With 14 matches now in the books, the Big Bash League regular has come to a conclusion, and what a season we have had so far. There has been drama aplenty, more than enough surprises and just the right amount of upsets to ensure followers were kept on the edge of their seats as we reached the home straight. We’re now at the business end of the competition. So, check out our Feb 14-15 Big Bash League betting tips and odds.

Hobart Hurricanes finished top of the tree on 20 points, deserving victors with a record of 10 wins against four defeats. That left them four ahead of runners up Melbourne Renegades (8-6-0), who finished level with Sydney Sixers in third, an 0.173 run rate for Melbourne edging them in front of Sydney’s 0.047. Fourth-placed Melbourne Stars certainly did things the hard way but an even split of seven wins against as many losses ensured they beat Brisbane Heat by a point.

At the other end of the table and the drama didn’t exactly filter down the pecking order with Sydney Thunder (6-7-0), Adelaide Strikers (6-8-0) and Perth Scorchers (4-10-0) doing as expected and filling the basement spots, Scorchers a full four points behind their nearest rivals. A season to forget for each of the trio, of that there can be little doubt.

Final Day Drama

Game 14 brought the curtain down in style with fans glued to the coverage until the last ball. Brisbane Heat went into the weekend with everything to play for and picked up a stunning win over rivals Melbourne Stars on Friday, winning by 10 wickets, the scoreboard reading Heat 158-0 (10.0) against Stars 156-8 (20.0). Great, but there was to be one final twist in the tail.

Sydney Thunder beat Hobart Hurricanes by four wickets in a real shock on Saturday, before Adelaide Strikers did as expected when downing struggling Perth Scorchers by five wickets later that day. The real drama came on Sunday when we sat back to enjoy a final throw of the dice from Melbourne Stars who needed a performance to make the top-four.

They did it, against the expectations of many, when sneaking through to the semi-final with a jaw-dropping 94-run win over Sydney Sixers, 168-6 (20.0) smashing a paltry 74 all out (13.4). It was like Sixers weren’t trying; however, their opponents didn’t give it a second thought, more than happy to take the gift and book an extended season for themselves and their hardy band of followers. Will they have enough about them to do it again, or will they prove a side in over their head when luck abandons them? It’ll be great fun finding out.
