Pitch Report

A relatively high-scoring game is on the cards in Canberra with some help on offer for both the batters and bowlers. The pacers should get the new ball to swing a bit, keeping the batters on their toes. However, the ball should skid onto the bat a touch better under the lights. There is some turn for the spinners, who will look to use the dimensions of the ground to their advantage as well. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160-170 being a good total at the venue

Today’s THU vs HEA Dream11 match top picks

Wicketkeeper

Ben Duckett: Ben Duckett is all set for his Brisbane Heat debut and is likely to slot into a top-order role. The southpaw is one of the most explosive batters in the world, capable of taking on both pace and spin. With the Thunder likely to deploy spin in the middle overs, Duckett will be key for the Heat.

Batter

Alex Hales: Alex Hales comes into the tournament on the back of a heap of expectations. The Englishman was the highest runscorer last season and will be keen to replicate the same form this time around, making him a must-have in your THU vs HEA Dream11 fantasy team.

All-rounder

Daniel Sams: Daniel Sams is a vital cog in the Thunder set-up with his all-round ability bound to play a bigger role this season. Although the all-rounder will be key with his death bowling skills, his pinch-hitting ability is surely one to keep tabs on ahead of this exciting clash.

Bowler

Mujeeb ur Rehman: Mujeeb ur Rehman is back with the Heat for yet another BBL stint and why not. He has been one of the Heat's most successful bowlers in recent history with his ability to turn the ball both ways being crucial. Rehman should make for a good addition to your THU vs HEA Dream11 fantasy team.
