The Heats will be looking to take revenge when both the team will be up against each other for the second time in the tournament on 13th January at Geelong Cricket Ground, Geelong.
Brisbane Heats currently stands on 7th position with 2 wins in the 6 matches they played. Heats have been inconsistent in the tournament so far and will be looking to change as the second half of BBL08 starts from this match. Brenden McCullum is back in form with two back to back 50 and will be looking to continue the same. Lynn and Bryant are scoring consistently but not able to win match single-handedly for the team. The bowling line up looks strong but the absence of Pattinson will affect the team as he is injured and ruled out of this match. Rahman and Swepson have to put their sleeves up in this match.
Jack Prestwidge and Marnus Labuschange replaces Jimmy Pattinson and Joe Burns in 13 men squad.
Players to watch out for: Brenden McCullum, Chris Lynn and Jack Prestwidge.
