Sydney Thunder aim to go top of the table
Sydney Thunder has a stunning record this season and have won five of their seven matches so far to climb to second position in the points table. They have 19 points and are on a roll of sorts with some pretty good wins in recent games. Sydney Thunder have odds of 1.83 to win this fixture against Hurricanes, who also boast of similar odds. The Hobart franchise also has five wins but has played an extra game compared to the Thunder.
The Stars are in pole position to thump Brisbane Heat who have once again been below par in this season. Both teams have just three wins in this season, but the Heat have played an extra game. The Stars, on the other hand, have a solid side but just haven’t been able to click in sync. Their odds of beating a rather underpar Heat outfit rest at 1.60

Overall record favours the Heats and the Hurricanes
Overall record favours the Heat who have eight wins against the Stars while losing just five. However, the table has changed slightly since 2019, with the Stars winning three of the five matches between these sides including a win the ongoing 2020/21 season. From 2016-2018, Heat won four games without a single loss against the Stars.
RECOMMENDED BET: A well-balanced Melbourne Stars have odds of 1.60 to beat the Brisbane Heat
The Hurricanes have one of the strongest bowling outfits in the competition and are hopeful of stopping the charge by the Thunder. Overall records too favour them with eight wins and five losses against Sydney Thunder over the years. They are yet to meet in the 2020/21 season, but in 2019/20, the Thunder won two games while losing one in the three head-to-head clashes.
DON’T MISS OUT… A stronger bowling outfit gives Hobart Hurricanes a slight edge against Sydney Thunder with odds of 1.83
Keep an eye on…
Glenn Maxwell: The Stars skipper is in fine form this season and has an average of 51 while scoring 255 runs in seven matches, the third highest run-scorer this season of the BBL. Maxwell is a key player in the Stars camp and will be banked upon to give them a win against the less favoured Heat.
Tanveer Sangha: The find of the season has been Sydney Thunder’s leg-spinner, Tanveer Sangha. He is an x-factor bowler and has shone in his maiden BBL season with 13 wickets so far, the second most by any bowler in the competition this season. The leg-spinner will be fancied to do the job against a solid Hurricanes middle-order.
TIP: Alex Hales has looked good for the Thunder in the last few games and has odds of 6.50 to win the Player of the Match award.
