Colin Munro, the New Zealand cricketer, kicked off BBL|13 impressively, notching an explosive unbeaten 99 versus the Stars. Following a stumble in Adelaide, Munro has stepped up to lead the Heat in the absence of Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne, engaged in the Test against Pakistan. Expected to partner with the power-hitter Josh Brown, who eyes his first game this season after an impactful previous campaign, Munro's leadership and Brown's prowess promise an exciting pairing at the top.

Probable Best Bowler: Mitchell Swepson

Mitchell Swepson showcased brilliance against the Sydney Thunder, delivering an economical spell, conceding only 26 runs in four overs while claiming two wickets. His pivotal dismissals of Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams provided crucial breakthroughs. Eager to replicate this performance, Swepson will aim to maintain his form in the upcoming match against the Brisbane Heat, aspiring to provide similar vital breakthroughs for his team.
