Melbourne Stars vs Hobart Hurricanes match prediction 27th match

Melbourne Stars vs Hobart Hurricanes | Best Bets from the Match

The 27th match of the Big Bash League 2020 will take place between Melbourne Stars and Hobart Hurricanes at the Bellerive Oval, also known as the Blundstone Arena, in Hobart on Monday, the 4th of January.

Hobart Hurricanes beat Melbourne Stars in the last match, on the same pitch on Saturday by 21 runs. They gave an achievable target of 164 runs and then slowly chipped off the batsmen for the Stars. Captain Glenn Maxwell was able to make a stand and scored 70 runs, almost half of the total 143 runs scored by the team. Scott Boland was the player of the match for his terrific bowling with 4 wickets and only 22 runs from 4 overs. Hurricanes have now won 3 of the 5 previous encounters and are the favourites to win the match, I have picked the best bets from the market for you to make a winning, no matter the outcome of the match.

Glenn Maxwell to Score Over 24.5 runs

The Melbourne Stars’ skipper is hailed as the fastest scoring batsman in the world, and every time we see him out with his piece of willow, his performances are a delight to watch. Maxwell has scored 6451 runs from 273 innings in his career, at an average of 27.56, which is adequate, but if we consider his play for the Stars, he has scored 1951 runs from 68 innings, at an average of 36.12. This already looks good for the bet and even if we look at his play against the Hurricanes, from the 11 innings he has come out to bat against them, he has scored 362 runs at an average of 51.71, the most incredible part is, his play at Bellerive Oval, where he has scored a total of 341 runs from just 7 matches, at an average of 85.25! In the 4 matches he faced Hobart Hurricanes at Bellerive Oval, he scored a total of 218 runs (70, 43*, 47, 58*) from the matches at an average of 119.0! Sportsbet.io is offering odds of 1.85 for Glenn Maxwell to score over 24.5 runs and I think you should definitely make this bet.

Peter Handscomb to score under 19.5 runs

Peter Handscomb is premiering for the Hurricanes this season and it has not been a good season for him so far, with a total of 74 runs from the 7 matches at an average of 12.3, and he managed to score over 19.5 runs only once His career average is 23.20 from 80 innings, but his game recently has been below par and he has only been able to score over 19.5 runs twice in the last 10 matches. To the extent that Handscomb was moved down in the position in the previous match, from 4th to the 7th position where he was only able to score three runs before his team won. Furthermore, he is going to be playing his second match against his former team, in a pitch that he does not have much success in. Handscomb has played 5 innings at the Bellerive Oval and managed to score only 79 runs from them, at an average of 19.75. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.85 for Peter Handscomb to score under 19.5 runs.

Andre Fletcher to score under 19.5 Runs

Andre Fletcher has a solid reputation for being consistent, he has played 203 innings in his career, and scored a total of 4953 runs at an average of 27.06. He even delivered for the West Indies team in their matches against New Zealand, but this is his first season playing in Australia, and it hasn’t gone well. In the six matches that Fletcher has come to bat for the Stars, he has managed to score a total of 62 runs(10, 18, 4, 6*, 12, 12) at an average of 12.4 which is very conducive for the bet. I would also like to point out that he has not managed to score over 18 runs in the series yet. This is the second time Andre Fletcher is going to be playing at the Bellerive Oval, and also facing Hobart Hurricanes and in his previous match he got out at 10 runs. Sportsbet.io yet again has offered odds of 1.85 for Andre Fletcher to score under 19.5 runs.

Total Match Sixes to be over 10.5

The last bet I picked for you is probably the safest bet on the market. Melbourne Stars are absolute monsters when it comes to hitting sixes. They have hit sixes at an average of 8.2 from the 5 matches they have played and they themselves have hit over the target sixes in one match. Hurricanes while not as proficient as the Stars at hitting the Sixes, have managed to hit sixes at an average of 5.86 and managed to hit 1 more six than the Stars in their previous game on Saturday. If we consider the number of sixes hit by the Hurricanes from their 4 matches at Bellerive Oval, we see they had hit a total of 28 sixes(7, 8, 8, 5), which is an average of 7.0 at the pitch. If we consider the Total match sixes in the two teams’ games this season, The average total Match sixes for Hurricanes has been 11 while the average total match sixes in the Stars 5 matches have been 15.6! In the 11 matches played between the two teams this season, the total match sixes were over 10.5 in 9 of the 11 games including 3 out of the 4 games at the pitch. All this points to the total Sixes being around 14 but when two such aggressive teams collide, the number of sixes can only go upward and this is an extremely safe bet to make. RoyalPanda.com has offered odds of 1.72 for total Match sixes to be over 10.5.
