Hobart Hurricanes Preview: Strikers revenge a blow for Hobart
The Hurricanes failed to record what would’ve been a third consecutive WBBL victory as they were beaten by 38 runs at the hands of Adelaide Strikers in their last match, only three days after defeating the same opposition by 28 runs. Hobart’s batters fired blanks as they were dismissed for 102 chasing 141.
Melbourne Renegades preview: Victory guarantees play-off berth
With ten points from eight games so far, Melbourne Renegades find themselves in an excellent position and a win here would ensure a top four place. However, they would still need to win their final game and rely on Sydney Thunder losing in order to pip the current league leaders to first-place and an automatic passage into the final.
Hobart Hurricanes Betting Analysis
Right-arm medium fast bowler Heather Graham has shown herself to be one of Hobart Hurricanes’ most reliable operators with the ball this season. The 28-year-old boasts 12 wickets across eight games and bowling at Ninja Stadium should suit her nicely. Utilising the ‘Bowler Total Match Wickets’ market and backing Graham to pick up over 1.5 match wickets may prove a smart play.
Melbourne Renegades Betting Analysis
With Alice Capsey having been called up by England following an injury to Paige Scholfield, the Renegades have drafted Essex’s Grace Scrivens as her replacement. Scrivens, a former England U19 captain has proven one of the best batters in English domestic women’s cricket over the past couple of years and can also turn her arm over, mirroring the skills of Capsey. Expect Scrivens to bat in the top order if selected and it would be no surprise to see the stylish left-hander start well for her new team. Consider a small stake in Scrivens to finish this game as Melbourne Renegades’ top batter.
Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades Expert Prediction
This is likely to prove a close contest between two strong teams. Both are capable of big runs but on the flip-side, the bowling attack of either team can easily take control of proceedings if they put deliveries in the right places early on. What may end up being key though is home advantage, which is in Hobart’s favour. That makes backing the Hurricanes to edge out the visitors worth serious consideration.
