Betting Tips

Total Runs

1.833

While the pitch at the Docklands Stadium is good to bat on, there is some help for the bowlers too. As both teams haven’t particularly batted well, we think it is unlikely that we will see an aggregate score of 334 or above.

Total Runs in the Highest Scoring Over of the Match

1.83

As mentioned earlier, the batting hasn’t been very impressive from either side. We are therefore unlikely to see such a high-scoring over.

Shaun Marsh to score Over 23.5 runs

1.83

Shaun Marsh is in good form this season. He has scored 117 runs at an average of 39.00 and has scored 2 half-centuries in his last 3 innings. We are backing him to play well here.

The Melbourne Renegades will be fighting for survival as they face the Hobart Hurricanes for match number 26 in the ongoing BBL season. Both teams will play against each other on Thursday at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne.

Both teams have played 18 matches against each other to date. The Hurricanes have an edge here with 10 wins, while the Renegades have won 8.

MLR vs HBH Team Previews

Melbourne Renegades

The Melbourne Renegades have been the worst-performing team this season. With only 1 win from 7 matches, they are sitting at the bottom of the points table. With just 3 more matches to play, the Renegades must treat each of them as a knockout match if they want to qualify for the playoffs.

Quinton de Kock brought in a lot of expectations at the top of the order but has failed to live up to them so far. The team will need him to play a big inning here if they want a solid start. De Kock will be joined by Jordan Cox as his opening partner. Jake Fraser-McGurk has been pretty consistent in the middle order.

He has scored 189 runs at an average of 31.50 and his knocks include 2 half-centuries. Shaun Marsh is another experienced campaigner. If he bats through the innings, the Renegades can be expected to put up a bit total. The early departure of Mujeeb Ur Rahman does leave a void in the spin department as he was the joint-highest wicket-taker for his team.

There will now be added pressure on Adam Zampa to perform. Will Sutherland and Tom Rogers have picked up 7 wickets each and will lead the pace attack, while Peter Siddle and Kane Richardson will play a supporting role.

MLR vs HBH Toss Prediction

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

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at the Docklands Stadium is good to bat on. A score of around 180 can be considered a par score. That said, the seamers can expect some lateral movement off the seam, especially when the ball is new. Batting gets progressively easier as the ball gets softer. Spinners who bowl an accurate line and length will be rewarded.

The weather is likely to remain clear with temperatures of around 20 degrees Celsius. 

MLR vs HBH Betting Tips

Both teams have performed below par this season and there is no clear favorite to win. However, we feel that the Hobart Hurricanes have a slight edge in this contest. The team has a strong top order and a well-rounded bowling attack. The Hurricanes defeated the Renegades once earlier this season and that should give the team the confidence to do so again.

Bet on the Hobart Hurricanes to win.
