Topmost Picks for SIX vs HEA Dream11 Prediction, Challenger:

Top Picks – Brisbane Heat

• Michael Neser – The pace bowling all-rounder picked up two more wickets against Melbourne Renegades in the Knockout. He dismissed Aaron Finch and Will Sutherland.

• Jimmy Peirson – Batting in the middle order and ready to take on the captaincy again, Peirson has scored over 300 runs in BBL12 and has been a fine wicket keeper.

Top Picks – Sydney Sixers

• Sean Abbott – The bowling all-rounder is the leading wicket taker across the tournament. He has a strike rate of every 10.8 balls from 50.4 overs bowled.

• Moises Henriques – The skipper’s third half-century of the tournament took his run tally to over 300. Without Steve Smith’s runs, Henriques becomes even more important to the batting line-up.

SIX vs HEA Challenger Probable winners:

Both teams are not at full strength with the Australia Test team off to India. Brisbane Heat have lost three of their best batters whereas Sydney Sixers have lost only one of theirs. It is the Sixers who look the strongest. With the prize of a BBL final against Perth Scorchers up for grabs, we are expecting a very entertaining Challenger fixture at the SCG. Brisbane Heat look far weaker without their three Test batters but Steve Smith is arguably a bigger loss for Sydney Sixers. However, the Sixers have Sean Abbott who is a fantastic BBL bowler and we expect him to make the difference. Considering the team combination, Sydney Sixers is expected to win this match.
