The Sydney Sixers have named a 14-player squad ahead of their clash with the Brisbane Heat in Coffs Harbour tomorrow night.
The Sixers will be looking to return to the winner’s list in front of a Coffs crowd tomorrow after falling to the Hurricanes in Hobart last night.
Starring with the ball last night, Jackson Bird (4-16) collected his best Big Bash figures to date, picking up the wickets of Matthew Wade, Shai Hope, Ben McDermott and Tim David.
