Scorchers to win: why is this a good bet?

After a poor start to the season where they were missing important players, the Scorchers have more than made up for it.

They’ve won four in a row as a combination of excellent fast bowling and a strong middle-order have set the foundations for that superb run, also aided by the fact that they’ve enjoyed home comforts with the last few Bash matches of theirs being at the Perth Stadium.

They’re not without their problems, mind. The in-form Colin Munro misses out after we won on him at 4.5 for Scorchers top bat last game with a slight injury and their opening pair of Jason Roy and Liam Livingstone have been quiet of late.

But their bowlers have been brilliant, as have the likes of Mitch Marsh in their middle order and they should be too good for a team missing injured bowler James Faulker and who have gone off the boil somewhat.

Andrew Tye man of the match: why is this a good bet?

• Bigger price at 19.0 than fellow bowler Richardson (13.0)
• 10 wickets in 8 games so far this tournament.
• In good form with 2/28 and 4/20 in his last two games.
• Picks up wickets because he bowls in the death overs.
• Scorchers prefered to win the game.

Why our hot bet is so hot

Mitch Marsh has had a solid tournament so far, scoring 197 runs but it should be pointed out that he also has four not outs so his average of 46 is in many ways a better indication of just how well he’s been playing.

He’s already won this market twice with some ferocious hitting from number 5 but there’s a further reason why he has a good chance here. With Munro out, he’ll surely move up a place to four and that will just further increase his chances of being Scorchers top bat.

Perth Scorchers v Hobart Hurricanes Live betting tip

The Hurricanes have been a little over-reliant on their Top 3 of Short, McDermott and Malan. When they’ve fired, they’ve been fine but without them, they look a bit lost.

If they bat first and two of those three get out before the 10th over, go low on first innings runs. They may not make it to 165 without them so go below that on Live Betting.

Big Bash big stats

• Scorchers 7-6 up on head to head.
