Hurricanes v Strikers BBL betting preview & best bets | 2/1/23

The KFC Big Bash League” title=”BBL betting guide” >Big Bash League travels to Hobart with the Hurricanes hosting the Adelaide Strikers at Blundstone Arena. The last time these two sides met was the elimination match of the KFC BBL 11 where the Strikers were victorious by 22 runs at the MCG after Matt Short sent the Hurricanes into a spin with 89 runs and a wicket.

The Hobart Hurricanes will be looking to bounce back from the belting they received from the Thunder on New Years Eve in Albury, while the Strikers have the hangover of the Stoinis saga to overcome before they take on one of the form sides of the competition. A win for the Strikers will elevate them to the top of the BBL table with the Scorchers, while the Hurricanes will be looking to avoid joining the Heat on the bottom of the table.

The Hurricanes have only won the matches the have played in Tasmania this season when they beat the Renegades and Scorchers. However, the Strikers are a more versatile and adaptable side than the sides the Hurricanes have beat, and the Strikers can beat anyone in multiple ways. The visiting side is a great value bet to win this match paying $2.05 with the top betting sites.

Henry Hunt enjoyed quality time in the middle of the Adelaide Oval on New Years Eve when he struck 49 from 40 balls including five 4’s and a six. Blundstone Arena typically favours the seam bowlers, and should Hunt stay in the Strikers line up, he should enjoy the conditions expected. Hunt is a more traditional stroke maker who has the temperament for conditions that are more challenging to bat in. Should he be given time in the middle, he will be the Strikers highest run scorer at $6.50.

Wes Agar also enjoyed a day out on New Year’s Eve when he took three wickets from his four overs including the big wicket of Marcus Stoinis. Agar is a very skilled T20 bowler, but also has the power and aggression to hit the wicket hard and extract the type of natural variation that makes batting at Blundstone Arena difficult. Agar is a live chance of taking 3+ wickets for the Strikers paying $4.75.

KEY MATCH UP: TIM DAVID v RASHID KHAN

A potential match up between these two world class superstars is simply mouth-watering. Khan is one of, if not, the best bowlers in KFC BBL history. His cricket IQ, skills, and ability to execute is second to none and makes him one of the most dangerous players in the competition. David is one of the most damaging batters on his day, but his height and wingspan makes him a different challenge for Khan. Should these two meet in the middle, Khan will need to adjust to the size of David, who in turn, will need to be very cautious of Khan’s incredible skill and variations. This could be one of the best match ups of the tournament.
