The Heat, currently fifth in the eight-team table, need to win both their remaining matches to keep their playoff hopes alive. They have seven points from eight matches (three wins and one no result). Their league engagement will conclude with a clash against Melbourne Renegades.
The Hurricanes, meanwhile, are one of the three teams to have qualified for the knock-outs. They have 13 points from eight matches (six wins and one no result). Nathan Ellis & Co. will play their final league game against Melbourne Stars on Sunday.
Speaking at the toss, Ellis said, "We are going to bowl. It has done with the new ball, I think we can chase down the total, like we have done in the last few games. Need consistency in all facets, on and off the field. Trying not to get too high, not to get too low. Stanlake broke his shoulder in the previous game, so we have a debutant in our team."
