Preview:
Round 1 comes to a close on Sunday as the Stars and the Hurricanes meet in the Latrobe Valley.
Both sides recorded opening wins on Friday to open the season 1-0, but it’s the Stars who go into this one as the odds-on favourites after beating the Heat by 22-runs.
Hobart recorded a similar victory claiming a 25-run win over the Sixers. Unfortunately, the Hurricanes have proven a difficult betting play as the away underdog – particularly against the Stars where they hold a 2-3 record.
Melbourne’s bowling attack was outstanding on the Gold Coast last week as Adam Zampa claimed three wickets and allowed only 30 runs. Not to be outdone, middle order batsman Glenn Maxwell also got his BBL09 campaign underway with a huge 83-run effort off 39 balls.
Since the Stars are a little short in the head-to-head market though, you’ll need to look elsewhere for a play. Fortunately, the stats tell us Maxwell has averaged 61 runs and a high score of 58 in seven matches against the Stars. With that in mind, it’s worth taking the Innings of Winnings market.
