Hobart Hurricanes Preview: Unable To Put a Run Together

Hobart Hurricanes continue to frustrate by following up one step forward with two steps back. Twice now they’ve been beaten immediately after putting a win on the board, leaving them with four points from a possible eight so far. After losing by six wickets to Melbourne Stars last time out, they need to come back strongly here at home.

Sydney Sixers preview: Struggling to chase

What do each of Sydney Sixers’ last two defeats have in common? Both came through the Sixers failing to chase down a victory target. They fell short by 11 runs against Adelaide Strikers, before most recently losing out by a more significant margin of 32 runs at the hands of Melbourne Stars via DLS.

Hobart Hurricanes Betting Analysis

Once again, we find ourselves focusing on Heather Graham after another excellent showing with the ball in Hobart’s last game. Graham added a further two wickets against the Stars, meaning she’s now racked up eight wickets over the course of the tournament so far. When taking into account that Graham averages two wickets per game, backing her to accumulate over 1.5 match wickets here has to be favoured.

Sydney Sixers Betting Analysis

Despite having been at the crease for just three innings so far, Ellyse Perry stands clear as the tournament’s top run-scorer as it stands, having piled up 166 runs at an average of 83.00. Twice she’s finished as Sydney Sixers’ top scorer over the course of their three games played, so a small stake on Perry via the ‘Team - Top Batter’ market looks a sensible move. A safer play would be further investment in the 34-year-old to score 20+ runs for what would be the fourth straight game.

Hobart Hurricanes Vs Sydney Sixers Expert Prediction

This is a tough contest to predict when considering that the Hurricanes are at home, but Sydney Sixers boast the stronger team on paper. Bad weather could also prove a factor and the toss may wind up being crucial. When taking all this into account, it further demonstrates the potentially shrewd option of focusing on an individual player, specifically Ellyse Perry. With two scores of over 50 runs already across her last three innings, back another substantial knock from the Sixers phenom.
