matches in a row with a mere 2 runs loss against Hobart Hurricanes in their final league game on Wednesday. They have completely transformed as a side under the leadership of Usman Khawaja. Jimmy Peirson is their standout batter in this competition with more than 300 runs and overseas signing Sam Hain has made vital contributions lately with the bat. Michael Neser has been their go-to go bowler with 22 scalps. They lost both their matches against Thunder earlier in this competition and need to play better cricket this time.
