In Match no 8, Hobart Hurricanes face off Adelaide Strikers in a reverse fixture.
Hobart Hurricanes stayed unbeaten in this tournament due to his skipper’s heroics in the last time. Their bowling unit has been very attacking. D’Arcy Short has back to his normal self, playing aggressive cricket by thrashing rashid khan in the last game.
Adelaide Strikers need to sort out their top order struggles. Except renshaw, no one in the top 7 reached double digits. Worrall and briggs put up a record 10th wkt partnership in BBL History. It maybe the motivation they’ve been looking for.
