Preview:
Hurricanes will take on the Strikers in the 5th match of the tournament. Strikers will be playing their first match here. They look good on papers with some strong batting attack led by Phil Salt and bowling attack led by Rashid Khan. However, the team do lack a proper finisher.
On the other hand, Hurricanes will be playing their second match here and they have defeated the defending champions Sixers in their 1st outing. Handscomb and Ingram once again will be the players to watch out for here.
Wade, Carey, Head are not available for the fixture.
