Key Points:
- Alex Hales and Usman Khawaja give Sydney Thunder a slight edge in the batting department
- Brisbane Heat has a strong batting lineup as well but it is too dependent on Chris Lynn
- We like the bowling attack of Sydney Thunder a lot better than Brisbane Heat’s
Team Analysis:
Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat will be starting their BBL 2021-22 campaign against each other at the Manuka Oval. Neither side is being viewed as one of the favorites to win the Big Bash League title but those perceptions can change quite quickly.
The cricket betting sites have given very similar odds to both teams ahead of this match.
Match Details:
Date: December 06, 2021
Time: 01:45 PM (IST)
Venue: Manuka Oval, Canberra, Australia
Live Streaming: Sony LIV App
TV: Sony Sports Network
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The conditions in Canberra are expected to be a bit wet and we could have some interruptions. The pitch at the Manuka Oval is bouncy with a decent amount of pace in it. The big playing surface also tends to favor the spinners. We think a score of somewhere around 160 should be seen as par.
Team Preview:
Sydney Thunder (SYT):
We think Sydney Thunder could be one of the dark horses for the BBL title this season. It has a pretty strong squad with some exceptional T20 players in it. Alex Hales, Usman Khawaja, Sam Billings, Jason Sangha, and Ben Cutting should be able to provide the runs needed in most matches.
We rate Alex Hales very highly and it is a crime that he is not more consistently picked in the England team at the moment. Look for betting markets that feature Alex Hales and back him to score runs.
Chris Tremain, Jonathan Cook, Tanveer Sangha, and Daniel Sams should all find a place in the playing eleven as well. Sams is a brilliant T20 bowler with a lack of picking up wickets and he is our recommendation for the Top Bowler Sydney Thunder betting market.
Likely XI: Alex Hales, Oliver Davies, Sam Billings (wk), Alex Ross, Daniel Sams, Ben Cutting, Chris Green, Brendan Doggett, Tanveer Sangha, Saqib Mahmood, Arjun Nair

Brisbane Heat (BRH):
Brisbane Heat may enjoy the bouncy conditions that they will encounter at the Manuka Oval. It may remind them of conditions at the Gabba somewhat. The big playing field should also play into the hands of their big-hitters. Chris Lynn is the obvious big name in this lineup but we think Tom Banton deserves a lot of attention as well.
If Lynn and Banton can get going then they can win the match in the first six overs itself.
Brisbane Heat, though, has suffered from consistency with the bat in the past and we think that is going to trouble them this time around as well. The bowling attack has two quality spinners in Mujeeb ur Rahman and Mitch Swepson, however, there is not much to follow after that.
Mujeeb ur Rahman is our pick to be the highest wicket-taker for Brisbane Heat in this match.
Likely XI: Chris Lynn (c), Ben Duckett, Joe Burns, Tom Abell, Sam Heazlett, Jimmy Peirson, Xavier Bartlett, Ben Laughlin, Jack Wildermuth, Mujeeb ur Rahman, Mark Steketee
