Big Bash League 2022-23, Match 26, Hobart Hurricanes vs Adelaide Strikers: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
Hobart Hurricanes and Adelaide Strikers are set to cross swords in Match No. 26 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 on Monday, January 2. The match will take place at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.
The Hurricanes, led by Matthew Wade, are currently languishing at the bottom of the points table with a poor net run rate of -0.957. After the Brisbane Heat beat the Sydney Sixers by 15 runs on Sunday, the Hurricanes became the new cellar dwellers of the championship.
They will go into their next match after a hefty 62-run defeat at the hands of the Sydney Thunder. The decision to field first backfired for the Hurricanes as the Thunder scored 228 for the loss of six wickets. Wade scored 67 off 30, but the Hurricanes finished with 166 in 17 overs.
The Strikers, led by Peter Siddle, on the other hand, started the tournament with three wins in a row. Once placed at the top of the table, they looked dangerous. However, a three-match losing streak has pushed them down to fourth place.
The side lost to the Melbourne Stars by eight runs in their previous game on December 31. After the Stars scored 186 for seven, the Strikers finished short despite Adam Hose's 41-ball 56. Henry Hunt also scored 49 while opening the batting but his efforts were in vain.
