HUR vs HEA T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2023
Hobart Hurricanes and Brisbane Heat take each other on in Match 54, the penultimate group stage game, of the 2022-23 Big Bash League. The Hurricanes come into this match in seventh place and must win to give themselves a hope of progressing to the next stage. Heat have already guaranteed their place in the play-offs. Read on as we preview this game. This match gets underway at York Park on Wednesday afternoon at 13:10 local time.
Only one week ago, the Hurricanes were well placed and looked likely to qualify for the play-offs but it now all comes down to this game and they are under pressure to beat a strong Brisbane Heat team.
Brisbane Heat are on a winning run although all of their wins have been by narrow margins. A slip in standards with either bat or ball could see them lose this game in Tasmania.

Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HUR Team News
Patrick Dooley returned to the Hurricanes’ XI for Monday’s game against Sydney Sixers and looked to have no problem with his previously injured groin. This is a must-win match for Hobart and we do not expect any players to be rested in this game.
HUR Key Players
- Tim David - The middle order batter has struck over 300 runs in BBL 2023 with a strike-rate of over 160. He is the joint leading six hitter in the competition.
- Patrick Dooley - The left-arm wrist spinner has had an extremely successful individual BBL campaign. He has a strike-rate of 11.6 and comes up against his former BBL team in this game.
- Riley Meredith - The fast bowler has reached 20 wickets in a BBL campaign for the first time and will enjoy bowling on this surface where he took two wickets earlier in the tournament.
Hobart Hurricanes come into this match after hitting a run of bad form at the wrong time. They have lost three BBL games in a row.

Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11
HEA Team News
Although Brisbane Heat have already confirmed their place in the play-offs, it is highly unlikely that they will rest their Test players as they will be forced to miss the final play-off games ahead of the tour to India. As a result, we expect Brisbane Heat to select their strongest team and focus on keeping up their winning run for this match.
HEA Key Players
- Matt Renshaw - If it hadn’t been for his innings against Melbourne Stars and the first game with Hobart Hurricanes, Heat could well have been eliminated. He has had an excellent second half of BBL12.
- Sam Hain - The 27 year old English middle order batter only came into the Heat side on January 14th. He has hit scores of 33 not out and 77 not out in his last two innings.
- Michael Neser - The fast medium bowling all-rounder has been Brisbane Heat’s key bowler in this campaign and should enjoy the conditions at this venue.
Some teams time their winning run to perfection and Brisbane Heat have certainly done this. They have won their last four matches to secure their place in the next stage.

This could be a very entertaining clash as, even though Brisbane Heat have won four in a row and Hobart Hurricanes have lost three in a row, a few runs for the opposition sides could have completely changed the results for both teams. Brisbane Heat are into the play-offs already and will play with freedom whereas the Hurricanes will be striving to get the win in front of their home fans. We expect a close game but are backing the Hurricanes to end their group stage with a victory.
