Big Bash Futures & Predictions
—
Big Bash Winner – Perth Scorchers
The Scorchers are always tough to beat in the BBL, which is why bookmakers have them favored to win at $4.50.
It’s a fair price given their impressive roster, which includes the likes of Ashton Agar, Finn Allen, Josh Inglis, Mitch Marsh, Aaron Hardie, and Ashton Turner. It’s a great lineup, and in our opinion, the best roster in the Big Bash League.
Conditions in Perth usually help them, so punters should expect them to have a good home record. That always helps for playoff positioning, and we can’t imagine the Scorchers missing out on a playoff spot.
They’re the best bet for the 2024/25 season, and they’re our clear top pick to win their sixth BBL championship.
Bet: Perth Scorchers @ $4.50
Big Bash Winner Best Value – Sydney Thunder
There is never much betting support for the Sydney Thunder, but we think they’re a great bet at the odds.
Getting $8.00 for a team like the Thunder is good shopping, and they have enough experience to make a deep playoff run. Captain David Warner brings a wealth of experience, and they also have the likes of Cameron Bancroft, Wes Agar, Kiwi Lockie Ferguson, and Nic Maddinson.
They are predominately T20 specialists, which is what you want for the Big Bash League, and we don’t think they deserve to be so far down the betting pecking order. Therefore, take the $8.00 and watch their odds drop over the first few weeks.
Bet: Sydney Thunder @ $8.00
Big Bash League Player of the Tournament – Aaron Hardie
There is good money for Aaron Hardie to win Player of the Tournament at $19.00, and punters get excellent odds in this betting market.
It’s wide open, so it’s not easy to predict, but naturally we’re backing a Scorcher to win the honour. Hardie owns 11 T20 international matches for Australia, and having that experience could be enough to see him win.
The all-rounder is the best of both worlds, which is why he’s so well-received by bookmakers. He could make a difference with the bat or the ball, and that’s why we’re picking him to have the standout tournament.
We also advise including Lockie Ferguson at $67.00. The New Zealander is good enough to have a big impact for his team, and he is going under the radar with bookmakers, so include him at massive odds for Player of the Tournament.
Bet: Aaron Hardie @ $19.00
Big Bash League Wooden Spoon – Melbourne Renegades
The Melbourne Renegades are always a good bet to finish last in the Big Bash League, and there is no reason to jump off their backs.
After many years of struggling with consistency, the Renegades haven’t been able to build any confidence, and they could endure another long year.
They have been backed into $3.90 to win the wooden spoon, so take the odds and include them in your cricket multis.
Bet: Melbourne Renegades @ $3.90
