STA vs HUR Player Bet:

Both the squads have suffered some blows in spite of having some of the best players in their teams. I have picked the best player betting tips lined ahead from the STA vs HUR player betting tips.

Ben McDermott to score over 25.5 runs

The Hobart Hurricanes wicket-keeper and opening batsman Ben McDermott is having a baller of a season with the bat. This man has smashed two centuries in the current season of the Big Bash League already and a score in the 90s. McDermott is the highest run getter in the current season of the BBL with 516 runs in 11 matches at an average of 51.60. The last time the Hurricanes crushed the Stars by 24 runs and McDermott single-handedly demolished the opponent with a knock of 67 runs. He also has an astonishing batting average of 59.00 at the Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. He was struck out at 3 runs in his previous outing but his batting prowess cannot be underestimated. All the above facts determine him to be the best batting prospect for his team. Pari Match offers the odds of 1.87 for Ben McDermott to smash over 25.5 runs from the STA vs HUR match prediction.

Joe Clarke to score over 20.5 runs

JM Clarke is the top run-scorer for Melbourne Stars with 384 runs at a strike rate of 148. He has struck 34 fours and 16 sixes. He averages at 32.00 in the competition after appearing in 12 matches. His run tally places him fourth in the list of highest run scorers of the tournament. The 25 year old wicket keeper batter has become a crucial part of STA’s batting line-up and is expected to gather the most runs as he has been doing in the past few matches. He smashed 52, 85, 52 and 83 runs in four consecutive games to emerge as one of the batting superpower in the competition. He is coming off an incredible innings of 62 runs vs Heat. The batter has played 102 T20 games where he amassed 2737 runs at an average of 28.51. Although his average looks a little low compared to his current form, he has been successful with the bat lately which is evident from the fact he has already scalped five half centuries in the 12 innings he played so far. With that being said, Clarke is expected to score over 20 runs in the STA vs HUR head-to-head match and you should take the odds of 1.87 for the same offered by Pari Match.
