Betting Tips

BH vs HH Betting Tips

Total wickets Under 13.5

While the bowlers will get some help at The Gabba, there is plenty of assistance for the batsmen as well. None of the last 4 matches played here have seen more than 13 wickets fall and we are expecting that trend to continue.

Max Bryant to score Over 17.5 runs

Max Bryant is the leading run-scorer for Brisbane this year. He has an average of 48.60 and has scored at least 18 runs in 4 of his last 5 innings.

Having already qualified for the playoffs, Hobart Hurricanes will look to cement their place at the top of the points table as they take on Brisbane Heat in the ongoing Big Bash League. The match will be played at The Gabba on Thursday.

The two teams have faced each other in 23 matches so far. The Hurricanes have won 13 while Brisbane Heat have won 10.

BH vs HH Team Previews

Brisbane Heat

After a good start, Brisbane’s form has dipped over the last couple of weeks as the team has managed to pick up only 3 points from the last 6 matches. They are currently placed 5th on the points table.

Brisbane’s batting has been rather inconsistent this year. While Max Bryant and Matthew Renshaw have played a couple of good knocks in the middle order, the others including Tom Alsop and Colin Munro haven’t been able to support them.

Similarly, Brisbane has experimented quite a bit with its opening combination but has yet to find a steady pair. However, with Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne available for this match, Brisbane will be hoping to put up a better performance with the bat.

The bowlers, who were Brisbane’s biggest strength last season, have put up an underwhelming performance so far. Xavier Bartlett is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 10 wickets.

Spencer Johnson has managed to pick only 8 wickets in 5 innings, while the two spinners, Matthew Kuhnemann and Mitchell Swepson have picked up 10 between themselves.

  • Nathan McSweeney
  • Matthew Renshaw

Hobart Hurricanes

The Hobart Hurricanes have been brilliant this year and are unbeaten in their last 7 outings. They are at the top of the points table and have already qualified for the playoffs.

Rather than depending on a single individual, the Hurricanes have performed well as a team and that has been their biggest strength. Mitchell Owen has been a dependable opener and is also the team’s leading wicket-taker. He is likely to be joined by Caleb Jewell at the top of the order.

Nikhil Chaudhary and Tim David have played some good knocks in the middle order, with David being in particularly explosive form. Riley Meredith has been the team’s best bowler with 11 wickets. He will be joined by Billy Stanlake and Nathan Ellis in the pace department while Peter Hatzoglou will play as a full-time spinner.

Hobart Hurricanes Expected Playing 11

  • Mitchell Owen
  • Matthew Wade (WK)
  • Tim David
  • Caleb Jewell
  • Charlie Wakim
  • Jake Doran
  • Nathan Ellis (C)
  • Peter Hatzoglou
  • Riley Meredith
  • Billy Stanlake
  • Nikhil Chaudhary

BH vs HH Toss Prediction

The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at The Gabba is balanced and we can expect a cracking contest between the bat and the ball. The seamers will get some help early on in the match but once the ball gets older, the batsmen will be able to play their shots. The team batting first will look to score at least 180 runs. The surface doesn’t change much throughout the match.

The weather will remain clear with temperatures of around 25 degrees.

BH vs HH Betting Tips

We are backing the Hobart Hurricanes to win this match. They have been clinical in their performance over the last few matches and have done well in all departments. They have a decent record against Brisbane and are likely to prevail.

Bet on the Hobart Hurricanes to win.
