Best Bet

Hurricanes @ $1.80

Bet Now

It’s never easy to bet against the Stars, but they didn’t fire against the Scorchers last week when putting only 130 runs on the board.

Despite having a good team on paper, they can come unstuck on the field, and the Hurricanes are a much safer bet. They don’t have as many stars in their lineup, but they work well as a team, and playing at home adds to their appeal.

The Hurricanes also lost their most recent game, which came against the Heat last Wednesday, but having a week off is a blessing in disguise. It gives their players time to recover during a busy BBL schedule, and they should be right to go against the Stars.

Bookmakers have them at $1.80, which is a price worth including in cricket multi bets.

Same Game Multi

Hurricanes H2H, Jake Weatherald Over 18.5 Runs, Ben McDermott Over 21.5 Runs, Marcus Stoinis Under 19.5 Runs @ $9.50

Bet Now

Our Hurricanes vs. Stars same game multi bet hinges on the Hurricanes’ stars having a big game, and we’re backing Jake Weatherald and Ben McDermott to come up trumps.

They have had good seasons for the Hurricanes, and although consistency hasn’t been easy to come by, they are batsmen their team rely on to play a steady hand. Given what’s on the line on Wednesday, they should settle in and produce the goods.

It could be harder for Marcus Stoinis, especially if the Stars bat second. He could be forced to up the run rate if the Hurricanes set 180+, and that could see him giving up his wicket, so take under 19.5 runs.

Best Value Bet

Riley Meredith Top Match Bowler @ $8.00

Bet Now

We’re picking Riley Meredith to have a big performance with the ball. He’s experienced enough to handle this pressure of bowling in the finals, and his efforts this season have been good.

He might only need a couple of wickets to be the top bowler in the game, and punters get value odds of $8, so snap up the value for the Hurricanes quick.
