Sydney Thunder (THU) begin their Big Bash League 2023 campaign against table toppers Brisbane Heat (HEA). Unlike their more successful compatriots from Sydney, the Thunder side has just won BBL once.
Brisbane Heat on the other hand began the season in fine style with a 103-run win over Melbourne Stars. Their next game was washed out against the Adelaide Strikers without a ball being bowled.

The pitch at Manuka Oval in Canberra has been slow and low as witnessed during the recent Pakistan warm-up game. One can expect spinners to come into play once the ball gets old. Runs will be on offer when the ball is hard and new, the shorter boundaries could make this an exciting contest.
