HH vs ST Team Previews

Hobart Hurricanes

After losing their opening game, the Hobart Hurricanes are undefeated in their past 5 fixtures and have collected 9 points. They are currently placed 3rd on the points table.

The Hurricanes will bank on its opening pair of Mitchell Owen and Matthew Wade to give them a good start. While Wade hasn’t been in the best of forms, Owen has played well and is the leading run-scorer for the team.

The middle order has two quality batsmen, Shai Hope and Ben McDermott. Both of them have scored runs at a decent average but are yet to play a big knock. Tim David, who was having a relatively quiet season so far, scored a brilliant half-century last week and will play the role of a finisher with the bat.

The Hurricanes have a strong pace attack that has the likes of Chris Jordan, Riley Meredith, Nathan Ellis, and Ben Stanlake. Waqar Salamkheil is the team’s best spinner with 6 wickets.

Hobart Hurricanes Expected Playing 11

Sydney Thunder

Sydney Thunder has 9 points from 7 matches and is currently placed 2nd on the points table. A win here could greatly improve its chances of making it to the playoffs.

David Warner played well in the opening slot and is the leading run-scorer for Sydney Thunder this season. He will be joined by Sam Konstas at the top of the order after an excellent international Test debut in the BGT.

While the middle order doesn’t have any standout performers, Sydney Thunder’s batsmen have put their hand up when needed and have fueled the team’s success.

Oliver Davies, Sherfane Rutherford, Sam Billings, and Matthew Gilkes are all quality players who can perform under pressure. Lockie Ferguson, Wes Agar, and Chris Green are the team’s most successful bowlers with 8 wickets each.

HH vs ST Toss Prediction

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

Pitch and Conditions

The Bellerive Oval has been a batsmen-friendly venue this season. The surface is hard and flat, offering a good pace and the ball comes onto the bat. The new ball does swing a bit but there is now alarming movement and the pitch progressively gets better to bat on as the match progresses. The team batting first will look to score around 185-190 runs here.

The weather will be clear with temperatures of around 20 degrees.

HH vs ST Betting Tips

Both the teams have played well this year and as we near the business end, they will be eager to keep the winning momentum going. We are backing Sydney Thunder to win this match thanks to a strong opening pair and a well-balanced bowling attack.

Bet on Sydney Thunder to win.
