Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder Preview
An intriguing match will see the Hobart Hurricanes take on the Sydney Thunder this evening, with the winner at the very least consolidating second position on the ladder.
The ‘Canes enter this match off the back of a disappointing loss to the Melbourne Stars on Monday and they will be eager to bounce back into the winner’s stall, particularly in considering that they have played one more game than any other side in BBL10.
The Thunder squandered an opportunity to take an outright competition lead when they too lost to the Brisbane Heat on Monday, and that will only add to their hunger, and the overall quality of this contest.
Given the match is being played on neutral ground and I cannot split them, I’m happy to take the slightly better price on offer for the Thunder in head-to-head betting.
