In previous seasons, this has been a good batting surface with an average score of over 170. However, the earlier game of this tournament saw both teams bowled out for under 130 and we expect bowlers to be on top in this match. There will be plenty of cloud cover and high humidity from start to finish.

Top Picks – Adelaide Strikers

• Matthew Short- With 183 runs in the tournament so far, Short remains Adelaide Strikers’ most likely source of runs in this game.

HUR vs STR 26th Match Probable winners:

The Hurricanes and the Strikers both have exceptional players but have struggled to perform consistently in recent games. We think the batting line-up of the Hurricanes will be key to the result of this match. This should be a really interesting team between two sides who have underperformed over the last week. In humid and cloudy conditions, we could well see a rain-reduced fixture and we expect both sides to look to take the attack to the opposition bowlers. Overall, we think Hobart Hurricanes have the stronger batting line-up and we are backing them to win. Considering the team combination, Hobart Hurricanes is expected to win this match.
