Sydney Sixers will lock horns with Hobart Hurricanes in match 39 of the 2019-20 Big Bash League at the Sydney Cricket Ground, this Thursday evening. The hosts would be confident to pull off a clinical victory at home against a struggling Hobart Hurricanes and cement their place in the top 2, while Hurricanes is task cut-off to do the same and stay in contention for the title. Our task? Pick out the best odds, invest money and get handsome returns. Just spare a few minutes, go through my analysis and witness smart investments turning into large amounts.
This might actually turn out to be a David and Goliath battle after all and the odds of 1.57 secures guaranteed money which should not be denied. I have stats to back my claim.
Sydney Sixers are at the second position in the points table with 12 points, having won six and lost three. On the flip side, Hobart Hurricanes have won just three and lost the other six. Looking into the recent records, the Sixers are in red hot form having won five out of their last six matches. A different tale underlines Hurricanes’ story, having won just one out of their last six matches.
Sydney Sixers have particularly performed well at the SCG, having won two of their three matches this season. With the likes of Tom Curran and Moises Henriques in their ranks, it is unlikely that the visitors will pull off an unexpected upset in alien conditions. Meanwhile, Hobart Hurricanes miss the services of D’ Arcy Short, by far their top batter, due to International duties. The stage is set, just place the bet, 1.57 cashback is what you get.
The English speedster has owned the T20 format since his induction in the International and he is emulating a similar feat with his franchise as well. He is also the one who make you rich within the span of an hour and I mean it.
Tom Curran is the fourth highest wicket taker this season and naturally leading the charts for him. The fast bowler has taken 14 wickets in just 9 matches at an average of 24.42. In the last three matches at home, Curran has scalped 5 wickets while his best figures this season was 4/22. His figures in the last five matches – 1/58, 4/22, 0/40, 1/58, 2/23 and was the pick of the bowlers in the last two matches.
Looking at the bigger picture, Curran has been shades above his compatriots in the ongoing BBL, with his nearest competitor Sean Abbott out of action. Llyod Pope has taken 10 wickets in 8 matches while Dwarshuis has scalped 10 out of his 9 matches. It would be foolish not to back Tom Curran for the upcoming match, which is also a missed opportunity to earn some real money.
It may have been a very risky bet and I would have overlooked it, but a few factors tempted me to go for this one, including odds of 1.90. Let’s go further into details.
The Sixers have hit a total of 41 sixes this season at a rate of 4.5 per match, while the Hurricanes have struck 35 sixes with an average of 3.77 per match. Meanwhile, D’ Arcy Short, who managed to hit nine sixes for the Hurricanes is not featured in the upcoming match, which leaves the rest hitting 25 sixes (2.7 per match).
On the other hand, Sixers have bowlers like Tom Curran and Llyod Pope, against whom the batsmen have struggled to hit the big ones. In the last H2H match, Sixers hit four sixes compared to Hurricanes’ one.
