Adelaide and Brisbane do battle on Wednesday night in what shapes up as the first game in the comprehensive BBL 11 midweek preview.
Our team of cricketing wizards have found all the best bets you need to be on.
brisbane heat vs. adelaide strikers
january 12th 7:15pm
One of the tightest markets from head to head perspective bears fruit when the Brisbane Heat and Adelaide Strikers duel at the Gabba on Wednesday night.
The market is having a tough one separating these teams, but it is Brisbane that takes the mantle as the favourite with BetDeluxe at $1.87.
The Heat probably deserves to be the slight favourites in this game given they sit fifth on the BBL table whereas the Strikers sit last and continue to make ends meet with the willow.
Adelaide could only manage 139 runs in its 5-wicket defeat against the Stars on Monday and the hope of making the BBL finals is pretty much all but gone.
Brisbane is on a two-game losing streak at the moment but has been on a double road trip and a return home should see them win this clash.
Suggested Bets:
Brisbane Heat head to head at $1.87
M. Bryant top Heat batsman at $4.50
sydney thunder vs. hobart hurricanes
january 13th 3:45pm
Second and fourth on the BBL table meet when the Sydney Thunder welcome the Hobart Hurricanes to Marvel Stadium on Thursday evening.
In a game that pits both teams at a neutral venue, the Thunder are fancied to get the job done as the $1.54 favourites after their comprehensive nine-wicket win over the Hurricanes on Monday.
The Thunder bowling line up restricted the Hurricanes to 139 runs and, with the help of a brilliant 80-run knock from Alex Hales, easily chased down the target.
Doubt there is anything that can really change the result of the Monday game.
Unless COVID rips through the Thunder line up and forces players out, the Thunder can consolidate their place on the top end of the table.
Suggested Bets:
Sydney Thunder head to head at $1.54
A. Hales top Thunder batsman at $3.20
Melbourne Renegades vs. Melbourne Stars
january 13th 7:35pm
The Melbourne Derby gets set for another episode when the Melbourne Renegades host the Melbourne Stars at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night.
It has been a big struggle for both teams to gain any winning momentum this season as they sit on the bottom half of the table and in dire straights with regards to their chances of making the finals.
The Renegades have been simply woeful at the best of the times with bat in hand and that horrible form reared its head again after being skittled for 105 in their 45- run loss against the Sydne Sixers.
The Stars have probably been the most disappointing of the two teams given the height of expectation on the men in green coming into BBL 11.
Sitting in seventh spot is not where they wish to be.
The gulf between them and the best in the competition was evident in their 47-run loss against Perth.
Trying to pick a winner in this game is like splitting hairs, but the Renegades have a win over the Stars this year.
Going with the home team here in a game that is a deadset flip of the coin.
Suggested Bets:
Melbourne Renegades head to head at $2.40
K. Richardson top Renegades bowler at $3.50
