Teams Analysis Before the Final Match of BBL Final 2024

Let's quickly review the preparation of both teams before their much-awaited BBL Final contest.

Sydney Sixers:

Sydney Sixers, on the other hand, performed wonderfully in the KFC Big Bash League 2023-24. Their captain Moises Henriques proved to be a Commanding leader and performed with bat and ball. Daniel Hughes and Josh Philippe also performed in the last match against the Heat.

The middle order looks solid with Captain himself and Jordan Silk being consistent performers for Sydney's success in the ongoing BBL season.

Ahead of the BBL Final, the bowling unit of the Sixers is their major strength as Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshius, Todd Murphy, and Steve O'Keefe have been in their prime performance and form and that's why, the Sixers have set up a great preparation for the upcoming BBL Final on January 24, 2024.

Brisbane Heat:

Brisbane Heat has been a formidable team in the KFC Big Bash League 2023-24 who has performed exceptionally well from match 1 and lost only 2 games in the season. Their bowling has been a highlight for them as Xavier Bartlett, Paul Walter, Spenser Johnson, and Matthew Kuhnemann were all in amazing touch this season and picked up key wickets.

Talking about the batting strength, Josh Brown just lit up the Challenger match against the Strikers smacking 140* of just 57 balls with 12 sixes. He single-handedly put the team in the BBL final of Big Bash League season 13. Besides this, Nathan McSweeny, and Matt Renshaw will be key players to perform with the bat for the ultimate championship final.
