Hobart Hurricanes are favorites to win
Hobart Hurricanes take on Brisbane Heat at the Blundstone Arena, Hobart on New Year’s Day. This is the first BBL game in 2022 with Hobart Hurricanes in 3rd place and Brisbane Heat in 5th. The Hurricanes have won four and lost three, Brisbane Heat have won two and lost five fixtures. Read on as we preview this 2021-22 BBL game. This match begins at 16:00 local time.
Hobart Hurricanes have won their last two BBL games and will be full of confidence ahead of this game in front of their home supporters.
Brisbane Heat continue to struggle in the BBL and have won only one of their last four matches. They will need to make more than the 105 all out they managed in the last game.
Seven Network and Fox Sports will show this game in Australia. In India, you can watch it on Sony Six. Sky Cricket have the rights in the UK with Willow TV showing the match in the USA. In South Africa you can watch it on SuperSport with Sky Sports showing the game in New Zealand.
BBL Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
We expect to see Brisbane Heat batting first in this game irrespective of who wins the toss. Hobart Hurricanes are very comfortable chasing a total.
The surface in Hobart will be conducive to high scores although the pitch will also offer something for the pace bowlers. We expect 190 to be a par score.
Cloudy conditions with the temperature consistently in the low 20s throughout the game in Hobart.

Matthew Wade’s side are targeting the top places in the BBL 2021-22 and are only four points behind the top 2 sides. Ben McDermott is the form player in the tournament at the moment and the team are making the most of his runs. We expect to see an unchanged XI for this match.
The Hurricanes are making the most of Ben McDermott’s hot streak with the bat and are aiming for their third successive victory.
Ben McDermott, Matthew Wade (c) (wk), D’Arcy Short, Harry Brook, Tim David, Peter Handscomb, Jordan Thompson, Nathan Ellis, Tom Rogers, Riley Meredith, Sandeep Lamichhane
Jimmy Peirson’s side came very close to recording a famous victory over Sydney Sixers in their last match and had the champions 0-2 after 7 balls of their innings. All of the Heat bowlers put in very strong performances on Wednesday and we do not expect to see any changes in their team for this match.
Brisbane Heat have struggled to string together successive good performances and are trying to prevent their third straight defeat in this match.
Chris Lynn, Max Bryant, Tom Cooper, Ben Duckett, Sam Heazlett, Jimmy Peirson (c) (wk), James Bazley, Xavier Bartlett, Mark Steketee, Matthew Kuhnemann, Mujeeb Ur Rahman
The teams are locked together on seven victories each after sixteen BBL fixtures.

Hobart Hurricanes have been in good form and are favourites for this match.
Ben McDermott has already become the first player to hit centuries in successive BBL games and all eyes will be on him to see if he can do it for a third time.
We are backing Matthew Wade, Ben McDermott and D’Arcy Short as are our batting tips for Hobart Hurricanes. McDermott has hit 353 runs from five innings so far.
Ben Duckett, Chris Lynn and Sam Heazlett are our tips for Brisbane Heat with the bat. Duckett has hit 24 fours in this BBL campaign.
For Hobart Hurricanes, Riley Meredith, Tom Rogers and Sandeep Lamichhane are our bowling tips. Meredith had a late start to the tournament but is rapidly climbing the leading wicket takers list.
For Brisbane Heat, we are recommending Mark Steketee, Mujeeb ur Rahman and James Bazley with the ball. Bazley continues to be a regular source of wickets for his side.
The first BBL game of 2022 should be enjoyable for the home supporters as Hobart Hurricanes come into the match in strong form with Brisbane Heat struggling. We are predicting more runs for Ben McDermott and a third straight victory for Hobart Hurricanes.
