Best Bet

Heat @ $2.20

Bet Now

The Heat were mightily impressive when beating the Thunder, dropping just three wickets when chasing 180 runs. That was a fine effort, and they were strengthened by getting their Ashes players back, including Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne.

Having them in the team gives the Heat one of the deepest rosters in Big Bash, and it was a great performance at the first time of trying. They’re now a title threat, especially if they topple the Hurricanes on Wednesday night.

The Hurricanes are playing well, and they were unlucky to get a draw in their most recent game, which was washed out. However, they are due a loss, and the Heat are paying much better odds, which could firm close to start time.

Same Game Multi

Heat H2H, Usman Khawaja Over 24.5 Runs, Matthew Renshaw Over 21.5 Runs, Nathan Ellis 2+ Wickets @ $10.00

Khawaja made a big impression in his BBL season debut when scoring 78 runs, and we don’t see him slowing down anytime soon. He should have another big performance, so bet on him to have over 24.5 runs.

Matthew Renshaw had 42 not out last week, and he should give the Heat a good chance of winning. His consistency has been lacking this season, but with totals of 33, 41, and 42, he has been a solid BBL multi bet pick.

Nathan Ellis has been excellent for the Hurricanes, taking nine wickets in his last five games. He’s a $2.55 chance to pick up two wickets, which is a value price.

Best Value Bet

Usman Khawaja Top Heat Run Scorer @ $3.50

Bet Now

He might have just retired from test cricket, but Khawaja is still having a big impact on T20 cricket, and that was evident in his BBL season debut.

Having the class of Khawaja in the team helps the Heat, and he’s not a player who takes unneccessary risks at the start of the innings. He’s able to build a good score before targeting weaker bowlers in the middle stages.

Punters get $3.50 for Khawaja to top score for the Heat, which is good value.
