Hurricanes vs. Scorchers Predictions

Best Bet

Hurricanes @ $1.83

The Hurricanes are in full flight after three consecutive wins, and they tend to play well at this stage of the season.

They have a 3-2 advantage over the Scorchers in their last five meetings, and when the Hurricanes are playing well, they’re one of the hardest teams to beat. They use momentum and their experienced roster to win games, and they like to make it a contest.

Perth is also playing well after scoring a good win against the Thunder on Tuesday night, but backing up two days later could be too much for the Scorchers. Therefore, back the Hurricanes to hold down the fort at home in front of a big crowd.

Same Game Multi

Hurricanes H2H, Ben McDermott Over 22.5 Runs, Ashton Turner Under 18.5 Runs, Tim Ward Over 14.5 Runs @ $8.75

Ben McDermott is a reliable scorer for the Hurricanes, and if they want to beat the Scorchers, he needs to score at least 23 runs. That’s a fair line for the quality player, who could help the Hurricanes set or run down a total.

Tim Ward likes to come in after losing a couple of wickets and play a steady hand. He doesn’t always go for the big shot, and he’s exactly what the Hurricanes need to steady the ship in the middle order.

Aston Turner scored a brilliant 99 not out on Tuesday but following that up won’t be easy. We have him scoring under 18.5 runs.

Best Value Bet

Sam Fanning Top Scorchers Run Scorer @ $7.50

Our Big Bash picks have Sam Fanning scoring the most runs for the Scorchers. They could start poorly, which means players like Fanning could come in and score steady runs in the latter stages.

It’s what Turner did against the Thunder, and it could be Fanning’s turn to come to the party for the visitors.

Punters get a lovely price, so include him as a value pick.
