It’s do-or-die for the two bottom ranked BBL sides when the Brisbane Heat host the Sydney Thunder at the Gabba on Saturday.
The 3-4 Heat get two huge boosts with the returns of Test star Marnus Labuschagne and recently retired Usman Khawaja, who will assume captaincy duties. Brisbane also brings in Pakistan fast bowler Zaman Khan to replace the injured Shaheen Shah Afridi.
David Warner’s 1-6 Thunder, meanwhile, remain unchanged.
