Match preview
Brisbane Heat Women face Sydney Sixers Women in the 26th match of WBBL 2025 at Adelaide Oval. The two sides are in very different places, with the Sixers fifth in the table and the Heat at the bottom.
The Sixers are former champions who narrowly missed the playoffs last season, finishing sixth. They opened with a dominant win over Perth Scorchers and lost to Hobart Hurricanes, then beat Sydney Thunder and the Hurricanes but fell to Melbourne Stars. Three wins and two losses gives them six points, although their net run rate is among the weakest in the league.
The Heat are two-time champions and finished as runners-up last season, but this campaign has been difficult. They have lost to Melbourne Renegades, Perth Scorchers, Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Thunder, leaving them with zero points and the lowest net run rate, with a match against Adelaide Strikers still to come.
With a true pitch and a fast outfield, an early score is attractive. The Heat’s top order can post a total if their power-hitters fire, while the Sixers, known for chasing, can accelerate through the middle overs.
Adelaide Oval is generally a batter-friendly venue, with true bounce, consistent pace and a fast outfield that rewards timing. Seamers may find movement with the new ball, after which the surface tends to flatten. Spinners can find occasional turn or grip in the middle and later overs.
At 3:10 pm local time on 28 November, Adelaide is forecast to be sunny and pleasant at about 22–24°C, with a light to moderate breeze and little chance of rain.
