Match 7 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 features the Sydney Thunder taking on Brisbane Heat at the Manuka Oval on Monday.
Both Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat lost their respective BBL openers to the Melbourne Stars earlier in the competition. While Thunder came close to toppling the Stars on Sunday, Heat were thoroughly outplayed by Glenn Maxwell and co at the Manuka Oval.
With a depleted bowling attack, Heat struggled in the middle overs, which could be a cause for concern once again against Callum Ferguson and Alex Ross.
Sydney Thunder are the clear favourites for this BBL game, given the superior balance in their squad. However, Brisbane Heat will be no pushovers, as they have a power-packed batting unit comprising of the likes of Chris Lynn and Max Bryant.
With both teams looking to get off the mark in the competition, we should be in for a cracking BBL game on Monday.

Pitch Report
A good batting pitch is likely to be on offer for this BBL game, but there could be some help for the spinners as well.
Run-scoring might be best during the first ten overs against the hard new ball, as the pitch tends to slow down as the match progresses. The pacers will need to vary their pace to keep the batsmen on their toes.
Both teams could look to bat first, and 160 runs is likely to be a par-score at this venue.
