Tip 1: Most Sixes – Brisbane Heat

The Heat have hit 49 sixes this season while the Sixers have managed only 40 sixes. Out of the 49 sixes, 20 sixes have come in the last three matches for the Heat. The inclusion of Chris Lynn is going to be an added advantage, as the Heat captain has cleared the rope 12 times this season.

With the top order back in form, the Heat are expected to hit a lot of sixes. The Heat have hit more sixes than the Sixers in all the last five head to head matches.
