Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes | Best Bets to Win Money

The 52nd match of the Big Bash League 2020-21 season will take place between Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Sixers at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in Melbourne on Sunday, January 24.

The Big Bash League is at its end, and we have the teams who previously faced in the 1st match of the league this season. Hobart Hurricanes won the encounter against the Sixers, as it has won 4 of the last 5 matches between the teams, but Sydney Sixers have shown how indomitable they are on the field, while Hobart Hurricanes have not been able to perform that well in the season. Sixers are currently tied for 1st place with the Scorchers at 32 points, while the Hurricanes are in the penultimate position above the Renegades at 23 points. With two matches left for both teams before the knockouts, we can’t count Hobart out yet, but the Sixers are definitely going to the qualifiers now, even if they lose both the matches.

Peter Handscomb to Score Over 15.5 runs

The Australian batsman was signed on to Hobart Hurricanes for the 2020 season, and he has not played tremendously this season as was expected of him. Handscomb has scored a total of 189 runs from the 12 matches he has played with an average of 18.9 runs. While this isn’t a top-notch performance, it is still viable for our bet. Handscomb did not perform at all during the beginning of the season, except in the 1st match, but he has made a comeback and has been staying on the crease longer now. In the last 5 matches, Handscomb scored 115 runs(30, 21*, 13, 30, 21), with an average of 28.75, where he scored over the required target in 4 of the 5 matches. Over 15.5 runs, is too low a target for a seasoned Batsman like Handscomb, and in his previous matches against the Sixers, he has scored 221 runs from 9 matches against them, at an average of 28.0 including the 24 runs, he scored in his first match playing for the Hurricanes. He has played 19 innings at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and scored a total of 348 runs with an average of 34.80, which is more than double the required target. Sportsbet.io has dreamed up odds of 1.85 for Peter Handscomb to score over 15.5 runs, and you should take this bet.

Sydney Sixers to score the Most Match 4's

This is a solid bet on the boundary hitting capabilities of the Sixers. In the 11 complete matches in the season, the Sixers have hit a total of 178 fours! This is an average of 16.18 fours per match, which is outstanding. Compare that to the Hurricanes, who have hit 153 fours from 12 matches with an average of 12.75, and we realize just how big the gap between the teams is and how your money is definitely safe on this bet. The two teams have conceded fours similarly, but Sixers hold the edge even there. The Hurricanes have conceded a total of 160 fours from 12 games, at an average of 13.8, while the Sixers have conceded a total of 143 fours from the 11 games, at an average of 13.0. This clearly shows that the Sixers hold the upper hand when it comes to hitting the smaller boundaries. Sportsbet.io has offered the best odds of 1.90 for the Sixers to hit the most match 4's

Sydney Sixers to score the Highest Opening Partnership

This is another safe bet to go for, where you have an extremely high chance of winning. Sydney Sixers were opening with Josh Phillipe and Jack Edwards, but Edwards has been unavailable for the last 3 matches and James Vince has taken his place. The two batsmen have performed tremendously in the 3 games, with a total of 130 runs(50, 40, 40) from their opening partnerships, at an average of 43.33. Even if we look at the season average of the Sixers, as Phillipe has been opening throughout, the Sixers have an opening partnership average of 26.08 from their 12 games. Hobart Hurricanes have been opening with D'Arcy Short and Ben Mcdermott, but with the return of captain Matthew Wade, he came out to open with Short in the last match. All the combinations have not worked well though. Hurricanes only managed to score 173 runs from the 12 matches at an average of 14.75, even in the last match with Wade and Short opening, they got only 6 runs from the opening partnership. Hurricanes have fared worse even when it comes to conceding runs from the opening partnerships. They have conceded at an average of 54.8 while the Sixers have conceded at an average of 28.17. These numbers speak volumes and RoyalPanda.com has offered the best odds of 1.81 for Sydney Sixers to have the highest score at the 1st dismissal.
