Big Bash League 2025-26 heats up with a blockbuster showdown at The Gabba, Brisbane, as the table-topping Brisbane Heat take on a resurgent Sydney Thunder in Match 29. This fixture pits Heat’s batting firepower against Thunder’s spin-heavy attack. With playoff spots on the line, expect a high-octane T20 thriller under Brisbane’s summer sun.

Brisbane Heat enjoy a narrow historical advantage over Sydney Thunder, having won eight of their 15 meetings, with Thunder claiming six and one match ending without a result.

Gabba Pitch Report

The Gabba’s pitch for Match 29 in BBL 2025-26 promises a high-scoring spectacle. These drop-in surfaces offer true bounce and lightning-quick outfield, with short straight boundaries (65-70m) favouring aggressive batters—first innings averages hit 178 this season, including Heat’s 214/4 high. Early seam movement aids pacers, but it flattens out for spin in the middle overs. Minimal dew in the 3:00 PM local start keeps bowlers in play. Expect 350+ runs total; teams batting first hold a 60% win rate.

Squads:

Brisbane Heat: Colin Munro, Jack Wildermuth, Matt Renshaw, Hugh Weibgen, Tom Alsop, Max Bryant, Jimmy Peirson (wk), Xavier Bartlett (c), Shaheen Afridi, Liam Haskett, Matthew Kuhnemann, Thomas Balkin, Lachlan Hearne, Ollie Patterson

Sydney Thunder: David Warner (c), Sam Billings, Lockie Ferguson, Daniel Sams, Chris Green, Cameron Bancroft, Wes Agar, Ollie Davies, Shadab Khan, Matthew Gilkes, Tanveer Sangha, Ryan Hadley, Sam Konstas, Nathan McAndrew, Tom Andrews, Ravichandran Ashwin, Blake Nikitaras
