Hurricanes to win: why is this a good bet?

Adelaide Strikers are actually 8-5 up on the head-to-head between the two over the years but the Strikers don’t look quite as strong as in previous years in terms of personnel.

Hobart Hurricanes were good value for both their wins so far, including of course against these very opponents. Key to the win was just how well the Hurricanes’ batsmen handled Rashid Khan.

The Afghan twirler normally takes a couple of wickets and goes at around 6 an over but this time he took just one wicket and went for 38 runs in four overs.

Different day, different game. But if the Hurricanes can play him that well again, they’ll have every chance of repeating their win.

Why our hot bet is so hot

Rashid Khan is always the man to beat as Strikers top bowler and there are good reasons to think we can get him beat.

As we said already, the Hurricanes took a liking to him and it may be some time before he’s fully acclimated to Australian pitches.

Peter Siddle took a wicket and went for just 29 runs so clearly the Hurricanes found him tough to face. A similar effort could see veteran Siddle go very close.

D’Arcy Short man of the match: why is this a good bet?

• Was MOM in their previous game.
• Scored 72 off 48 last time.
• Record run-scorer in this fixture with 499 runs.
• Averages 62 against the Strikers.
• Also, bowls so could chip in with a wicket.
• Hurricanes fancied to win.

Live Betting Tip

Hobart have some dangerous lower-order hitters such as Tim David and James Faulkner. If the Hurricanes bat first and lose early wickets, think about going over 165 runs on the innings runs market because there could be some fireworks from those two.

Big Bash big stats

• James Faulkner was the only bowler to take three wickets when they played at the weekend.
• The two highest scorers with the bat for the Strikers in that game were Number Eight Daniel Worrall (62) and Number 11 Danny Briggs (35).
• There have been three centuries scored in this fixture over the years: Wade, Weatherald and Carey.
