THU vs HEA Dream11 Prediction: Welcome to the 2nd match of the Big Bash League T20, 2021 where Sydney Thunder takes on Brisbane Heat. With BBL 10 Golden Bat winner Alex Hales returning, the Thunder are set for another strong push at the title in 2021-22. English teammate Sam Billings is also again on the Thunder’s list, and countryman Saqib Mahmood will join the squad as the ideal replacement for Kiwi fast bowler Adam Milne. While Usman Khawaja’s inclusion in the Test squad has seen Chris Green take over the captaincy until Khawaja returns. The Heat made a late run for the title in BBL 10, being knocked out by runners up the Perth Scorchers in the penultimate game of the season. Those late-season matches showed just how big the potential is for a perennially inconsistent Brisbane side, who have the makings of a title-winning team when everything clicks.

Ground: Manuka Oval, Canberra
The Pitch at the Manuka Oval, Canberra, has favored the batters as far as the history of the pitch is concerned. It is a good batting surface where scoring runs becomes easier as the game progresses. Batters tend to have an upper hand over the bowlers most of the time. 160-170 run scores were par scores in this pitch in the last BBL season and the same should be expected this time around as well.
