Scorchers @ $1.75

The Sixers were our pick to win the Big Bash, but they might need to do it the hard way. They can lose on Tuesday and still make the final when beating the winner of Wednesday’s game, but we can’t look past the Scorchers here.

They have been the best team in the second half of the season, anchored by big performances from Mitch Marsh and Finn Allen. Their top order is extremely hard to get out, which makes them the worthy favourites at $1.75.

We’re not discounting the Sixers, who recently got a boost in the bowling ranks with Mitchell Starc. However, beating the Scorchers in Perth is almost impossible, and we can’t see the current odds lasting too much longer.

Same Game Multi

Scorchers H2H, Finn Allen Over 19.5 Runs, Mitch Marsh Over 23.5 Runs, Steve Smith Under 28.5 Runs @ $9.00

There is no reason to jump off Allen and Marsh, who have led the Scorchers to four wins from their last five games. Allen had a brilliant 100 last week, and Marsh is showing why he was an Australian international for many years.

Breaking the opening partnership is crucial to the Sixers’ success, but Allen and Marsh don’t give away their wicket easily. They like to settle in early and build an innings, and their opening partnership could be around 40-50 runs.

Steve Smith is another quality international player, and his recent form is excellent. However, the 28.5 runs line is the biggest we’ve seen all season. He could be put under pressure early, so include under 28.5 runs in your Big Bash multi picks.

Best Value Bet

Mitch Marsh Top Game Run Scorer @ $6.00

Bet Now

Marsh is having yet another brilliant BBL season, and punters get $6 for the Scorchers opening batsman to score the most runs.

There have been calls for his return to international cricket for the T20 World Cup, which is logical given his form in BBL15. He has scored some big totals, and he looks comfortable at the crease.

Take the $6 as a value bet for the experienced opener.
