The Brisbane Heat have not had the best of starts to the season, losing both of their games so far. Although the likes of Jimmy Peirson and Michael Neser have impressed, the Heat have not clicked as a unit and will be keen on an improved performance.

The Strikers, meanwhile, are flying high with three wins in as many games with their bowling trio of Wes Agar, Rashid Khan, and Henry Thornton delivering the goods consistently. Although the Strikers will start as the favorites, the Heat will bank on home conditions as they seek their first win of the season.
