THE LOWDOWN

PERTH SCORCHERS

  • Having been knocked off the top of the men’s BBL table by Sydney Sixers yesterday, the onus is on Perth Scorchers to regain their place at the summit by beating Hobart Hurricanes.
  • That defeat was only the second that Perth have suffered across their last nine games, a testament as to how well they have performed over the course of the season so far.

HOBART HURRICANES

  • As has been a recurring theme throughout the BBL, fortress Tasmania continues to serve Hobart Hurricanes well, as yet another home victory sees them currently inside the play-off places.
  • Sydney Thunder were the latest team to travel to Hobart and lose, with Matt Renshaw the hero after scoring the winning runs for the Hurricanes off the final ball of the contest.

THE PREDICTION

If Hobart Hurricanes’ away form had mirrored that of their home results, then they would be flying high at the top of the league. However, they have found it extremely difficult to win on the road and that certainly isn’t expected to change here against a Perth Scorchers side who will be looking to take out their frustrations on the Hurricanes after that loss at the hands of Sydney Sixers. Whilst the Hobart top order is not to be underestimated, the superior consistency and depth of Perth Scorchers makes them well worth backing to inflict another away defeat upon Hobart.
