The 35th match of WBBL 2025 will be played between the Sydney Thunder Women and Brisbane Heat Women on 3rd December 2025 at 1:40 PM IST at the North Sydney Oval in Sydney. Both teams enter this match with their struggling form and will be aiming for a crucial victory here. 

 

Sydney Thunder Women

 

Despite having a star-studded squad, the Sydney Thunder Women have failed to deliver in this season of the Women's Big Bash League 2025. They have just collected two wins from their total 8 games. They will be coming into this game on the back of a disappointing 6-wicket defeat to the Sydney Sixers. It's almost sure that they won't be able to book their seat for this year's knockouts. They are currently sitting in the seventh spot in the leaderboard.

 

Brisbane Heat Women

 

It has been a disheartening campaign for the Brisbane Heat Women's team this season. They are winless so far in the tournament, losing all seven games they have played so far, and one game has resulted in a rain washout. Their recent defeat came against the Adelaide Strikers by 6 wickets. While batting first, they were only able to post 149 runs on the board, which the Strikers chased down in the 20th over. They are sitting at the bottom of the table with just one point.
