Heat vs Hurricanes

Overview

James Hopes’ Brisbane Heat meet Tim Paine’s Hobart Hurricanes in their first home game of this year’s KFC T20 Big Bash League at The Gabba.

Sore from a poor start and failure to reach the semi-finals last year, Brisbane hope to burn bright this year against last season semi-finalists, The Hobart Hurricanes.

Last time the two teams met Brisbane trumped Hobart by three runs at two-hundred-and-one for four against their one-hundred-and-ninety-eight for four in a real nail biter to the very last ball.

Brisbane’s poor track record last year puts Hobart in a favourable position for the match, but a talented team of hard hitters and an excellent squad of bowlers mean they might just scrape a win against the Hurricanes, a team known to create a win out of seemingly impossible odds.

But, of course, in Twenty-Twenty anything can happen, and there’s everything to play for. Tickets for this game will be available soon, keep an eye on Ticketmaster for details. Game on.
