THU vs HEA Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for Knockout BBL T20 Sydney Thunder vs Brisbane Heat, 31 January

THU vs HEA Dream11: As the BBL 10 is approaching its end, the big knockout is ready to be played between Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat. Sydney Thunder are a well balanced side and were one of the favorites to qualify for finals. They have some quality batsmen with Alex Hales having an outstanding season so far and skipper Ferguson complementing him well. The return of Daniel Sams gives the side even more balance and makes them a threatening side. The onus will also be on Tanveer Sangha to replicate his heroics in a big game.

Brisbane Heat, though are coming off a win in the eliminator and will be looking to continue the momentum. Skipper Lynn and Labuschagne are two pillars of the batting. Denly and Peirson’s innings under pressure in the last game was a good sign for the side. With options like Steketee, Morkel and Swepson, the Heat possess a threatening bowling attack.
