THE LOWDOWN
ADELAIDE STRIKERS
- Adelaide Strikers will have been very disappointed to see their score of 177/6 after winning the toss and batting first against the Hurricanes this past Monday in Hobart chased down so comprehensively.
- Spin-bowler Rashid Khan has another opportunity here in front of his home crowd to become the first overseas player to reach 100 men’s BBL wickets, with just two scalps needed here for the Afghanistan international to complete the milestone.
HOBART HURRICANES
- Once again, home comforts proved crucial to the success of Hobart Hurricanes as they picked up a hugely important two points on Monday in their first of two matches this week against Adelaide Strikers.
- The Hobart batters just seen so much more comfortably batting on their home grounds in Tasmania, which is no expense when considering their knowledge of the pitches and boundary dimensions, but they won’t have that in their favour this time round.
THE PREDICTION
With this encounter taking place at Adelaide, a ground where the Strikers are obviously far more accustomed to bowling on, the home bowling will be expected to right the wrongs of Monday, which saw them taken to the cleaners by the Hobart batters in Tasmania. Adelaide will know that they are capable of a competitive score whether they are setting or chasing a target, so the onus is on their bowling unit to restrict a dangerous Hurricanes top order. However, you simply have to factor in how poorly Hobart have performed on their travels in this competition and that along makes backing Adelaide Strikers to win the sensible move.
