I think there will be one upset at least, that's why I'm leaving it alone. Both favourites could lose IMO.

But if you're really confident of at least one upset, then it makes sense to bet on both underdogs... 'cos it's then only a loss overall if both faves win.

Well K covid checks both matches were there was easy QR code check in must be sighted by staff at the gate. They are the first people you see then its a case of scanning your phone for the ticket in the scanners.
Masks to be worn if walking around the venue eg like going to your seat on entry and exit.
All pretty straight forward.
I found it easy.
Good to see hand sanitizer available through out both venues.
Some merchandise stands do have masks too they are the blue medical ones at marvel.

McDermott must get a chance in the national team. His striking is ridiculously clean - last night, he started in difficult conditions and thrived as wickets fell around him. He's the first player to score 3 BBL centuries and the first to score centuries in back to back innings.

Nah, I 'wasn't' real confident, that's why I didn't bet. Both faves ended up winning, but after having 10 collects in a row, I didn't want to get greedy.

Tonights a different story though 8)

I expect the Scorchers to rebound after their 1st defeat and I thought the $1.80 was overs. ca ching :D

Sixers should've lost. They were 8/47 in their chase. :shock:

HH can thank McDermott two games in a row... Gotta check his record when he was in the Oz side. I think it was poor. (But maybe most were ODI, not T20...) He or Marny or Philippe or anyone goin' okay should replace FTB. But dunno if the selectors have the guts...

D'Arcy Short's SR has declined every year. Wonder if he's past his peak now...
Brad Hodge said HH had instructed him to bat through the innings... Bad instructions...

He wasn’t opening, so his past record scarcely matters.
