Best Bet

Hurricanes @ $1.56

Bet Now

We’re taking the short odds for the Hurricanes, who have an imposing BBL roster. They have a strong betting lineup with Mitch Owen, Matthew Wade, and Tim Ward, who should set a good platform at the top of the order.

They also have a good bowling attack with Billy Stanlake, Nathan Ellis, and Riley Meredith, so although the odds are on the shorter side, they should get the job done.

The home team is 2-0 so far in the Big Bash, and the Hurricanes have won their last seven home games. That’s enough to back them to win, so include the $1.56 odds in multi bets this week.

Same Game Multi

Hurricanes H2H, Mitch Owen Over 25.5 Runs, Sam Konstas Under 20.5 Runs, Ben McDermott Over 1.5 Fours @ $8.50

Mitch Owen could get off to a fast start for the Hurricanes, which is why his line is set at 25.5 runs. He’s the most stable batsmen for the home side, so look for him to produce a total of around 30-40 runs, which sets a platform for the bigger hitters down the order.

Sam Konstas could struggle to get going for the Thunder. He is a quality batsman on his day, but we’re backing him to score under 20.5 runs. It’s a big total for Konstas, who could get done by the early speed.

Ben McDermott can put runs on the board quickly, so include him to score over 1.5 fours. He loves to find the boundary, and the odds boost BBL multi odds.

Best Value Bet

Ben McDermott Top Hurricanes Run Scorer @ $4.60

Bet Now

If the Hurricanes lose a couple of early wickets, McDermott could come in and produce a stellar innings to save the day.

He has an explosive bat when he’s on form, and he is being respected in cricket betting markets at $4.60, which is a good sign.

It was a toss-up between Owen and McDermott but take the better odds for McDermott.
