THU vs HEA Pitch Report

This is the surface that saw Sydney Thunder getting bowled out for a mere 15 runs. But remember, earlier that day, 139 runs were posted by another team on the same pitch. So it’s unfair to call the surface, the graveyard of batters. There is a chance, due to the criticism, the management offers a flat surface as a pitch.

THU Playing 11

Thunder have signed Joel Davies for the clash and he could be in the playing XI. Also, the management has hinted that Usman Qadir could be a part of the playing XI as well.
Alex Hales and Matthew Gilkes could open the innings with Rilee Rossouw manning the middle order. Thunder could even replace Gilkes with Davies.
Daniel Sams will be the key bowler in this contest. Expect Usman Qadir to handle spin duties.

WHO WILL WIN THU vs HEA TODAY MATCH?

After the disastrous 15 all out, the Thunder have picked themselves up. But they are still unable to find the winning combination. They have faced 3 straight losses and that lack of momentum could be key here. They have won 1 game and have lost 3 in BBL 2022 so far.
The Heat lost 2 games but won their last match. So they will be pumped.
In the last 5 head-to-head battles, Thunder have won 3 while Heat have won 2 games.
So expect the Heat to win this game too as they are having the momentum.
