Preview:
Brisbane continues to flounder sitting second last in the standings behind a 1-3 record, while the Hurricanes could potentially move inside the top four with another victory at home.
The Heat have easily been the most disappointing side in the competition after so much preseason hype. The batting order continues to fall apart behind Chris Lynn, but for whatever reason, the bookies continue to overvalue Brisbane in the market.
Hobart opened its home account with a convincing seven-wicket victory over the Renegades on Christmas Eve while the ‘Canes have also won four straight matches against Brisbane dating back to 2018.
Neither of these two sides have been particularly convincing with the bat, however I am confident Hobart’s bowling can do the talking. Riley Meredith and James Faulkner both rank Top 10 in wickets taken so far, making the Hurricanes great value at their current quote.

Tip: Brisbane Heat $1.79
