The Thunder are coming into Monday’s match at the Gabba after chasing down a 177-run total in Perth, while missing Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams who were involved in a collision on the field and could miss the rest of the season.

The inspiring win places more weight on the Thunder’s title hopes, especially considering the form of captain David Warner who has averaged 67.5 runs in his past two matches.

Expect another strong performance from the Thunder batsmen as the bowling attack of Sydney also does enough to unsettle the out of form Heat batsmen, who have been unable to set a total over 150 at The Gabba in their past two matches.

Brisbane have lost their past 2 matches at The Gabba.
The Thunder are averaging a total of 175 runs when batting first (4 matches)
Brisbane averages 143.5 runs in the past two games while batting first at The Gabba.
David Warner has scored 86* and 49 in his past two matches.

Brisbane Heat Form

Brisbane’s match against Sydney in Coffs Harbour was the first game of BBL14 to be rained out without a ball being played.

Brisbane come into the match against the Thunder desperate for a win and need to focus on increasing their net run rate of -0.727 after losing three matches in a row and now having an abandoned match with a record of 2-3-1

Due to Brisbane’s poor batting form, their matches are averaging a low total of 311 runs and have not scored over 150 runs in their past 3 matches, losing all three. Despite not claiming a wicket in his last match, Ben Dwarshuis still leads the BBL with 10 wickets.

After Cameron Bancroft and Daniel Sams collided in the field and both suffered concussion in the 16th over of the first innings of the match, the Thunder rallied together after needing to chase down a hefty total of 177 runs.

David Warner led the chase with 49 runs, following his 86* not out against the Renegades, putting together an 89-run partnership with Matthew Gilkes who scored 43 runs from 36 balls, but all the heroics were left for Rutherford.
