Ollie Pope’s batting hasn’t been consistent this year. He has an average of 18.80 in his 5 innings and has managed to score 18 or more runs just twice in that time. As he faces a strong bowling attack, Pope could struggle to score runs.
The Bellerive Oval isn’t the easiest stadium to bat in. Only 1 of the last 5 BBL matches played here has seen an aggregate score of more than 313 runs. We are therefore unlikely to see a high-scoring game.
The Hobart Hurricanes will look to extend its winning momentum as it hosts the Adelaide Strikers for match number 24 in the ongoing Big Bash League. The two teams will clash on Sunday at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.
The two teams have played 23 matches. The Hurricanes have won 9 games while the Adelaide Strikers have won 14.
This match will be live-streamed on the Disney+ Hotstar App and Star Sports Network.
After losing their season-opener against the Renegades, Hobart Hurricanes have scripted a good turnaround and are on a 3-match winning streak.
Mitchell Owen is the team’s leading run-scorer for the season with 152 runs. He will look to give the team a strong start along with Matthew Wade. The latter however is yet to play a good knock. Ben McDermott, Shai Hope, and Nikhil Chaudhary make up for a strong middle order.
McDermott and Chaudhary put up a 70-run partnership in the previous match that played an important role in the team’s win. Coming to the bowling, while the team has an experienced seam attack, we are yet to see the best from Chris Jordan, Riley Meredith, and Nathan Ellis.
The team had opted to play with two spinners in the last match, Waqar Salamkheil and Peter Hatzoglou and they could continue with the same combination.
The Adelaide Strikers are struggling at the moment. With just 2 wins in 6 matches, the team finds itself in the bottom half of the points table.
While the team’s overall performance hasn’t been consistent, there have been flashes of brilliance from its players. Chris Lynn scored a brisk half-century in the last match and laid the foundation for a successful chase. D’Arcy Short has also been impressive in the opening slot.
The middle order consists of Alex Ross, James Bazley, Jake Weatherald, and Ollie Pope, all of whom are quality batsmen. The Adelaide Strikers also boast of a strong bowling unit. Henry Thornton is the team’s best bowler with 10 wickets. He has received good support from Jamie Overton, who has 9 against his name.
They will be supported by Brendan Doggett in the pace department. Cameron Boyce and Lloyd Pope make up the spin attack and they have picked up 12 wickets among themselves.
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
The pitch at the Bellerive Oval is balanced and provides a good contest between the bat and the ball. There is an even covering of grass on the surface and the seamers will enjoy bowling here. The new ball moves around quite a bit. As the ball gets a bit old, playing shots will get easier.
The team batting first will look to score around 175 runs. The spinners will come into play during the second half of the match.
The weather is likely to be overcast and we may see some rain throughout the day.
We are backing the Hobart Hurricanes to win this match. They have played well over the last week, winning 3 games on the trot. That said, the Adelaide Strikers are a tough opposition and will put up a good fight.
Bet on the Hobart Hurricanes to win.
