The annual Coffs Harbour Big Bash trip sees the 2-3 Sydney Sixers host the 3-3 Brisbane Heat in a crucial match-up for both teams’ finals hopes.
Head to Head
The Sixers are the play at their adopted home.
The Heat have been dreadful on the road, losing six straight matches outside of Queensland. Their bowling has been repeatedly exposed, conceding four of the 12 largest totals this season, all above 190, in just six games.
The Sixers may sit at 2-3, but their season has been shaped by poor luck at the toss. They have lost four of five coin flips and been forced to bat first in four matches. Across the competition, the chasing team has now won 16 of 23 games, suggesting Sydney are due a swing in fortune.
Sydney have traditionally dominated this match-up, winning 15 of the past 22 meetings, although Brisbane have taken four of the last six.
Both sides are expected to line up similarly to their most recent outings, with Kane Richardson the only potential inclusion for the Sixers.
As always, waiting for the toss is sensible, but the Sixers look the right side here, particularly if they get the chance to chase.
Best Bet
Philippe has an excellent record at Coffs Harbour, scoring 157 runs from four innings at an average of 52, including one not out. He has also cleared 25 runs in three of his five knocks this season and shapes as a strong play again here.
Value Bet
Dwarshuis has enjoyed bowling against Brisbane, taking 10 wickets across his last three matches against the Heat. He has also claimed 2+ wickets in two of his three appearances at Coffs, making this a lively price.
