The 54^th fixture of the Big Bash League 2021-22 sees Brisbane Heat take on Sydney Sixers on Jan 19 (Wednesday) at Brisbane Cricket Ground, Woolloongabba. The match is to begin at 7:35 am IST.

Teams Status

Sydney Sixers

This game has importance for both these sides but for completely different reasons. Sydney Sixers would want to win it to keep hold of their second spot, which would earn them a chance to earn straight entry into the final.

In the other corner are Brisbane Heat, who would want to avoid the bottom spot currently occupied by Melbourne Renegades and the dreaded wooden spoon that comes with it.

The Sixers were upset in the last game by Adelaide Strikers and would want to return to winning ways ahead of the playoffs.

They have got a timely boost as their ace spinner Nathan Lyon is free from his international commitments and has rejoined them. With Steve O’Keefe also back recently, the Sixers now have a mean spin attack to boast about.

Brisbane Heat

As explained above, Brisbane Heat are locked in a two-horse race with Melbourne Renegades to avoid the bottom spot.

It will be the Heat’s last game of the season, and with the Gades scheduled to play their own final game next, this will be the Heat’s final chance to add some points to their current tally of a measly 16.

They have lost five straight matches and are up against two-time defending champions so they’d probably have to play out of their skin to get something out of this game.

What Do the Sportsbooks Say?

Brand	Brisbane Heat	Sydney Sixers
	2.42	1.52
	2.685	1.492
	2.50	1.54

Sydney are big favourites for this Big Bash League fixture. Parimatch has Sydney priced at 1.52 and Brisbane at 2.42. Paripesa has Sydney available for 1.492 and Brisbane for 2.685. Lastly, Sportsbet has Sydney priced at 1.54 and Brisbane at 2.50.

Tipster’s Angle

Tip: Sydney to win @ 1.54

This is again a very easy bet. Granted that Sydney lost their last game but Brisbane have lost their last five. This is a mismatch in the truest sense of this term. Pound away Sydney on this one. The odds have been sourced from Sportsbet.

Tip: Josh Philippe to score over 25.5 runs @ 1.87

For some odd reason, Josh Philippe has failed in each of his last two outings against Brisbane. But some trends are just random and there is no need to read too much into it or find meaning. Philippe is a brilliant player and now that he has had a few failures against Brisbane, he’d be raring more than ever to find some runs against them. The odds have been sourced from Parimatch.

Conclusion

As already said above, this is a mismatch. Sydney Sixers should take this barring a massive upset.
