Win Possibility

bbl eliminator win possibility

Sydney Thunder emerged victorious in a close fight against Melbourne Renegades recently and that must have had given them a wake-up call ahead of the knockouts. While chasing 119, Chris Green-led side lost seven wickets and somehow managed to cross the winning line. 

Meanwhile Brisbane Heat failed to chase the target of 120 runs against Hobart Hurricanes. Considering their recent performance, we will be placing out bet on Sydney Thunder.
