Best Bet

Hurricanes @ $1.67

Bet Now

Boasting four wins from their last five games, the Hurricanes look to put some space on their rivals with a win over Adelaide on Friday night.

Adelaide got back to winning form on Tuesday, and although the Strikers are a good team, the Hurricanes are one of the title favourites, and they play their best Big Bash cricket at Ninja Stadium.

We’re not surprised by the $1.67 odds available with bookmakers. The Hurricanes are the testing material, with players like Ben McDermott, Tim Ward, Mitchell Owen, and Jackson Bird, it’s not hard to see why they’re having so much success.

Same Game Multi

Hurricanes H2H, Tim Ward Over 19.5 Runs, Chris Lynn Under 23.5 Runs, Matt Short Under 24.5 Runs @ $8.75

Bet Now

Tim Ward is playing great cricket for the Hurricanes, following a 90-run performance against the Thunder. He has recent totals of 30, 27, and 90, so we’re betting on him to score over 19.5 runs.

Chris Lynn and Matt Short could struggle to get going for the Strikers. They didn’t play well on Tuesday night against the Thunder, scoring 15 and 4 runs respectively. They have had their good moments, but the Hurricanes’ bowling attack could tear through them early.

Best Value Bet

Rishad Hossain Top Bowler @ $7.00

Bet Now

There are some good bowlers on display between the Hurricanes and Strikers, but Rishard Hossain is our top pick to take the most wickets.

Hossain was economical in allowing only 29 runs from four overs against the Thunder in a high-scoring game, but he’s due a big wicket-taking performance.

The Bangladeshi bowler has class on his side, and punters get $7. That’s a value price for the leg spinner who could pick up wickets when the Strikers look to accelerate the run rate.
