Follow our guide below for where to watch Big Bash League live streams from anywhere and potentially for FREE.

The Heat come into the match on the back of a defeat, their sole one of the group stage, going down by 35 runs to Perth Scorchers. The Sixers have three successive victories under their belts, including their dramatic last-ball win against the very same Scorchers who have themselves grabbed a spot in the 3rd vs 4th playoff.

This is the third meeting between Heat and Sixers this season. The first was rained off. The second was curtailed by the weather too, with Heat coming out winners by 3 runs using the DLS method.

Both sides’ squad depth will be tested as Brisbane will be without overseas players Colin Munro and Sam Billings, who have left for the UAE T20, and captain Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne, who are playing in the test match in Adelaide (and hence why this Qualifier is not being held at the Adelaide Oval.) But Matt Renshaw has been released from the test squad to play.

The Syndey will be without their overseas players James Vince, to the UAE T20; Tom Curran, to injury; and Steve Smith, who is playing for Australia.

The two times these side have met at Carrara, the Sixers have triumphed. Below are all the details to get a Heat vs Sixers live stream, and how to watch every ball of BBL 13 live online.

Free Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers live stream

Cricket fans in Australia can watch all the action from the Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers live stream FREE on Channel 7 and the 7 plus streaming service

But what if you're based in Australia but aren't at home to catch the BBL live stream – and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country when you'd usually be able to watch for free at home?

Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below.

Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers live streams around the world

It's only natural that you might want to watch a free Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Sixers live stream from your home country, but what if you're traveling overseas when the cricket is on?

Look no further than a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.

They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Download and install a VPN - as we say, our top choice is ExpressVPN.

2. Connect to the appropriate server location - open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location.

3. Go to the broadcaster's stream - head to your home broadcaster's site or app and watch as if you were at home - 7 plus for Aussies abroad.
