The 5th match of the Big Bash League will take place between Hobart Hurricanes and Adelaide Strikers at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Sunday, the 13th of December.
The Big Bash League began with a bang, Hobart Hurricanes took down Sydney Sixers in their very first match, and are set to face the Adelaide Strikers. The two teams have a pretty equal record, they have both played 10 matches against each other, and both teams have 5 victories to their names. Adelaide Strikers has a slight edge, with 3 out of 5 wins to their name in the last 5 encounters, and a slightly higher standing in the points table. Nevertheless, the game is all set to be a thrill to watch, and I have assorted the top three team bets for you to win money off the game.
After some stupendous performances, both at home and on away grounds, Hobart Hurricanes are now known for their aggressive batting style. They hit more than 13.5 fours in 4 out of the last 5 mat
ches they played and had an average of 15.2 from them. In their matches against Adelaide Strikers in the last two seasons, they hit a total of 55 fours (15, 14, 14, 16) with an average of 14.75 from the 4 matches. Even though they did not manage to hit the target number of fours in 2 out of the last 5 matches on their home grounds, their average from the last five matches played at Bellerive Oval is also adequate at 13.6. With numbers like these, it is extremely likely for the Hurricanes to hit more than 13.5 fours and RoyalPanda is offering odds of 1.85 for the same.
Jake Wheatherland and Phil Salt are fine openers for the Adelaide Strikers, but in T20 cricket, it is hard to get in batting form, without losing a wicket, and the statistics agree with me. In the last 5 matches played by the Adelaide Strikers, they were unable to score over 21.5 runs in three of the five games. If we look at their games against the Hurricanes, the Strikers were not able to score over 21.5 runs without losing a wicket last season and were only able to score over 21.5 runs once out of the 4 matches the teams played in the last two seasons. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.85 for Adelaide Strikers to lose their first wicket under 21.5 runs and you should definitely go for this bet.
With this bet, I have found the most profitable bet in the market for you. I mentioned earlier, how the Hurricanes are monsters on the field when it comes to hitting boundaries. In the last 5 matches, the teams have faced against each other, the Hurricanes have hit a total of 33 sixes(11, 7, 3, 5, 7) with an average of 6.6, Hobart Hurricanes scored over 5.5 sixes in both the matches played against the Strikers in the last season. We further checked on the average number of sixes hit by the Hurricanes in their previous games, and in their last 5 games, they hit a total of 34 sixes with an average of 6.8. In fact, the season average of the Hurricanes, in the last season of BBL was 6.1 from the ten matches they completed. To make the deal even sweeter Leovegas.com has offered odds of 2.04 for the Hurricanes to hit more than 5.5 sixes, giving you the chance to win more than double your money!
