The bowling seems to lack some teeth while the batting hasn’t been really inspiring. Hence, they need to pull up their socks before it’s too late.

Meanwhile, in their last game, Hobart Hurricanes hunted down 159 with ease. Thus, they have the momentum on their side and they will be looking to make the most of it.

Moreover, Hobart Hurricanes are well ahead in the head to head race and they lead 10-6. Hence, Hobart Hurricanes will be the favourites and have better odds of winning this game. They are placed at the winning odds of 1.728. Meanwhile, Brisbane Heat have the winning odds of 2.132.
