Strikers vs. Thunder Predictions

We have Strikers vs. Thunder predictions for the Big Bash game, which will be held on Tuesday, January 6 at 7:15 pm.

The Strikers have an excellent recent record against the Thunder, and that could be enough for the home side to take out the game at home.

Best Bet

Strikers @ $1.75

The Strikers have a 4-1 advantage over the Thunder in their last five meetings, and with the better recent form, they should justify favouritism.

They scored a good win last week, and although they have three losses from their last four games, the Thunder have struggled with three consecutive losses. Playing on the road doesn’t help their chances, and we thought they would be paying longer odds than $2.

Punters should expect improved performances from the likes of Matt Short, Chris Lynn, and Jason Sangha at the top of the order. They could provide a good platform for the Strikers to launch a big total, which the Thunder will find too tough to cope with.

Same Game Multi

Strikers H2H, Matt Short Over 25.5 Runs, Cameron Bancroft Under 22.5 Runs, Tabraiz Shamsi 2+ Wickets @ $9.50

Matt Short has been good at times during the Big Bash season, but the Strikers would love him to be more consistent. He is good enough to post a big total, and he could get the Strikers off to a big start on Tuesday.

Cameron Bancroft is a player we have backed consistently, but we’re going against the Thunder player here. He could struggle to get off the mark, and 22.5 runs is a sizable total.

Looking to continue from his stunning BBL debut is Tabraiz Shamsi, who took three wickets. He had an immediate impact for the Strikers, and the $2.30 to take 2+ wickets is a fair price from bookmakers. We expect his odds to be around $1.90, so snap up the value.

Best Value Bet

Tabraiz Shamsi Top Game Bowler @ $7.00

Bet Now

Punters get great value for Shamsi to be top game bowler at $7. The South African has plenty of experience playing T20 cricket, but he’s not overly known in Big Bash.

He is South Africa’s leading T20 wicket taker of all-time, and he showed his talents with three wickets in his BBL debut. That was a stunning performance, and he could be the player the Strikers need to make a finals charge.
