Let us have a look at our top team betting tip from the BH vs ST match prediction.

Brisbane Heat to win this encounter

Oftentimes, we ignore the impact of historical records in order to draw conclusions of the winner. But in a tournament like BBL, where the core remains the same, head-to-head records make for a great narrative, often sticking the original idea right up there. In the history of the Big Bash League, Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat have played each other a colossal 17 times but the former have won only six games, whereas Brisbane Heat have taken the honors in 10 encounters. That is impressive, isn't it? In the last three years, Brisbane Heat have won five encounters which further underline the fact that we are better off having them as one of our primary picks. Further, the Carrara Oval in Queensland is a paradise for the home side. The Heat have won 76% of the games at the venue in the last seven years which is a fair indicator of the fact that Brisbane Heat have the upper hand in the process. Then what are you waiting for? Go to 1XBET, who have odds of 2.26 for the match to be decided in your favour in this BH vs ST encounter.

Sydney Thunder opening partnership over 20.5 runs

For everyone who made fun of Sydney Thunder in the encounter against Adelaide Strikers, in which the former were dismissed for 15 - the lowest-ever score in any format of the game in 200 years - you couldn’t have assumed them doing what they did in the last game. With Alex Hales averaging over 40 runs per innings in T20s in the last seven months and Matthew Gilkes has been on a roll of his own, there is a chance that Sydney Thunder would do the promised task. In the last three seasons, the average opening partnership for Sydney Thunder has been a stoic 29.16 with the openers striking them at 139.44. That would leave everything out there. Even if Thunder decide to open with Rilee Rossouw, we would do well to remember that the Saffer has an average of 43 in 2022 already and is very much equipped to do what wicket-keeper Gikes did. Go to 1XBET and take the bull by its horns by placing your bet on Sydney Thunder opening partnership over 20.5 runs with our affiliate partner offering odds of 1.91 for this BH vs ST encounter.

Mentioned below are our top two player betting tips from the BH vs ST match prediction. Take a look!

Alex Hales to score over 22.5 runs

59* and 68 - Alex Hales in the last two games for the Thunder have been pretty big for Sydney Thunder. His performances tell a story of how things have unfolded in the last few years. In 2022, he is on a roll of his own. Hales has an average of 30.81 and a strike rate of 147.5 in his T20 career, but what makes him such a special market for 2022 is the fact that he averaged 33.82 in 2022 at a strike rate of 157.2. To put things in perspective, he already has scored 1860 runs in 2022 alone - no one even comes close to him. With 16 fifties in 2022 already, Hales has been the shining light for the league. In Australia, he takes his game to another level and in 79 matches, he has scored 2385 runs at 32.67 with a strike rate hovering over 150. He has played 46 matches for Sydney Thunder already and in the process, managed to rack up 1502 runs and if that is not convincing enough, then I don’t know what is. His average of 37.03 in wins further validates that Hales is the best man to take us over the line as far as the market is concerned. With 1XBET offering odds of 1.832 for this BH vs ST encounter, you can take all the benefits in your favour.
