Fresh off a season-saving win, the Hurricanes return home and are offered another good opportunity to keep the campaign alive when they line up opposite the Sydney Thunder. We take a look at Friday’s (24/1/2020) BBL Big Bash 2020 match which is between the Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Thunder. The Sydney Thunder go into the match as outsiders but the bookies have it as a pretty even match.
When: Friday, 24th January at 6:11PM
Where: Bellerive Oval
Bet: Bet On This Match HERE
Preview:
It’s largely been a season to forget for the Canes, but a rare win over the Melbourne Renegades on Tuesday means that they are still a mathematical chance of finishing the regular season in the top five, albeit extremely slim. Nothing short of a win here will be necessary.
The Thunder have mixed their form quite a bit since the beginning of the year and have lost two of their last three. There is no doubt that this match looms as a far better opportunity for them than their last-start hit-out in Perth, but it’s still going to be tough. I’m staying away from head-to-head betting, as a result.
