Sydney Thunder vs Brisbane Heat match prediction
Sydney Thunder will square off against Brisbane Heat in match number 25 of the 2019-2020 Big Bash League at Sydney Showground on Monday.
While Brisbane Heat got their campaign back on track with a win against Hobart Hurricanes a couple of days ago, Sydney Thunder are a game up on their opponents with three wins in the kitty. Even though the points table will not change irrespective of the result, both teams have something to play for in the game. While the Thunder can close the gap to one against their city rivals, who sit second on the table, the Heat can enhance their chances of making the playoffs. When Thunder and Heat battle it out in the middle, you will have a chance to make some serious amounts of cash by following my market suggestions in this article. Let’s get you sorted.
Lynn averages 62.33 against the Thunder
Chris Lynn is arguably the most destructive batsman in the shorter formats of the game and there are no two ways about it. He is the highest run getter for the Heat with 211 runs in five matches at an average of 52.75 so far and has two half centuries under his belt. Lynn loves playing against the Thunder as he has 436 runs at an average of 62.20 while maintaining a strike rate of 172.33. He is way ahead of the second highest run scorer (Shane Watson - 215) in the head to head encounter. This will be the second encounter between the two sides in the ongoing Big Bash season and Lynn will be kicking himself as he could not fire in the first one. Now that Lynn has found his mojo back with two blistering knocks in the last three matches, he is looking more dangerous than before and that is definitely not a good sign for the Thunder bowling lineup. Along with that, in the two head to heads that Lynn has played at this venue, he averages a massive 139. Paddy Power is offering odds of 3.40 for Lynn to be the top batsman for the Heat on Monday and you can run through the numbers and stats I mentioned again to make yourself believe why you should place your money on the Heat skipper.
Brisbane Heat have won on seven out of nine against the Thunder
This is again guaranteed money in return if you are willing to place your bet on this market. Don’t let the league table fool you - the Heat are still very much in the top two teams in the league. But that is not what we are here for! When the two teams have faced off, the Heat have emerged victorious a whopping seven times in nine occasions. One of the wins that the Thunder were able to add to their tally came in the middle of a miserable run for the Heat at the start of the ongoing season. What makes this bet even safer is the fact that when the two have battled it out at the Sydney Showground Stadium, the Heat have collected the two points on both occasions - one was a 15 run win (DLS) while the second was a win with two balls to spare. With the momentum, Brisbane Heat are the likely side to have the last laugh on Monday. William Hill is offering odds of 2.00 for Heat to win against the Thunder and there lies your chance to double up your investment.
Lynn has hit 33 sixes against the Thunder in 10 innings
Coming back to the man of the moment – Chris Lynn, who is going to help you win a lot of cash in return on Monday and here’s how – The Brisbane Heat captain has hit 15 sixes in three matches so far and that is an average of at least five sixes per game, which straightaway works in your favour. In the previous season of the Big Bash League, Lynn managed to smash 21 sixes in 13 innings. It might be a little less than two sixes per game but you have got to believe that he has become a better batsman and an even better hitter of the white ball since then. Lynn has hit 33 sixes in 10 innings against Thunder and that is an average of over three sixes per game. At this venue, Lynn has managed to hit seven sixes in two matches and Bet 365 is offering odds of 2.50 for Lynn to hit more than 1.50 sixes and the numbers are already suggestive of that fact.
