Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder Preview

This should be a riveting battle between second and third on the ladder as the Hurricanes and the Thunder meet for the first time this season.

Hobart is looking to bounce-back from a narrow 10-run loss to the Stars on Monday, while the Thunder are simply hoping to extend their winning streak to six.

The ‘Canes have won eight of the 13 meetings between these two sides in the past, but it’s very difficult to feel confident in either side with the game being played on the neutral turf over in Perth.

With even money on offer, the Top Runscorer market is probably the safest play.

Alex Hales has averaged 59 runs in three games against his former side, and after huge 46-run knock against the Heat earlier in the week, he looks a great bet for a repeat performance.
