THE LOWDOWN

HOBART HURRICANES

  • It was frustration for Hobart Hurricanes in their opening game as they were put to the sword by Melbourne Stars at the MCG, getting nowhere their opponents’ score of 183/5.
  • The fact that their top score was only a run-a-ball 35 from Matthew Wade says it all really and a batting line-up of Hobart’s quality simply must improve and quickly.

PERTH SCORCHERS

  • Perth Scorchers showed everyone why they are the reigning champions and why they will be tough to stop again this year, beating Sydney Sixers by 38 runs in their first game of the tournament.
  • Jhye Richardson showed his class with the ball, picking up four wickets for the loss of just nine runs and with a plethora of strong quicker bowlers, signs are good for Perth going forward.

THE PREDICTION

If Hobart Hurricanes are to live up to their undoubted potential in this year’s men’s Big Bash League, their home form will be absolutely crucial to their success and games in Tasmania are simply must-win for them. Perth Scorchers are formidable opposition, but home advantage can prove huge advantageous especially to a side like Hobart, whose big hitters should be afforded much more joy on these significantly smaller boundaries compared to those at the MCG. With that in mind, backing the Hurricanes to take down the reigning champions here it may well end up being a very shrewd play.
