Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes: Toble-toppers Hurricanes look to destroy Heat

The Big Bash League (BBL) is heating up as Brisbane Heat prepare to face the table-topping Hobart Hurricanes in Match 36, scheduled to be held on Thursday at The Gabba, Brisbane. The game is set to be an enthralling contest between two teams with contrasting campaigns so far. While the Hurricanes sit comfortably at the summit of the points table, the Heat are battling to cement their playoff spot. Ahead of the game, Hurricanes have suffered a massive jolt with pacer Billy Stanlake being unavailable for the remainder of BBL|14 after fracturing his right scapula.

Hobart Hurricanes have been the standout team of this season, performing brilliantly to remain seated on top in points table. Their batters and bowlers have fired on all cylinders in their past encounters.  With six wins in their last eight matches, the Hurricanes are not just topping the table but also establishing themselves as the team to beat this season.

The Brisbane Heat, on the other hand, have had a mixed season. Currently sitting fifth on the points table, they’ve performed well but lacked consistency. Their recent performances have kept them in the playoff hunt, but they need to capitalize on their home advantage to climb further up the ladder.

Hobart Hurricanes probable XI: Mitchell Owen, Matthew Wade (wk), Charlie Wakim, Nikhil Chaudhary, Caleb Jewell, Tim David, Jake Doran, Nathan Ellis (c), Peter Hatzoglou, Riley Meredith, Chris Jordan 

Brisbane Heat probable XI: Jack Wood, Colin Munro (c), Nathan McSweeney, Matt Renshaw, Max Bryant, Tom Alsop (wk), Michael Neser, Xavier Bartlett, Mitchell Swepson, Matthew Kuhnemann, Spencer Johnson
