Dream11 Prediction
Although the Hobart Hurricanes still have a mathematical chance of advancing to the playoffs, the reality is that they are going to need a huge win and a dramatic improvement in the net run rate to achieve this goal. This appears to be a monumental task against a strong opposition like Adelaide Strikers. But an air of complacency might creep into the Adelaide camp and Hobart will be all over the opportunity if that happens. But all-in-all we will bet with Adelaide Strikers Women to win this game.
