THE TEAM NEWS

ADELAIDE STRIKERS

  • Adelaide Strikers now find themselves at the foot of the Big Bash League ladder thanks to Melbourne Renegades’ win over Melbourne Stars in their most recent contest and the Strikers may find it tough to avoid the wooden spoon from this point on.
  • They have won just one of their eight games in this year’s competition after suffering a sixth straight loss last time out in their clash with Sydney Thunder and having fallen to opponents Hobart Hurricanes in three of their past four games, they have it all to do to stop the rot.

HOBART HURRICANES

  • Hobart Hurricanes were unable to make it four successive wins in the BBL as they produced an underwhelming display to go down to Brisbane Heat and they will be desperate to respond here as they aim to remain in touch with the top two.
  • The Hurricanes boast the best batsman and bowler in the tournament at the time of writing in the shape of Ben McDermott and Tom Rogers but the former’s duck played a role in his side struggling with the bat against the Heat and he will be eager to put some runs on the board in this one.

THE PREDICTION

Adelaide Strikers have it all to do if they are to remain in the Big Bash League having lost seven of their eight games so far. They have lost their last six and need to make improvements across the board if they are to end that run here against a dangerous Hobart Hurricanes outfit. The Hurricanes have some of the tournament’s best performers in their side and while consistency has been an issue for them with four wins and four losses to date, they can make it four wins from their last five by recording a fourth win in five against the Strikers.
