Preview

Match 7 of the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL) season will see the Sydney Thunder locking horns with the Brisbane Heat for the first time. Both the sides lost their opening game of the season and will be more than eager to get off the mark. The Thunder, led by Callum Ferguson, lost their first match to the Melbourne Stars as they failed to chase down 170 ending up only with 147 runs despite the captain’s half-century.

The Brisbane Heat, on the other hand, came up with a poor effort with the bat. They also lost to the Melbourne Stars itself scoring only 125 runs batting first. The bowlers didn’t have many to defend and the Chris Lynn-led side could only pick four wickets with only Jack Wood bowling well picking two wickets.

Tanveer Sangha impressed many on debut picking up two wickets. He will be expected to pick up wickets again.

Jack Wood was brilliant with the ball defending a low total. He scalped two wickets but those were not enough in helping his team win the game. Nevertheless, his form with the ball is definitely a positive for the Heat going into this match.

Chris Lynn is one of the best T20 batsmen. But he didn’t look in the groove in the previous game. Having said that, Lynn will be looking to make up for a poor show in the previous outing.
