Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades BBL preview

A Friday night double-header of BBL13 action ends in Hobart with the Hurricanes hosting the Melbourne Renegades at Blundstone Arena. Both sides enter this match having not yet won a game this season and in desperate need of gaining some momentum this season.

Both the Hurricanes and Renegades have not suffered injuries to date this season. However, they have made changes to their starting XI already this season and more changes could be made in the quest for their first win of the season.

The Hobart Hurricanes have faced a disastrous start to their Big Bash campaign, suffering defeats in their opening two matches. Their batting woes have been evident, with the team relying heavily on late-order heroics from players like Chris Jordan to salvage innings. However, their lack of depth and quality in the batting department has been a concern, forcing even renowned finishers like Tim David to bat unusually high up the order. Nikhil Chaudhary, a promising addition to the team, showcased his capabilities with a resilient 40-run knock, signalling potential contributions in the upcoming fixtures.

Similarly, the Melbourne Renegades have struggled to find their footing, having lost two games and faced a no-result match, leaving them with a solitary point on the table. Despite a few sparks in their batting lineup, including consistent performances from Jake Fraser-McGurk and Will Sutherland, the team’s top order, led by Quinton de Kock and Joe Clarke, has yet to fire collectively. The bowling unit, spearheaded by Adam Zampa and Kane Richardson, appears promising on paper.

Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Renegades betting predictions

These two sides met on two occasions in BBL12, with the home side winning on both occasions. When the two sides met in Hobart and the Hurricanes won, Riley Meredith led the way, taking three wickets in his four overs and conceding just twelve runs. History suggests the Hurricanes should be able to win at home for the punters, with Neds offering -125 for the win.

Caleb Jewell’s one innings in Tasmania this season was a blistering 42-run dig with seven boundaries and a six coming from 24 balls. In BBL12, the left-hander averaged 44 runs per innings including innings of 54 and 70, at strike rates exceeding 150 runs per 100 balls. Expect another strong showing from Jewell, who is a great value bet to be the leading Hurricanes runscorer at +380 with top bookmakers.

Corey Anderson showcased his bowling prowess during his sole outing for the Hurricanes in Tasmania, securing two crucial wickets at the University of Tasmania Stadium in Launceston. With a wealth of experience and a diverse range of variations in his arsenal, Anderson poses a considerable challenge for batsmen, often translating into both stifled run rates and wicket-taking opportunities. Punters can find great value at +190 with PlayUp for Anderson to claim 2+ wickets in an innings.
