Sydney Thunder vs Hobart Hurricanes match prediction
Sydney Thunder will take on Hobart Hurricanes in match number 31 of the ongoing season of the Big Bash League at Sydney Showground Stadium on Saturday. Sydney Thunder kickstarted their campaign brilliantly with two back-to-back victories but thereafter, they somehow seemed to have lost their way. In their last five matches, the Callum Ferguson-led side has lost four and that has left them in the fifth position in the points table. However, if they manage to outshine the Hurricanes in the forthcoming fixture, they will have a chance to replace Brisbane Heat in the third position on the ladder. On the other hand, the Hurricanes have the worst net run rate of all, having won only three out of their seven matches that they have played so far. The Hurricanes could only win one out of their last four fixtures and they are not in a good place at the moment. However, who cares? No wait, I am serious! I mean let us just care about the money that we can earn from this game instead of worrying about the Thunder and the Hurricanes. Let me help you do that, shall I?
Callum Ferguson is the highest run getter for Sydney
Callum Ferguson to be the top team batsman for Sydney Thunder @ 3.75
After a brilliant run with the bat in the domestic season, Sydney Thunder skipper Callum Ferguson, has stepped up and has been scoring a lot of runs for his side in this edition of the Big Bash League. Ferguson is the second highest run getter in the tournament and is also the highest run scorer for the Thunder with 288 runs in eight matches at an average of 48.00. He has three half-centuries in eight innings, and he has just been scoring runs at free will at the age of 35, proving yet again that it’s just a number. His scores so far – 35, 5, 19, 73, 52, 27*, 4, and 73* - speak volume about his consistency and performance in this ongoing season. In the previous season of the Big Bash League, Ferguson was the number on the run scorer’s list and as usual the highest run getter for the Thunder with 442 runs in 14 matches at an average of 34.00. Bet 365 is offering odds of 3.75 for Ferguson to be the top batsman for Thunder on Saturday and that is your chance to earn almost four times your investment.
Daniel Sams top bowler for the Thunder in five out of eight matches
Daniel Sams to be the top team bowler for Sydney Thunder @ 3.25
Here’s your money-maker – meet Daniel Sams, the lanky left arm seamer from New South Wales! Sams had picked up 15 wickets in 14 matches in the previous edition of the Big Bash League and yet he was the highest wicket taker for his side. Believe it or not, he has hit that number in the ongoing season of the Big Bash League in just eight matches, striking at 10.9, which is outstanding! His figures this season – 1/36, 2/24, 3/25, 2/32, 1/24, 2/21, 2/26, and 2/34 – show his knack of picking up wickets at crucial junctures of the game. He has been the top bowler for Sydney Thunder on five out of eight matches they have played in this tournament so far. Bet 365 is offering odds of 3.25 for Daniel Sams to be the top team bowler for Thunder and there is no way you can miss this opportunity to add to your bank balance.
Hurricanes have hit 26 sixes compared to Thunders’ 23.
This is probably one of the very few markets where the Hurricanes will trump the Thunder. We don’t really care do we, as long as the money keeps flowing into our accounts! Let’s make some more money with this market – So, the Hurricanes have hit 26 sixes compared to Thunders’ 23 sixes in the ongoing season of the Big Bash League. In the previous season of the Big Bash League, the Hurricanes led the way yet again with 80 sixes to their tally compared to Thunders’ 63 of them. In head to head encounters, the Hurricanes (47) are just two sixes ahead of their opponents (45). However, at Sydney Showground Stadium, both the Hurricanes and the Thunder have hit eight sixes each in two matches. Bet 365 is offering odds of 2.00 for the Hurricanes to score more sixes in the match and that is probably one of the best chances to double up your money.
