The pitch at the Bellerive Oval provides plenty of assistance to the seamers, especially when the ball is new. With the batting on both sides being rather inconsistent, we expect to see plenty of wickets.
Both teams have some clean strikers of the ball, we can expect at least one high-scoring over. The venue for this match is also one of the more batting-friendly ones that we have seen this season.
D’Arcy Short and Matthew Short have been one of the most consistent opening pairs this season. On the other hand, the Hurricanes have seen a couple of poor performances from their openers.
The Hobart Hurricanes face off against the Adelaide Strikers in a must-win encounter for both teams on Thursday. The match will be played at the Bellerive Stadium in Hobart.
Both teams have faced each other in 21 matches so far. The Strikers have won 13 of those matches, while the Hobart Hurricanes have managed to win just 8.
This match can be live-streamed on the Disney+ Hotstar App or can be watched live on the Star Sports Network.
The Hurricanes have been very inconsistent this season and have managed to win just 3 of the 8 matches played so far and as a result, are 6th on the points table. With each team playing just 10 group-stage matches this season, a loss here will make qualification very difficult for the team.
The Hurricanes faced the Strikers in a reverse fixture earlier this week and were seen struggling against the new ball. The team had lost half the team with just 36 runs on the board. The likes of Tim David, Corey Anderson, and Sam Hain have failed to perform under pressure.
Ben McDermott played an excellent inning of 95 runs and will need to come up with another inspiring performance in this match. He will have the support of Caleb Jewell as his opening partner, while Macalister Wright and Nikhil Chaudhary will be the key batsmen in the middle order.
Chris Jordan is shaping up to be a reliable finisher with the bat as he has scored 118 runs at a strike rate of 166.19. He has also picked up 7 wickets and played a supporting role to Nathan Ellis, who is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 10 wickets.
Other seamers in the squad include Riley Meredith and Anderson, while Patrick Dooley will headline the spin attack.
Just like the Hobart Hurricanes, the Strikers too have struggled to perform consistently. However, a win against the Hurricanes in the reverse fixture has kept their qualification hopes alive and kicking.
The opening pair of Matthew Short and D’Arcy Short has been one of the most consistent opening pairs of this season. Matthew Short is the leading run-scorer of this season with 396 runs. He has also bowled well, picking up 4 wickets.
Chris Lynn is another consistent performer in the team and will play an important role in this game. Alex Carey, who was playing his first match of the season on Tuesday, scored 36 runs to steer his team home. However, his availability for this match isn’t yet confirmed.
The middle-order batting has been the biggest weakness of the team as the likes of Adam Hose, Harry Nielsen, and James Bazley have failed to get going. Jamie Overton and David Payne make up for a potent new-ball attack as the duo has picked up 20 wickets between them.
Cameron Boyce bowled an excellent spell in the last match and the team will need another good performance from him.
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first on this ground.
The pitch at the Bellerive Oval is well-balanced. There is plenty of help for the quicker bowlers in the first inning as the ball swings and seams around. The batsmen cannot play the big shots early on and will need to settle down first.
However, things do get easier for the team batting during the second innings. A score of around 175 is a par score. The weather will be cloudy but there is no forecast of rain.
The temperature will remain below 25 degrees Celsius.
Both teams have struggled to perform this season. However, looking at the way that the Strikers performed in the last match, we feel that they are at an advantage in this match.
Bet on the Adelaide Strikers to win.
