Hobart won by 4 wickets with 3 balls remaining back on Boxing Day in Perth but it wasn’t all joy with Tim David suffering a hamstring injury. Hobart’s spin bowling was the key to victory but a different wicket will present different opportunities for both teams this time around.
Despite the injury to David, the defending Champions Hobart are still the slight favourites to take the victory on their home oval. They have won two in a row against Perth as well as 3 of the last 5. They are 2-0 in Tasmania this year and have also won both bat flips at home.
The Scorchers road averages are inflated from the massive score they put up in Brisbane last week and while they still have the roster to mount a respectable total with the bat, they have been found out a few times already this season. Their bowling attack also struggled to make early inroads in the top order last time around which could prove costly if the trend continues.
Stick with the home team and defending Champs. Hobart to win and cover the short line -1.5 wickets/-0.5 runs. Take Ben McDermott over 23.5 runs and Hobart to hit over 6.5 sixes in the match.
- Hobart have won two in a row against Perth and have won 9 straight games at Bellerive Oval.
- Ben McDermott is averaging 41.25 runs per game in 5 matches this season with a high score of 69.
- Hobart average 8.2 sixes at Bellerive Oval over their last 9 games played there.
- The Scorchers are allowing 8.4 sixes per game to their opponents.
