BBL Team Stats: Brisbane Heat
Brisbane Heat won the second edition of the Big Bash League back in 2012-13. Since then, they did not have a great run in the competition finishing in the bottom half of the table in the League Stages regularly barring in 2016-17 when they managed to reach the semi-finals.
In that semi-finals, they were cruelly knocked out of the tournament when they lost the super over to the Sydney Sixers (both the teams were level at 167 at the end of 20 overs). If they manage to win the 2018-19 tournament they will become the only team after Perth Scorchers to win at least two BBL trophies.
Time to take a look at their stats.
