Big Bash League Week 3 Predictions
—
Tuesday 26/12/23
6:05pm Sydney Sixers vs Melbourne Stars @ SCG
It has been a contrasting start for the Sixers and Stars. The Sixers are unbeaten after three games and the Stars have yet to win.
Based on that form, we’re not shocked to see the Sixers backed to win at $1.52. That’s a fair price for the much better team.
We can’t back the Stars with stolen money at the moment, so the home side should be far too good.
Betting tip: Sydney Sixers @ $1.52
9:15pm Perth Scorchers vs Melbourne Renegades @ Optus Stadium
The pre-season favourites to win Big Bash were the Perth Scorchers, who are $1.47 favourites to beat the Melbourne Renegades on Boxing Day.
The Renegades haven’t started as well as we thought they would, so we’re forced to take the Scorchers, who have two wins and a no-contest from three games.
Taking such short odds in a T20 game isn’t easy but include them in multis.
Betting tip: Perth Scorchers @ $1.47
Wednesday 27/12/23
7:15pm Brisbane Heat vs Sydney Thunder @ Gabba
The Brisbane Heat lead the competition with three win and a no-contest, so we’re happy to pick them to beat the Thunder.
Sydney comes off a win, so it’s back to its best following consecutive losses to open the season, which wasn’t ideal.
We’re surprised by the $1.77 odds for Brisbane, which has confidence on its side.
Betting tip: Brisbane Heat @ $1.77
Thursday 28/12/23
7:15pm Hobart Hurricanes vs Melbourne Stars @ Blundstone Arena
It has been a mixed start to the year for the Hobart Hurricanes, but they found form when winning last time out.
It’s a better start than what the Melbourne Stars have endured. The Stars are living up to their pre season odds, which were high.
Playing with home ground advantage is a bonus, so the Hurricanes should win.
Betting tip: Hobart Hurricanes
Friday 29/12/23
7:15pm Melbourne Renegades vs Adelaide Strikers @ Marvel Stadium
It’s not the start we expected from the Renegades, and they could be desperate for success on Friday night.
Adelaide is a tidy team, so it won’t be an easy victory, but punters could get value odds for the home side.
We expect the Renegades to score an overdue win.
Betting tip: Melbourne Renegades
Saturday 30/12/23
7:15pm Sydney Thunder vs Sydney Sixers @ Giants Stadium
The Sixers are one of the more dangerous Big Bash teams, and they’re good enough to beat their Sydney rivals.
The Thunder scored their first win in their last game, so they have momentum, but the Sixers have yet to lose, and we don’t see that changing.
Look for a price around $1.70, which is value.
Betting tip: Sydney Sixers
Sunday 31/12/23
7:15pm Adelaide Strikers vs Melbourne Stars @ Adelaide Oval
We’re trying to stay away from backing the Stars, and this game falls right into the hands of Strikers.
Adelaide needs to gain some momentum, and playing at home against the Stars is the exact recipe it needs to get traction.
Take whatever odds bookmakers offer.
Betting tip: Adelaide Strikers
