The Hurricanes and the Thunder both prepare for what could be their second-last game of their season on Friday. We take a look at Friday’s (24/1/2020) BBL Big Bash 2020 match between Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Thunder and give our tips and value tips for the match.
When: Friday, 24th January at 6:11PM
Where: Bellerive Oval
Bet: Bet On This Match HERE
Preview:
Hobart’s chances of making the finals are slim to nil, while the Thunder still stand a chance at 5-6 sitting fifth behind the Scorchers.
Sydney got the better of the ‘Canes by four wickets when these two sides met a fortnight ago at the Showgrounds, however Hobart will be feeling plenty confident with home-field advantage this time around.
The odds reflect Hobart’s advantage here and it’s certainly hard to argue with the market. The Thunder have won only two of their last five games and are also 3-4 as the away underdog this season.
Hobart, on the other hand, holds a convincing 3-1 record as the home favourite against Sydney. The ‘Canes mightn’t have much to play for, but with a chance to end the season on a high note and spoil the Thunder’s chances, take the home side.
