hbhw vs bhw Match Prediction & Analysis

This game between Hobart Hurricanes and Brisbane Heat looks like a mismatch on paper. The two teams are at different ends of the spectrum on the points table.

While the Hurricanes are seventh, the Heat are the top of the table. Hobart Hurricanes were winless for as many as seven games in a row. They won their first two games but then they suddenly lost all the momentum. Whether they batted first or second, they couldn’t find a way to win. But they broke the winless against the Sydney Sixers. The bowlers set it up but the top-order almost messed it up. The middle-order came to the rescue and helped them end a winless streak.

Meanwhile, the Brisbane Heat have been the best team in this tournament so far. They lost two out of their first three games but from then on, it’s been a different story. They’ve been dominant in most of the games and have also been able to close out tight games. They have almost certain to reach the top four.
