The Adelaide Strikers (STR) will host the Hobart Hurricanes (HUR) at the Adelaide Oval tomorrow. Both the teams are in a spot of bother at the moment as the Strikers have 5 points while the Hurricanes have 6 points. As such, this is an extremely important game for both of them if they wish to harbour hopes of qualification. The team which wins might still not be in a comfortable position but the one that loses will surely be on the back foot.

Pitch Report

The Adelaide Oval unlike many grounds does not offer any inherent advantage for chasing or defending, as the wicket’s behavior remains consistent, leaving the outcome to be decided by pure skill and tactical means. Nor is the ground high-scoring as the surface has an equal amount of purchase in it for both skills.

The shorter square boundaries at Adelaide tempt batsmen towards the delectable allure of cross-bat shots, often sending the ball sailing over the ropes. This can potentially bring the spinners into the equation, as batsmen look to rotate strikes or launch audacious attacks through the square of the wicket.

Probable Playing XI

Perth Scorchers: Matthew Short, D’Arcy Short, Chris Lynn, Adam Hose, Thomas Kelly, Jamie Overton, Harry Nielsen, Lloyd Pope, Cameron Boyce, Henry Thornton, David Payne

Hobart Hurricanes Possible Playing XI: Caleb Jewell, Ben McDermott, Mac Wright, Sam Hain, Corey Anderson, Nikhil Chaudhary, Tim David, Chris Jordan, Patrick Dooley, Nathan Ellis, Riley Meredith
