BBL Playoffs: Sydney Sixers vs. Brisbane Heat Predictions
—
Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat @ SCG
The Sydney Sixers got to the semi-final with a win over the Hobart Hurricanes before losing to the Perth Scorchers in the Grand Final qualifier.
They scored just 151/8 and were soundly beaten by a better team, but bookmakers expect them to rebound against the Brisbane Heat, who have looked more impressive during the playoffs after posting a win last Sunday against the Renegades.
Brisbane chased down 163 runs having just lost three wickets, so they were impressive and getting a taste of finals action is potentially what the Heat needed to get their Big Bash record back on track.
Our concern with the Heat is their overall record compared to the Sixers, who won 10 of their 14 games compared to six wins for the Heat. There’s no doubt the Sixers were the better team throughout the regular season, but the nature of Twenty/20 cricket is fickle.
Taking $1.51 for the Sixers isn’t easy. Therefore, we’re happy to lock in the $2.58 available for the Heat. The odds are too good to pass up for the Big Bash semi-final.
Betting tip: Brisbane Heat @ $2.58

Sydney Sixers vs Brisbane Heat Exotic Tips
There is plenty of money to be made betting top runs scorer markets and we have made our picks for each team.
Leading the Sixers could be Moises Henriques, who has a knack of playing well in the big games. He will require his openers to struggle, but he should come in at the right time and steer the ship for the Sixers.
If that happens, there is excellent value with his $4.60 odds. He is being respected with bookmakers and he’s the captain, so there are high expectations from the outset. Josh Philippe and Kurtis Patterson have also been well-backed, but our money is with Henriques.
The Heat have a deep batting lineup, including Josh Brown, who headlines the top runs scorer market. Despite losing Usman Khawaja, we believe Brown is capable of leading the charge from the outset as an opener.
Brown scored 39 runs when beating the Renegades and he showed his power scoring when knocking 63 runs from 23 balls against the Sydney Sixers in January.
Having form against this bowling attack is ideal and the $4.60 favourite is well worth including in selections.
If you’re looking for a bit more value, take the Heat to win with Brown top scoring for the Heat at $8.75. It’s a risky bet, but it adds to the excitement of the semi-final.
Player of the Match honours are also up for grabs and the market is headlined by Sean Abbott. We’re happy to double down on Brown to win the award at $13. It’s a fair price and he could have the biggest impact.
Betting tip: Josh Brown to score the most runs @ $4.60
