The Brisbane Heat (HEA) are all set to turn their fortunes against the Sydney Thunder (THU) in the 25th game of the Big Bash League 2024-25, slated to take place on January 6 at the Gabba in Brisbane. The THU side is currently in the second spot with four wins and one defeat. The sides need to win this game to maintain their dominating momentum heading to the next game. The win in this game with a superior net run rate can make them lead the charts.

On the other hand, the Heat have showcased their horrendous form in the ongoing tournament, placing at the fifth spot with just two wins and three defeats to their name. They will be aiming to register the victory in this game to stay alive in the competition and to ascend in their rankings.

The Sydney Thunder head to this game after thwarting the Perth Scorchers by four wickets in their last outing. On the other hand, the Heat's last game against the Sydney Sixers was abandoned due to frustrating wet weather dramas in the game.
