THE LOWDOWN

HOBART HURRICANES

• Hobart Hurricanes picked a terrible time to fall to their first home defeat of the men’s BBL season, losing by 24 runs to Sydney Sixers on Monday, leaving play-off qualification now out of their hands.
• A better net-run-rate compared to Sydney Thunder leaves them still in with a chance of qualification, but they must win here and hope that the Thunder lose later in the day away at Melbourne Stars.

BRISBANE HEAT

• Brisbane Heat’s place in the top five is secure following a crucial, nerve-racking four-run triumph at home to Melbourne Stars which took them onto 13 points overall.
• Victory here for the Heat would secure a third-place finish for them heading into the play-offs so it goes without saying that motivation will be high.

THE PREDICTION

For Hobart Hurricanes, their season is on the line here and they cannot afford to let themselves down. They were beaten by a strong Sydney Sixers side last time out and Brisbane Heat, whilst safe in the top five are not of the same standard in comparison to the Sixers. Melbourne Stars pushed the Heat all the way and Hobart with a powerful batting line-up must be confident of putting a big score on the board should they bat first, or alternately chase down whatever Brisbane serve up for them. With the stakes high and the match taking place in Tasmania, back the Hurricanes to about just do enough to overcome Brisbane.
