The first match of the round 4 of
Big Bash League will take place between Brisbane Heat and Sydney Sixers on 2nd January, 2014 at the Gabba. The KFC T20 Big Bash League has a huge fan following owing to the power packed and entertaining cricket matches offered by Australian and overseas players in the previous two seasons. The third season’s fixtures have been released and there is a lot of anticipation surrounding the matches.
Last year’s champions, the Brisbane Heat will take on Sydney Sixers to climb up the score ladder at their home ground, the Gabba. The match will start at precisely 6:40 PM as per the standard local time. The Brisbane Heat squad has some of Australia’s finest players, which include the squad’s captain James Hopes. Luke Pomersbach, Peter Forrest and Joe Burns are some of the young players that played aggressive innings in the last season to put fast bowlers like Chris Gayle to shame. In addition, the team also has an impressive batting line up with Nick Buchanan, Shane Watson and overseas player Daniel Vettori. However, they will face an equally strong opponent, the vibrant yet fierce Sydney Sixers. The men in Magenta Kit have previously won the first season of Big Bash League and went on to emerge as winners of the Champions League T20 tournament as well. Sydney Sixers has talented and experienced players like Brett Lee and Michael Lumb as well as young bowlers like Chris Tremlett and Trent Copeland.
