All Cricket Tips w/c 18th December

Big Bash League

Adelaide Strikers vs Sydney Thunder

Strikers are missing two big impact players, Travis Head and Alex Carey, both with Australia team.
Moreover, they don't have Rashid Khan for this season.

Thunder began this season with a defeat to Brisbane Heat, one excuse to that being that Heat are last year's finalists.

Difficult to bet on Strikers given that they haven't played a match yet and the absences in their team, but with the odds quite close, I'll bet on Thunder.
If they get an advantage at any time and the odds go above 2 for Adelaide, I might put something on Adelaide as well to make sure I get a profit.

Bet 1: Sydney Thunder @2.05
Bet 2: Thornton + Sangha + Agar - each to take 1+ wickets @2.40
Bet 3: Sams + Zaman Khan + Thornton - each to take 1+ wickets @2.37
Bet 4: Henry Thornton 2+ wickets @2.25
Bet 5: Tanveer Sangha 2+ wickets @2.25

Hope to get at least 3 of these bets.

SA v India 2nd ODI

Slow sticky wicket at St George's so tempted to short the 574.5 runs but feel India could post 300 plus against this second string bowling attack.

Two bowlers - Over 1.5 match wickets
K Yadav @ 12/10
Maharaj @ 14/10

Rassie has not been great recently. He has made this line in only 3 of his last 10 white ball matches so worth a nibble

Player performance
van der Dussen under 35.5 @ 17/20

Perth Scorchers vs Hobart Hurricanes

Hurricanes won the toss and elected to bat first.

I expect Perth's elite bowlers to keep them to a low total.

Bet 1: Total Runs Hurricanes Under 161.5 @1.83
Bet 2: Behrendorff + Richardson + Tye - 1+ wickets each @2.10
Bet 3: Behrendorff 2+ wickets @2.50
Bet 4: Richardson 2+ wickets @2.37
Bet 5: Scorchers win + Behrendorff 1+ wicket @1.90

Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat

Quentin de Kok returns for the Renegades.

Bet 1: Renegades @1.91
Bet 2: Total runs - Renegades over 166.5 @1.89
Bet 3: Adam Zampa over 1.5 wickets @2.25
Bet 4: Quentin de Kok over 26.5 runs @1.83
