Hobart Hurricanes is set to host Perth Scorchers in match 35 of the Big Bash League at the Bellerive Oval, in Hobart this Monday. Perth Scorchers and Hobart Hurricanes have slim chances of making it to the knock-out stages of the 2019-20 Big Bash League, so a win is the need of the hour for both the teams. The Monday fixture will not only be a blockbuster one, but a window of opportunity to earn some real cash by the end of the day.
The Aussie all-rounder has been phenomenal this season, having already scored 307 runs in 8 matches this season at an astounding average of 51.16. Even in the last match, he scored a match-winning 93-run knock to guide the Scorchers to a victory. In the last five matches, he racked up 205 runs at a rate of 41 runs per innings and only twice has his score been less than 23 in the above-mentioned cases. If you feel these stats might not be enough to get you the money promised, read along.
Mitchell Marsh’s scores in the last four away matches – 21, 26, 14, 32, which fulfils our criteria partially. On the other hand, his H2H record against Hobart Hurricanes is also pretty decent, having scored 156 runs in 5 matches, averaging 31.20. He is the highest run-scorer for the Scorchers this season and there’s no reason why he should not get past the 22-run mark when they play at home this Monday. Do not miss out on this fool-proof bet.
This is the easiest one of the lot and a chance to almost double your investment. First, let’s take the case of Hobart Hurricanes, a team which has been weak in terms of big-hitting. They managed to strike just 33 sixes in 8 matches at a rate of 4.125 per innings. In the last five Big Bash League matches played at the venue, the number of sixes hit amount to 47 (9.4 per match). Most importantly, there have only been two instances where the number of sixes registered was north of 10.
If we look at the records in Bellerive Oval, only 45 sixes have been hit in the past matches (9 sixes on an average). Meanwhile, D’ Arcy Short, Hobart Hurricanes top batter and their highest six-hitter this season, is currently in India and is not going to feature in the upcoming game, which removes a major sting out of their batting attack. Even if the Scorchers manage to hit six or seven, we might not expect many from the hosts, making this a winning bet.
Even if we are short of big hits, do you know what’s guaranteed? Numerous boundaries and your chance to win some easy cash early next week. Can you guess how many boundaries have been hit in the last five matches?130 – at a rate of 26 per game, which proves it is a venue where batsmen make merry. More importantly, the matches featuring these two teams have witnessed boundaries flowing like a stream. The ball has been sent to the ropes a total of 128 times in the past five H2H matches at a rate of 25.6 per game. In the last five matches Perth Scorchers featured in, they have hit 12 or more boundaries in quite a few occasions, which concludes that they have struck almost half of our required target on an average. Meanwhile, the Hobart Hurricanes have dominated at home and using the conditions, they are going to find the boundaries quite often.
