This is the start of the seventh and the last round of matches. It is a must-win for both teams and while a win will not guarantee a spot in the semi-finals, a loss will send the team out of the tournament. 

Brisbane (8/11 at SkyBet) had a poor start to the Big Bash League when they went down in their first four games. They have, however, recovered well since then and won two in a row. 

First they compiled 201 in their game against the then table-toppers, Hobart Hurricanes and edged the opponents out by three runs. Matthew Hayden’s (7/2 at SkyBet) 76 was the cornerstone of their success. They followed it up with a 12-run win, based on some late fireworks by Daniel Vettori with the bat and his stingy spell of 0/27 in four overs. 

Thunder (6/5 at Boylesports) have gone the other way. They made a brilliant start to the competition thanks to centuries from Chris Gayle and Dave Warner in each of their opening two games and won them both. Then began the rut. It’s now four games since that last win and Thunder are languishing at the seventh spot in the points table after one thought they would go through to the semi-final with consummate ease.

Captaincy and batting has been an issue. Daniel Smith (9/2 at Stan James) hasn’t been able to manage either with aplomb but the blame must be pinned on the selectors, who haven’t given the management too many T20 batting options to play with.

Gayle aside, not too many of the others have done too much with the bat and that has hurt the side no end. They will come into the game with scars from being bowled out for 99 on a perfectly placid Sydney track against Perth. And from Usman Khawaja and Ben Dunk having scored only 69 and 53 runs respectively in the tournament from the six games. 

This game will be epitomised by the Gayle versus Vettori clash but how the burly West Indian handles Allister McDermott and Michael Neser will be an interesting sub-plot of the main theme. 

The Brisbane Heat v Sydney Thunder Big Bash League match will begin at 8.30 am GMT on January 17.
