Match Prediction

Appreciating home and some terrific finals form, The Hurricanes are about even favourites with the title being the unleashing moment of their short BBL life as well. Thunder, on the other hand, aim to extend their unbeaten streak–psychologically last few GB wins at a disadvantage and fight a tight final.

Mentality: Let’s just say Mitchell Owen is hot at the moment, so most likely he will end up being number 1.

Top bowler: Nathan Ellis might be the de facto leading wicket-taker as in the last few years has been able to bowl some great death overs.

Surface: The Hurricanes have home-field advantage and most recent match, but Thunder comes in with a higher scoring average so can still be considered as an underdog in this preview.
