The Brisbane Heat are an Australian men's professional twenty20 cricket team that competes in the Big Bash League. The Heat wears a teal uniform and are based in Brisbane in the Australian state Queensland. Their home ground is the Brisbane Cricket Ground.
In their second season, they won the Big Bash League for the first time and thus qualified for the Champions League Twenty20.
The team lost their first four matches, but – still with an outside chance to reach the semi-finals – won their last three matches and were just eliminated in the last match. Brendon McCullum missed some matches as he was playing HRV Cup in New Zealand simultaneously while Daniel Vettori missed few games because of injury while the original captain James Hopes missed the whole tournament because of injury. The team ended fifth out of eight on the points table.
