Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Sixers

Alice Springs

Sydney Sixers to beat Hobart Hurricanes – £10 @ 1/1 (Various) 

Over 9.5 Sixes – £20 @ 10/11 (Coral)

Caleb Jewell Under 0.5 Sixes – £20 @ 4/6 (Betfair)

Qais Ahmad Over 24.5 Player Performance Points – £10 @ 1/1 (Bet365)

Sydney Sixers to beat Hobart Hurricanes – £10 @ 1/1 (Various)  – Although listed as a home fixture, this is far from it for Hobart. Alice Springs is in Northern Territories – far away from Tasmania. Looking at both sides away records, Sixers have a far superior percentage (52.63%) compared to that of Hobart (44.74%). The Sixers produced a very impressive performance in sweeping aside Perth on Wednesday and will welcome a quick turnaround with momentum so important. H2H is 5-5 and the odds do suggest it’s going to be a close one but I fancy Sydney to pinch this one.

Over 9.5 Sixes – £20 @ 10/11 (Coral) – Only one previous BBL game at this venue (ended with 6) so no sample size to use stats with this one but looking at these line ups there surely has to be sixes flying around here. Short, Miller, McDermott, Philippe, Hughes etc are all capable of making a hole in this total and the most recent picture I saw of the ground suggest the wicket could be a belter.

Caleb Jewell Under 0.5 Sixes – £20 @ 4/6 (Betfair) – Not sure this price is correct. Second season in BBL cricket for this 22 year old. He started off the domestic 4 day campaign in good form but his form has dropped off a cliff with scores of 14, 10, 24, 3, 8, 9, 1 and most recently 3. Averages 0.22 sixes per T20 innings – it’s a bet at these odds.

Qais Ahmad Over 24.5 Player Performance Points – £10 @ 1/1 (Bet365) – This is the wrong line for him. He currently averages 33.46 in this market in T20 cricket. He averages well over a wicket per game (1.26), has a useful batting average of 14.25 if required and can always pick up a catch here and there. Won this market in all 3 BBL games he played last season. (Market = 20 for a wicket, 10 for a catch, 1 per run). 


Brisbane Heat vs Melbourne Stars

Metricon Stadium, Canberra
08:10 (UK TIME) – BT Sport

Ben Laughlin Over 20.5 Player Performance Points – £20 @ 5/6 (Betfair)

Ben Laughlin Over 20.5 Player Performance Points – £20 @ 5/6 (Betfair) – Laughlin averages 28.48 PPP per T20 match. He averages a healthy 1.22 wickets per game and this tournament is by far is best in terms of performance. He won this market in the opening game vs Sydney Thunder with one wicket and bonus of 7 runs. If the Heat bat like they did in the last game there’s every chance he could get a bat again and it might be a case of just needing those 2 runs (if he gets a wicket). (Market = 20 for a wicket, 10 for a catch, 1 per run).
