Since the beginning, the markets have been in favor of the Hurricanes, and a head-to-head victory this week only strengthens their position.

They could be 1.50 at the break if they bat first.
Tops value Crawley’s top HH score of 10/3 is appealing. However, the fact that we are unsure whether he will open discourages us.

Chris Lynn has taken Matt Short’s place as Strikers’ Mr. Reliable. The 13/5 may signal a return to form for him here.
