  • Tournament: Big Bash League 2022-23

The Australian T20I skipper Aaron Finch has been phenomenal in this season of the Big Bash League so far. He is currently the top run-getter for Melbourne Renegades while also occupying third place in the overall list. Finch has amassed a whopping 418 runs in 14 matches at a stunning average of 41.80. The batter was at his best in Renegades’ last league game against Adelaide Strikers as well. He hammered not out 63 runs off just 54 balls to help his team chase 143 runs within 18.2 overs. Moreover, Aaron Finch’s elaborated international experience makes him the best player to place your money on for the Sunday game. The 36-year-old veteran has 3120 international runs to his name in 103 T20I matches while playing for Australia.

Top Brisbane Heat Batter: Jimmy Peirson

  • Date: 2023-01-29
  • Best Odds: 5.5 @ Indibet

The wicketkeeper-batter Jimmy Peirson is leading the run-scoring charts for Brisbane Heat. In the absence of Colin Munro, he has done an excellent job of scoring a plethora of runs for the team. In 15 matches, the 30-year-old has smacked 324 runs at an average of 27.00. The middle-order batter could not play a good role in the Eliminator game against Sydney Thunder. In the must-win encounter, he was dismissed after scoring one run off one ball because of a run-out. Brisbane Heat will be expecting better from their star batter in the Knockout match on Sunday. They have a slightly inexperienced batting line-up as compared to Melbourne Renegades and thus it is extremely important for Peirson to do well.

Top wicket-taker of the match: Michael Neser

Michael Neser will be the bowler to watch out for Sunday as Brisbane Heat will clash with Melbourne Renegades in the Knockout game. The Heat pacer was stunning during the league round of the Big Bash League. He is currently the third-highest wicket-taker with 22 wickets in just 14 matches at an average of 18.00. The right-hand seamer was also good in the team’s last game against Sydney Thunder as he conceded runs at a brilliant economy rate of 4.9. Neser can be the biggest difference between Melbourne Renegades and Brisbane Heat on Sunday.
