THU vs HEA BBL Match 2 Predictions and Betting Tips

Sydney Thunder will be going head on against Brisbane Heat in the second game of the Big Bash League 2021-22 season. This match is going to be played at the Manuka Oval in Canberra on December 6, Monday. The Big Bash League will allow us to fill our pockets with cash and thus I am going to present to you the best of odds from the THU vs HEA head-to-head encounter.

Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat have had some fierce rivalry in the previous seasons of the Big Bash League. You must know that both teams made it to the playoff stages last year, which means they are two teams who are not to be trifled with. Coming off from a decent season last year, it will be interesting to see who bites into that apple and gets the first taste of victory in their first match of the forthcoming season. The Thunder have a very strong squad this time around as well and Usman Khawaja will be leading the line once again. They have maintained the core which is the norm of a good T20 side. The Heat too have not made any major changes to their BBL squad. With a mouth-watering fixture up for grabs, let us take a look into the best betting tips from the THU vs HEA head-to-head clash.

THU vs HEA Team Bet:

Since the match is going to start four days from now, the aggregators are yet to unleash the markets in abundance. However, I still have managed to dig deep and unearthed a fantastic market from the THU vs HEA battle.

Brisbane Heat to win

Let us start with an easy one so that you can get the ball rolling in your front! Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder have a history in the Big Bash League and it is something that the latter won’t be proud of. The Heat have successfully asserted dominance over their opponent on most occasions and the statistics will speak for themselves. The Thunder and the Heat have collided on 13 occasions in the previous seasons of the Big Bash League. Brisbane Heat have managed to register victories on 10 out of those 13 occasions and that is sheer dominance. In the last five matches, the Thunder have managed to sneak in two wins and yet the Heat have their noses ahead with three wins. Last year, these two met thice and the Heat made the jump over Sydney Thunder twice including a thrashing in the playoffs of the Big Bash League 2020-21 season. The stats at the Manuka Oval cannot be separated as both teams have won one a piece. Pari Match is offering almost double the odds (1.93) for a Brisbane Heat victory in the THU vs HEA match prediction.

THU vs HEA Player Bets:

There are a couple of player bets which are going to be available in a couple of days and you can be rest assured that you will not be disheartened if you invest your money carefully on the ones below, which I have picked from the THU vs HEA encounter.

Alex Hales to score over 24.5 runs

The Englishman Alex Hales has been having a scintillating year with the bat in the shorter formats. Honestly, I have no idea what he needs to do in order to get his name enrolled back into the England National Team. He was once again snubbed from the ICC World T20 2021 squad despite being the highest run scorer in the BBL 2020-21 season. Hales amassed 543 runs in the last season at an average of 38.78. He even scored 185 runs at an average of 23.12 in The Hundred Men’s competition earlier this year. He has played 32 matches for Sydney Thunder 1119 runs at an average of 38.59. In the Big Bash League as a whole, Hales has piled on 1474 runs in 47 matches at an average of 33.50. Hales has scored 1197 runs at an average of 37.41 in 2021 itself. Pari Match has offered the best of odds of 1.87 for Alex Hales to score over 24.5 runs in this game from the THU vs HEA match prediction.

Usman Khawaja to score a few runs at the top

The Australian top-order batsman and also the Sydney Thunder skipper Usman Khawaja is my ultimate pick from the Thunder vs Heat head-to-head encounter. If the Thunder would want to repeat their 2016 heroics all over again, they will need their captain to come up clutch at the top of the order. Khawaja has had a very decent Pakistan Super League earlier this year where he scored 246 runs in just 7 matches at an average of almost 50.00. In 2021, the left-handed opener has scored 468 runs in 17 matches at an average of 33.43. Khawaja has also maintained an average of 33.69 while playing for the Thunder. He has played a total of 57 matches in the Big Bash League up until now and has 1718 runs next to his name at an average of 33.69. Keep an eye out for the best of odds for Usman Khawaja and Pari Match are the obvious frontrunners for the same.
