Best Bet

There is good value with the Thunder against the Hurricanes. We were keen on the Hurricanes earlier this week as favourites, but they didn’t deliver, and now they could struggle to get back to winning form.

Despite losing their last two games, there is good value with the Thunder. They have experienced players who have yet to fire, but it’s only a matter of time before the likes of David Warner and Cameron Bancroft get firing.

The Thunder opened at $2.15 before drifting to $2.25, which is good news for BBL punters. We see this game being a coin flip, and it won’t take much for the Thunder to improve their form and score an overdue win.

Same Game Multi

Punters should expect big things from David Warner and Cameron Bancroft. Warner had 25 runs in his last game, which is encouraging, and he’s capable of so much more. Back him to score over 25.5 runs on Saturday.

Bancroft hasn’t had a good recent run, scoring just 19 runs in his last three games. However, he’s all class, and the 19.5-run line is in punters’ favour.

Conversely, Ben McDermott has had some good moments for the Hurricanes. He scored 49 runs four back ago, but his recent form hasn’t been nearly as impressive.

Best Value Bet

Stacks of money have come for former international cricket legend Warner, who is due a big innings for the Thunder.

He’s too good to top score with only 25 runs this season, and we expect him to score between 50-70 runs at some point. He gets a good chance against the Hurricanes, so include the odds in Big Bash picks.
