Hobart Hurricanes Preview: Win in Adelaide a statement
Hobart Hurricanes showed that they are capable of winning on the road in their last match as they defeated Adelaide Strikers by 11 runs thanks largely to an excellent batting performance. They racked up 214/5 on a good batting surface and managed to defend it despite a bad start with the ball.
Most pleasing from a Hurricanes perspective will have been the number of contributions across the team with five of their seven batters utilised recording scores of 20 or more, whilst five of the six bowlers who delivered one over or more managed to grab at least one wicket.
Sydney Sixers Preview: Still flawless after four
Sydney Sixers are now coming off the back of four wins in a row and are looking increasingly difficult to stop following their eight-wicket triumph away at reigning champions Brisbane Heat. You could argue that this was their most impressive victory yet when taking into account the quality of their opponent and how ruthlessly the Sixers dealt with them.
Chasing just 139 to win after a fantastic showing with the ball, Sydney Sixers only needed 16.1 overs to reach their victory target. They made it having lost just two wickets as the top order took care of business.
Hobart Hurricanes Betting Analysis
Batting down the order against Adelaide Strikers, Ben McDermott showed his class with an unbeaten 68 from 34 balls to help parachute Hobart to what was ultimately a winning score. McDermott struck five 6s in that innings and it’s his ability to clear the boundary rope which is what bettors should focus on here, specifically backing McDermott to record over 0.5 match 6s here.
Sydney Sixers Betting Analysis
One bowler has stood out not only within the Sydney Sixers squad, but also across the whole tournament so far, that being Ben Dwarshuis. The left-arm quick has racked up ten wickets from four games played, the most of any bowler over the course of BBL 14 heading into this contest. Therefore, it’s well worth backing Dwarshuis to pick up 2+ wickets in this match.
Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Sixers Expert Prediction
Another stiff test lies ahead for Sydney Sixers with a short turnaround in fixtures and a tough trip to Tasmania. But the visitors are playing as well as we’ve seen and only look to be getting better. There are still question marks over Hobart Hurricanes’ consistency and whether they can maintain it. They’ll give Sydney Sixers a big challenge but backing the Sixers is the move to make when taking into account their current form.
