Adelaide Strikers Preview: Awful campaign puts Strikers on brink
Adelaide Strikers know that defeat here would guarantee their elimination from this year’s WBBL with no chance of them making the play-offs. It’s been a season to forget for the defending champions who simply haven’t been up to standard in all departments and they face the Hurricanes at a particularly bad time.
Hobart Hurricanes preview: Lee fireworks powering Hobart
Back-to-back centuries from opener Lizelle Lee has parachuted Hobart Hurricanes to consecutive victories, taking them top of the table temporarily before Sydney Thunder’s victory over the Perth Scorchers on Friday. However, with a superior net-run-rate to the Thunder, Hobart can retake top spot with two points in Adelaide.
Adelaide Strikers Betting Analysis
It feels like somewhat of a mystery why Adelaide Strikers have struggled so badly when considering the players at their disposal, particularly on the batting side. Laura Wolvaardt for example, is one of the best in the world and finished 63 not out in their last game, also vs Hobart Hurricanes. Wolvaardt has proven herself against Hobart’s bowlers and with that in mind, back the South African to accumulate 30+ runs here.
Hobart Hurricanes Betting Analysis
When analysing Hobart Hurricanes, Lizelle Lee immediately comes to mind when taking into account her incredible recent hot-streak. The South African wicket-keeper is coming off the back of having recorded consecutive centuries, the first player to do that in back-to-back WBBL games. Her 150 not only against Perth Scorchers was backed up by 103 vs Adelaide last time out in a 28-run win. Whilst it’s risky backing her to record another big score for a third match running, Lee at least warrants a stake to score 20+ runs.
Adelaide Strikers vs Hobart Hurricanes Expert Prediction
On the back of five losses in a row, it’s hard to see where Adelaide Strikers go at this point. They are taking on a Hobart Hurricanes side just starting to potentially peak and who already defeated the Strikers comfortably in their last encounter. Therefore, any outcome here other than another victory for Hobart would be seen as a significant surprise.
