The record
Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League
Queensland’s side has always been the most watchable and the least predictable in the Big Bash. Two titles, 2012-13 and 2023-24, sit either side of a decade in which very little went right: 68 wins from 153 matches works out at 44.4%, and only two clubs sit lower. When the Heat click they are brutal — CA Lynn made 2,960 runs for them at a strike rate of 149.19, and only a couple of players in the whole competition have scored that heavily for one club and gone faster.
The Gabba has not been the fortress it might have been: 23 wins from 56 at Brisbane Cricket Ground, about 41%. MT Steketee is the leading wicket taker with 88, though Mujeeb Ur Rahman has been the harder man to score off at 6.21 an over. They have a healthy record against Sydney Thunder, 14-7, and a poor one against Perth Scorchers, who have beaten them 16 times in 24 meetings.
