To add cherry on the cake, we have handpicked some really exciting yet safe bets you can place on the game.

Thunder is weak on the road

With the forty-sixth match of this edition of the BBL set to put the Perth Scorchers and the Sydney Thunder in a clash, expect a great contest at the Optus Stadium in Perth. Let’s start with a fairly reasonable bet that guarantees profitable earnings to make your weekend great. While the away team in the game, the Thunder, seemed to be the stronger of the two teams at least in the past coupl𝓰e of seasons, the Sc🎐orchers have displayed slightly better performances in this ongoing season. The head to head between the said teams, in nine matches played across all seasons, Perth have won five while the Sydney Thunder registered four wins. What I found out when I looked at the form of the two teams is that the hosts have won three out of their last five BBL games, whereas Thunder have won only two. As I dug deeper, I discovered that in the last three matches away from home the Thunder have faced defeat.

All these numbers point at the hosts, the Perth Scorchers, having the edge over the Sydney Thund🌃er. And with the odds of it ha🌊ppening placed at 1.72, I believe it’s one of the safest yet winning bets from the game.

Two low scoring teams

After starting it off with a more reasonable bet, which was relatively safer,ไ here we have soared a little higher with an almost double earning deal ♊that’s safe as well as exciting. Let’s look at the form of the hosts of this game. In the last five BBL games, they have won three contests and have scored three scores of 175 or more in them. Meanwhile, the Thunder have only scored one 160+ total in their previous five. The requirement for them to score above 334.5 in aggregate, gives us an ideal average individual total of 335/2 which is equal to 167.7.

Now, the hosts have scored 131, 86, 175, 213, 178 in their previous five BBL appearances, which gives us three scores matching the requirement. However, the away team in the game ♈have scored 122, 166, 145, 142, 168 in their last five BBL appearances, giving us only one innings fulfill🙈ing the criterion.;

Moreover, in the last five games played by 💧the Perth Scorchers, the aggregate totals were 272, 175, 273, 392, 353. The criterion was matched only once. Looking at the Thunder’s numbers -104, 294, 328, 293, 285- we understand that the criterion was matched only once. Now, it is more than clear that despite having big batsmen in their respective sides, the two teams are highly likely to score under 334.5 as aggregate. As the odds for the both the teams’ aggregate total to be under 334.5 placed at 1.83, I definitely think this is one bet you shouldn’t miss out on.

More power in Scorchers line up

Looking at the data so far, we have established that the Perth Scorchers is a more stable side and digging further into their case we have found out that they are the more breezy side as well. The hosts have hit 6.4 sixes on an average in their last five Big Bash ma﷽tches, whereas the Sydney Thunder have managed three sixes per game on an average. Also in these games, the Scorchers have hit lesser maximums than their opponents only once. But the Thunder have come short with regard to hitting sixes four times in their last five BBL appearances.

Now looking at their home form, the Scorchers have scored more sixes 💙at their home grounds in general. And only once in their last three games at home, in this season, have the Scorchers hit lesser sixes than their opponents. Meanwhile, in the same sample space, the Thunder haven’t hit more sixes than their opponents even once when playing away from home. With the likes of Mitchell Marsh, Jos Inglis, Cameron Bancroft and Liam Livingstone, the hosts are sure to fire at the Optus Stadium in Perth and are sure to go for the big ones more often than their opponents. As the odds for the Perth Scorchers to hit more sixes placed at 1.75, we believe it’s a bet that will make you enjoy the sixes 2x times and with double the excitement.
