International Cricket Tips w/c 23rd Jan

Cannot find the thread for Big Bash, so posting here.

Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Sixers

Sydney Sixers have already qualified for the play-offs, have the 2nd spot assured and they cannot climb up to first or drop to third.

Hobart Hurricanes have two more games to play and are in a must-win situation in their fight for a play-of spot.
They won all their home games this season, including against the table toppers Perth Scorchers.
Adding to this their motivation to win, I'm betting on them to do it.

Hobart Hurricanes @2.21

Shocking display by the Hurricanes last night.

Melbourne Renegades vs Adelaide Strikers

Since they lost their stars, the Strikers have lost their ways too. They are on a 4-match losing streak and they must win this match to have a slim hope of qualifying to the play-offs.

The Renegades haven't blown our minds either, but they got a win here and there and that placed them mid-table with 6 wins and 7 losses, and just a win here will see them through.

Bet: Renegades @1.97

Had a poor BBL with only the Finch outright still in play but think these odds are a little long.

To make the final
Sydney Sixers/Melbourne Renegades @ 7/1

SA v England 1st ODI
In Bloemfontein tomorrow which has happy memories for Ali and Ngidi. Not being offered Ngidi at any of my books so taking the sixes line on Brooks for that innings. Have to take the little guy at 7/2.

Match wickets over 1.5
Ali @ 5/2
Match sixes over 0.5
Brook @ 19/20
Bavuma @ 7/2

i'm not 100% sure but seeing early photos from ground, boundary rope looks a little bit shorter than normal in Bloem? Will take my chances -

Over 10.5 sixes @ 5/6

SA v England 1st ODI

Innings break.
England spinners looked more effective then the quicks. SA has Shamsi and Markram. I rate this match 9/10 choice.

Win England @ 27/20

close in end but we sneaked home, got me fired up for Met day tomorrow!

Perth Scorchers vs Sydney Sixers

Qualifying Final - that is who wins goes straight to the Final and plays at home, who loses has one more chance and plays in the semifinal.

These have been the best teams this season.
Perth won the most titles, including the last two and also against Sydney Sixers.

Bet: Perth Scorchers @1.72

Melbourne Renegades vs Brisbane Heat

After Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne and Matt Renshaw dismantled Sydney Thunder on Friday night, I expect they'll give us a similar performance here, as the Renegades don't have players of such calibre, and Guptill or Sam Harper will have to do a good score to support Finch or Marsh.

Bet 1: Brisbane Heat @1.72
Bet 2: Finch 10+ runs + Khawaja 10+ runs @1.75
