HUR vs STR Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for Today's BBL Match - Dec 15th, 2020
In match 8 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2020, Hobart Hurricanes take on Adelaide Strikers at the Aurora Stadium in Launceston on Tuesday.
Hurricanes have had a strong start to their BBL campaign with two wins in as many matches so far. Riding on the exploits of their pace attack led by James Faulkner, Hurricanes managed to stifle both their opponents, Sixers and Strikers. With both D'Arcy Short and Colin Ingram in good form at the top of the order, Hurricanes look good for a deep run in the BBL.
Meanwhile, Strikers lost their BBL opener against Hurricanes on Sunday, as their top order failed against Scott Boland and Riley Meredith. Despite Daniel Worrall's fifty, Adelaide Strikers came up second best and will eye revenge against the same team, as Alex Carey is set to return to the side. With Rashid Khan and Peter Siddle also likely to be back in action, Strikers will fancy a win in this BBL fixture.
Although Hurricanes have momentum on their side, they would be wary of Strikers, who have a well-balanced roster. Nevertheless, a competitive BBL game could be expected.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Aurora Stadium is a good one to bat on despite something in it for the pacers. The track could slow down as the match progresses, so the first four overs could be crucial in the context of the BBL game.
While spinners could have a say in the outcome, 170 is expected to be a competitive score at this venue. Both teams could look to bat first, as the conditions are not expected to change much during the game.
