Scor🍎chers always seem to find a way to win. Thunder always seem to find a way to lose.

Getting a look at how the Heat will probably go in the finals 😐 With no Khawaja, Labuschagne, Billings or Munro our batting looks very thin. CA needs to tweak BBL schedule further to enable best players to💃 be available at the pointy end of the seasonඣ. This sucks.

Brisbane Heat Playing without Khawaja,Marnus, Munro, Billings !
Any how it's a bowling dependent team.— 🎰 (@StanMSD)
