Pitch Report
As was seen in the previous game, the pitch is slightly on the slower side despite the par score being 160 runs at this venue. Pacers should get the ball to move around early on, keeping batters on their toes.
As the game progresses, spinners could come into play considering the shorter dimensions of the ground. Wickets in hand could be the key for both sides. The team winning the toss will likely choose to bat first.
Today’s HUR vs STR Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Ben McDermott: McDermott was brilliant in his previous game, getting the Hurricanes off to a rapid start with a well-compiled fifty. The wicketkeeper batter is likely to retain his opening slot, which should hold him in good stead ahead of this game.
Batters
Jake Weatherald: Weatherald hasn't fired for the Adelaide Strikers, which has dented their fortunes severely. The left-hander is due for a big one, and given his record against the Hurricanes, Weatherald is one to watch out for in this game.
All-rounders
D'Arcy Short: Short is one of the most consistent batters in the league. Although he is likely to bat at No.3, he provides value with both bat and ball, which makes him a must-have in your HUR vs STR Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowlers
Rashid Khan: Khan has continued to impress with the ball, taking nine wickets in the tournament this season. However, he has been expensive, something he will look to correct. Nevertheless, considering his wicket-taking ability and pinch-hitting prowess, he should be in your HUR vs STR Dream11 fantasy team.
