Hobart Hurricanes To Win, 1.73
The Central Stags have lost both of their first two games in the GSL 2025
Ben McDermott is likely to lead the way with the bat and in the field for the Hurricanes
Fabian Allen will be worth his weight in gold with bat and ball in the West Indies
First dismissal of the match to be Caught
Of all the modes of dismissal, the caught by a fielder or a keeper is the most common one. To get an almost 45% return on that bet is incredible value. Take it with both hands as it will pay out on most days.
Ben McDermott to score over 20.5 runs
The former Australian T20I cricketer has generally been a powerhouse short-format batter, particularly domestically for Tasmania and the Hobart Hurricanes. He fell two runs short of a half-century in his opening innings of the tournament, so he should have no trouble making a start against the Stags.

The struggles of the Central Stags may be too much for them to overcome their Trans-Tasman rivals in the Hobart Hurricanes. The Stags have failed to click despite a strong side on paper.

Captain Tom Bruce is a powerful right hander who not only leads but excels. The former Black Cap has over 300 runs for the Stags in his past ten T20 innings for them. Will Young had to play with a steadier approach in his previous innings of the tournament when he scored 26 runs off 29 balls. Dane Cleaver keeps the extras on a low behind the stumps while being a stable batter. Cleaver has nearly 500 runs in the Super Smash over the past two seasons.
Dean Foxcroft will be looking to make a statement after a slow start. The all-rounder has 1422 runs and 23 wickets in T20s. Josh Clarkson should revolutionize the side with bat and ball. Clarkson has eight half-centuries in T20s with a highest score of 78. William Clark has not burst onto the scene just yet, but his highest T20 score with the bat is 44 not out.
Angus Schaw is the lone spin-bowling all rounder in the list. The 31-year-old is a right hand bat who bowls off spin. Schaw took two wickets in his previous innings.
Ajaz Patel should breathe fire down the necks of the opposition batters with nearly 90 T20 wickets and two four-wicket hauls. The less-experienced Jayden Lennox is another spinner looking to control the middle phase of the innings. Lennox has 52 T20 wickets with two four-wicket hauls as well.
Blair Tickner provides pace as one of the frontline seamers. West Indian Matthew Forde joins him in the seam attack. Tickner claimed one wicket and Forde claimed two wickets against the Amazon Warriors.

Opening the batting and leading the team is captain and wicketkeeper-batter Ben McDermott. The Australian star stormed to 34 runs off 19 balls against Rangpur. Jake Doran will be wanting to build on his start to the 2025 GSL with a batting average of 32.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa has felt the feeling of success for Tamil Union in his local Major Clubs T20 Tournament in Sri Lanka. The left-hander hit 138 runs in five innings. Macalister Wright will be someone the team knows can do the job with the bat.
The Australian batter has 64 runs in two innings of the tournament.
This squad features a rich contingent of all rounders. Afghan Mohammad Nabi has been a great servant to the side with 44 runs against the Riders. Odean Smith was commendable in the same match with 20 runs and a wicket. Nikhil Chaudhary should give the side a safety net of being another spin-bowling all-rounder. The young all-rounder has 386 runs and nine wickets in the BBL.
The Hurricanes used spin to win against the Rangpur Riders. Fabian Allen took two wickets and Usama Mir took three wickets. Billy Stanlake will have a point to prove after being in the wilderness without playing for his national side in a long time. The tall fast bowler has 27 wickets for Australia in T20Is.

The Stags have lost both of their games this tournament by batting second. They could very well see batting first as an alternative solution to their problems. The Hurricanes should be robust enough to win either batting or bowling first.
The Providence Stadium pitch should present something low and slow. The batters will need to be methodical in how they want to score runs. The pacers should get early assistance with the new ball, but that will quickly fade into the variations in the form of cutters and slower balls yielding better results. The spinners will feel at home in Guyana. Central Stags’ average score in their two matches is 118 runs.
You can expect the warm and quite humid temperatures to make themselves well known on matchday. The chance of rain is only at ten percent during the match.
The Hobart Hurricanes should have the ability to dust off any threats that the Central Stags may present. The Australians in the side make the side a serious contender to take this match. The New Zealanders in the Central Stags have yet to stand up for their team.
