The stakes are high going into the riveting encounter, expect the players not to give an inch away. For us, there’s everything to take. How? By investing in the best odds from the market which is going to yield the maximum returns. Just have some patience and read through my article, the rest will follow.
Chris Lynn has hit 17 sixes in 6 matches so far
Looks easy? Isn’t it?
Chris Lynn is by far the most destructive batsman in the Big Bash League this season, there’s no doubt that he is more than capable of hitting more than 1 six in the upcoming game. But, let me provide you some stats to substantiate my point. 16 – the number of sixes he has hit in the last five matches (average of 3.2 per game). On three occasions, he’s hit over 1 six which supports our case. He is the top six hitter this season with 17 strikes in just 6 matches (almost 3 per game). In 168 T20s he played so far, Lynn has piled up 268 maximums! That’s incredible. There’s every reason to back him up for the bet. Leaving that aside, his six hitting prowess has been well documented in the Abu Dhabi T10 last year, where he hit 31 sixes in just 8 outings (almost 4 per innings). When there’s an opportunity to multiply your investment more than two times, it would not be wise to overlook this bet.
Brisbane Heat have hit 25 more sixes than Hurricanes this season
When you have the likes of Chris Lynn and Tom Banton in your ranks, sixes will flow at a brisk pace. To put it in numbers, Brisbane Heat have cleared the ropes 49 times in the last five matches (9.8 per innings) compared to Hurricanes’ 24 (4 per innings). On an average, the former have hit almost 6 maximums more than their competitors. Surprisingly, Lynn and Banton have hit 30 maximums together, which is 6 more than the Tasmanians have struck in the entire season!
In the last five matches, the Heats have piled up 41 sixes (8.2 per game) and conceded just 26 (5.2 per game), indicating their dominance when it comes to big hitting. On the contrary, the Hurricanes have registered 22 maximums (4.4 per game) and conceded as many. In the last five H2H matches, both of them have hit 31 sixes each. Judging by the recent form and home advantage, there are no options but to invest on this bet. In the only match played at this venue so far this season, the hosts have hit 8 sixes compared to their opponents 4. What are you wondering about? Just go for this bet.
Zahir Khan has been their best bowler in the past five matches
You have already figured out that there’s an added element of risk in this bet, but I’ll summarize why it’s worth investing. The Afghan has taken 6 wickets in the last five matches and was the pick of the bowler only once. Still asking why I’ve picked out this bet from the lot?
Not only he is the second highest taker for his side in the ongoing Big Bash League, but his uniqueness lies in the consistency he brings along with him. The spinner has taken a wicket in each of the last five matches, a rare feat. On the other hand, Ben Laughlin, the only bowler with a better record for Heat, has also taken 6 wickets but his economy rate is 9.05 compared to Khan’s 6.57 with also a better average (23.00). Apart from the two, others like Jack Prestwidge and Mitchell Sweepson have been bowling well in singular games, which omits them for the lack of evidence. Overall, Khan has taken 57 wickets in the 49 matches he has played in the format, a record which is not ordinary by any standards. A return equal to four times the amount is on the cards, grab it by any means.
