The Hurricanes will be looking to bounce back from a horror first match in BBL 14 when they host the Scorchers in Hobart.
Head to Head
The Scorchers have dominated this match-up and are entitled to be big favourites here, especially if they chase.
Perth have won six straight games against Hobart in Hobart and seven of the last eight overall. The only close game in those eight was the one game the Hurricanes won, which came by 8 runs in BBL 12.
The only wrinkle is the early dominance of teams batting second in BBL 14. The chasing team has won the first five games of this season, with the hapless Stars becoming the first chasing team to lose last night. The Scorchers have won 14 of 17 when chasing and the Hurricanes have won five of their last six batting second at home.
Double down on the Scorchers if they win the toss and maybe stick to player props if the Hurricanes chase.
Best Best
The young West Australian has become one of Australia’s brightest batting prospects. He’s cleared 25 runs in each of his last four innings including a 64 against the Stars in his first match of the season.
Value Bet
Richardson loves heading to Tassie, picking up six wickets in two games at Bellerive. He kicked off the new season with three poles against the Stars too.
