The Hobart Hurricanes are back at home to take on the Melbourne Stars in what will be a thrilling match.
Although the Stars have just come off their first win of the season, I like their chances tonight and here are the numbers behind it.
The numbers suggested that it’s dead even in head-to-head matchups at Blundstone Arena with eight games played and both sides winning four each.
However, the Stars have a 12-7 record against the Canes, and I’ll be taking them to win.
Looking at the numbers for the batsmen, I like the look of Beau Webster and Matthew Wade.
Beau Webster has shown some form in his last two games, scoring 59 and 35 with the bat and snagging a 4-Fa against the thunder on the 23rd if you don’t mind.
Webster averages 32.6 this season and I expect him to play well with the bat on junior cricket boundaries.
Matthew Wade is looking to lead by example tonight with the hopes of guiding his team to a win in front of his home fans.
The veteran hits more sixes than I’ve had hot dinners and with an average of 46.5 this season, he’s ready to entertain the crowd.
Usmana Mir and Paddy Dooley have been the star bowlers for their respective sides and the value play is there for both of them to take 1+ wicket on such a small ground.
Here’s my suggested play for tonight’s fixture!
Same Game Multi
- Melbourne Stars to Win
- Usmana Mir 1+ Wicket
- Dooley 1+ Wicket
- Wade 20+ Runs
- Webster 20+ Runs
