BBL 2020-21 is into the final stages of league phase with just 3-4 matches remaining. Sydney Thunder and Hobart Hurricanes are currently in the opposite poles of the points table with Thunder in the second position and Hurricanes in the seventh position. But Hurricanes can end up in the second position if they manage to win this match and surge up in the tightly placed points table. BBL is all set for a grand finish with only 2 points separating 5 teams in the points table. The winner of this match will gain considerable move upwards in the points table.
Sydney Thunder scored 166 runs in their 20 overs with Alex Hales and Daniel Sams making fifties in the match. They did not get the required support from the other end as the other batters ended with single digit scores. McAndrew scored a quick-fire 9-ball 17 runs to finish the match on a high.
Their bowlers were given a revised target of 132 runs in 14 overs to defend in the match. Daniel Sams and McAndrew gave runs at 10+ RPO and took 3 wickets between them. Tanveer Sangha, Adam Milne, and Ben Cutting bowled with good control and had combined bowling figures of 6-0-46-2 in the match.
Top players to bet on:
Alex Hales – Hales is continuing his superb season scoring 54 runs off 33 balls in the last game. He has 323 runs at a strike arte of 160+ this season and we expect him to continue his purple patch in this match too.
Tanveer Sangha – Sangha has impressed everyone this season and he is their best bowler so far with 16 wickets at an economy rate of 7.5 RPO. We expect him to continue his dominant bowling display in this match too.

Hobart Hurricanes struggled to build their innings as they kept losing at regular intervals from the start. D Arcy Short held one end and scored 54 runs off 47 balls while Tim David`s 23-ball 31 runs helped his team to post 139 runs on board. Ben McDermott and Dawid Malan must try to make a big score in this match after missing out last game.
Their bowlers were not match for the opposition as they lost the match by 9 wickets with 22 balls remaining. Scott Boland had decent bowling figures of 4-0-26-1 in the match. Riley Meredith, Nathan Ellis, and Sandeep Lamichchame must take more responsibility with the ball.
Top players to bet on:
Ben McDermott – McDermott has 301 runs in just 8 matches at a strike rate of 136 so far. He will look to help his team post a big score with his aggressive batting in this match.
Nathan Ellis – Ellis has 12 wickets at an economy rate of 7.3 RPO so far. He must look to take more wickets in the middle overs to never allow the opposition to gain momentum in the middle phase of the game.

Canberra is expected to have a sunny and hot climate on the match day. Rain and weather interruptions might not make their appearances in this match.
Canberra is a good pitch which has good balance between the bat and ball. We can expect scores around 160-170 runs in this match and the pitch is expected to remain the same throughout the entire duration of the match.
Chasing teams have won the last 3 matches played at this venue and we expect both captains to chase the target if the win the toss here.
Both teams have a good batting line-up but Thunder has more firepower with the big-hitters Hales, Billings, Cutting, and Daniel Sams. Hurricanes will rely on the likes of Malan, McDermott and Handscomb who are more of an accumulators than big-hitters. Thunder has also more depth in their bowling attack with all-round capabilities of Sams and Cutting whereas Hurricanes bowling attack is struggling at the moment. We expect Sydney thunder to win the match.
