Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes | Best Team Bets to Win

The 16th match of the Big Bash League 2020 will take place between Brisbane Heat and Hobart Hurricanes at the Brisbane Cricket Ground also known as Woolloongabba or The Gabba, in Brisbane on Wednesday, the 27th of December.

Hobart Hurricanes, who are leading the tables currently, are all set to face Brisbane Heat, who are right at the bottom of the table in the season. Ben Mcdermott has been in solid form for the two games he has played for the Hurricanes, and they are currently the favourites to win the match. The two teams have faced 8 matches at The Gabba in their career and both snuck away 4 victories for themselves. Brisbane Heat, who have lost all matches this season, will be looking desperately to win, and to make the match juicy for you, I have picked the top team bets from the market for you to win money.

Hobart Hurricanes to Win

I want to start with one of the most obvious bets out there. In the last five matches that the teams have faced, Hurricanes have won 3, while the last 2 games were won by Heat. We do have to account for the fact that Hobart Hurricanes has completely dominated on the pitch this season, they have played 4 games and only lost one match to the Strikers, but then they got their retribution in the second match when they beat them soundly and won by 11 runs at the end of both innings. They also beat the defending champions, Sydney Sixers, who have been in tremendous form this season and Melbourne Renegades as well. Brisbane Heat, on the other hand, lost all the three matches they played and managed to win only 1 bash boost point off the Strikers from the games. They also faced the Thunder and the Stars who resoundingly defeated Brisbane Heat. In their careers, the two teams have faced in 16 matches with 10 victories to the Hurricanes and 6 to Heat. While this bet might not have the best odds, it’s the safest bet on the market and Sportsbet.io is offering odds of 1.59 for Hurricanes to win the match.

Brisbane Heat to have the Highest Opening Partnership

I have found yet another winner for you which will allow you to win over double the money. While Hobart Hurricanes have been in excellent form this season, the opening partnership of D'Arcy Short and Will Jacks has not been up to the mark. They have scored a total of 66 runs( 2, 1, 63, 0) from their opening partnerships in the 4 games at an average of 16.5 and have only been able to hold the partnership once. The Heat, on the other hand, has had an opening partnership total of 56 runs (0,37, 19) from their three matches at an average of 18.67 but they have been more consistent with their partnership of Sam Heazlett and Max Bryant. Even if we look at the bowling, Brisbane has conceded a total of 3 runs(2, 1, 0) in opening partnerships at an average of 1.0 while, the Hurricanes have conceded a total of 16 runs(2, 6, 6, 2) from 4 matches at an average of 4.0 while both have tremendous bowling Heat have the edge even there. I also looked at their performances at the pitch for you and in the last three games at The Gabba, Heat scored a total of 107 runs(34, 64, 9) in their opening partnerships at an average of 35.67, while Hurricane scored a total of only 38 runs (14,14,10) at an average of 13.6. LeoVegas.com has offered odds of 2.18 for Brisbane Heat to score the Highest Opening Partnership.

Total Match Sixes to be under 11.5

I have to say this is one of the harder bets to figure, but it would be worth it to win! While both the teams have hit a lot of sixes in this season, this match takes place at the Wooloongabba where teams tend to hit lesser 6’s. The total number of Sixes hit by the teams has been 17 (3, 10, 4) by Heat in their 3 games at an average of 5.66 while Hurricanes have hit 27 sixes at an average of 6.75. While these statistics seem to tell a different story, we have to consider their performances at the pitch before you make your mind up. There has been only one match on the pitch where Brisbane hit 3 sixes and the Strikers hit 2 sixes, with a total of only 5 match sixes. Even in the last 5 matches on the pitch, the total match sixes hit were 34 at an average of 6.8 which is very conducive to this bet.LeoVegas.com has offered odds of 1.79 for the total match sixes to be under 11.5
