Heat vs. Scorchers Predictions

Best Bet

The Heat weren’t able to win their first game of the season, but it wasn’t a bad effort, and we expect better from them.

It made it four consecutive losses stemming from last season, so they’re out to break the winless drought, and we never enjoy backing the Scorchers away from home.

The Heat have the likes of Colin Munro and Matthew Renshaw, who can fire up at any moment. Munro has an explosive bat, and he’s the current favourite to lead the Heat to a big score, and we’re backing him in.

There isn’t much value with the Scorchers at $1.65, so include the Heat in Big Bash picks.

Same Game Multi

Munro scored 55 runs in his first game this week, and he is set for another big total. He’s one of the best BBL players, and he should lead by example. Back him to score 20+ runs for the Heat at $1.68 odds.

We also like Renshaw to score 20+ runs. He had 18 runs in the first game, which was a solid effort, but he’s capable of much more. He’s a player worth sticking with, as he typically scores around 30-40 runs in most BBL games.

Shaheen Afridi didn’t take a wicket in his Big Bash debut, but he could strike against the Scorchers. He’s a classy bowler, and the $1.55 favourite to take two wickets.

Best Value Bet

We have spoken about how classy Munro is, and after scoring 55 runs in his first game, his confidence levels should be even higher than normal.

He’s not a player who needs to work himself into the game. He’ll be ready to fire from the first ball delivered, and he could send it for four or six runs.

Aggression often works in his favour, and he doesn’t give away his wicket cheaply. Take the $5.75 odds available with the sportsbook.
