Preview:
Hobart has plenty of reason to celebrate, but the good times might be shortlived as they face a very dangerous Thunder side at home.
Sydney have hardly been convincing over the lsat two weeks winning only twice against the Sixers and, more importantly, against the Scorchers on Sunday. The seven-wicket victory over Perth ensured the Thunder a spot in the top five, but again, it’s hard to trust Sydney at this point.
Considering both of these sides look more pretender than contender at this point, our advice is to steer clear of the head-to-head market.
The good news is you don’t have to rewind very far to find the last match between these two sides. The Hurricanes won by 57 runs over the Thunder last week in a game dominated by Matthew Wade’s 56-run effort.
Wade now scored 50-runs or more twice against the Thunder and looks well over the odds to do so again with everything on the line.
