• Big Bash: Sydney Sixers v Brisbane Heat
  • When: Jan 10 0815 GMT
  • Where: Carrara
  • TV: BT Sport

Sydney Sixers still sit second in the Big Bash league table despite losing two of their last three matches, and the defending champions are expected to be bang there at the business end of the tournament once again.

The Sixers probably haven't played their best cricket so far this season, but they are generally very good at finding a way, with their batting boasting quality at the top of the order and power lower down through the likes of Dan Christian and Jordan Slik.

The bowling has plenty of options, too, with Christian proving priceless in the Power Surge, Jackson Bird typically reliable with the new ball, and quality spin in their ranks when needed.

I still think they'll go very close to winning the tournament again, but they must arrest a couple of recent reverses and Sunday's opponents, Brisbane Heat, come into this clash following three straight victories.

The Heat started the season with a sting of naive performances, but the return to full fitness of Chris Lynn and signing of Joe Denly has given the batting a much stronger look to it.
