Pitch Report

The surface at the Sydney Showground Stadium has assisted the fast bowlers more often than not and batters have had a tough time adjusting to the pace of the wicket. In the last four games played at the venue, teams batting first have won only once. Thus, the side winning the toss in the Eliminator might be inclined towards chasing.

Probable Best Performers for THU vs HEA

Probable Best Batter: Oliver Davies

Oliver Davies has been quite phenomenal in the ongoing edition of the Big Bash League. Slotting in at the middle-order, the 22-year-old has provided the impetus to innings and helped change the momentum of the game in the favour of his side. He has amassed 333 runs in 14 games at a strike rate of 133.73. Davies would look to set the stage on fire with his batting exploits in the coming game.

Probable Best Bowler: Michael Neser

Michael Neser has been the wrecker-in-chief for Brisbane Heat in the T20 extravaganza, bagging 22 wickets in 13 matches at an economy of 8.60. The ace pacer would look to carry on the good work and weave his magic with the ball against Thunder.
