Aus-T20 League

Match 36: HEA vs HUR

Preview

Brisbane Heat (HEA) are placed fifth in the table with three wins from eight matches. They desperately need a win to stay in contention for the playoffs. They’ve won two of their 4 games at the Gabba. 

In their most recent outing here, HEA successfully chased down 174 runs. The availability of senior pros Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne will also bolster the men in blue. After a dismal performance in the last game, the HEA skipper hopes his bowlers will bounce back strongly in this game. 

HUR have won 6 matches on the bounce after they suffered a loss in their opening fixture. They are in sublime form and pose a considerable threat to HEA’s playoff hopes.
