Sixers, who have won four out of their last five matches against Heat, had emerged as the winner in their last contest played at the same venue as well. Much like the first match of the day between Melbourne Renegades and Perth Scorchers, the visiting team will start as the favourites due to past head-to-head domination in an outright manner for the second time in a day.
As far as the iconic Gabba is concerned, hosts Heat have won 20 and lost 31 out of their 52 home matches over the years. Sixers, on the other hand, have won seven and lost one out of their eight Brisbane T20s till date.
