Big Bash Futures & Predictions

—

Best Bet

The Sixers are always a good Big Bash bet, and when they get their international players back from The Ashes series, that’s when they’ll kick into gear. However, they have enough depth to handle those missing players.

Captain Moises Henriques has more Big Bash experience than most players in the competition, and they have the likes of Sean Abbott, Steve Smith, Ben Dwarshuis, and Mitchell Starc. That’s a hot roster, so we’re surprised that they’re not favourites to win.

Snap up the $5.50 odds before money comes for them throughout the week.

Next Best

The Brisbane Heat play an aggressive style of T20 cricket, and they’re good enough to make a deep run in the playoffs.

Boasting a talented roster, including Usman Khawaja, Shaheen Afridi, and Marnus Labuschagne. We like their bowling attack more than anything else, and although it’s the big bats that usually come alive for Brisbane, its bowling attack could have a field day.

There isn’t much between the 10 Big Bash teams, but the Heat are the best value bet. Our cricket predictions have them making the semifinals, so getting $7 is a good price from bookmakers.

Player of the Tournament

The 31-year-old has enough experience and talent to lead the Sixers to victory, and if the Sixers play well, we have Dwarshuis winning Player of the Tournament.

He is capable with bat and ball, and he took 20 wickets from 13 matches at the international T20 level. That’s a good record to have for the Big Bash, and although his batting stats aren’t nearly as good, he can step up at the back end of the batting order.

It’s a wide-open betting market for Big Bash Player of the Tournament, so take the value with a classy player like Dwarshuis.

Top BBL Run Scorer

The Adelaide Strikers’ batsman Matt Short is our top pick to win Top Tournament Run Scorer. He has scored plenty of BBL runs, and he was named Player of the Tournament in BBL12.

He won consecutive batting titles, and we’re happy to back him to win the honour again. Short is a classy batsman, who focused solely on putting up runs, and he is being respected in betting markets.

The current favourite is Mitch Owen at $9, but with past wins on his record, Short is the way to go at $13.

Top BBL Wicket Taker

Sean Abbott might need to share wickets with teammate Ben Dwarshuis, but he could have a breakout performance for the Sixers.

Abbott has enough talent to take plenty of wickets, as he has in past Big Bash League competitions. There is nothing wrong with his form, and $17 odds are good value with cricket betting markets.

Include him in your BBL futures picks.
