Hobart Hurricanes Women vs Adelaide Strikers Women, WBBL T20 2021, Today Match Prediction 13 November 2021

hbhw vs adsw Match Prediction & Analysis

40 matches are completed in the WBBL league phase and only 16 matches are remaining. All 8 teams still have a chance to qualify but few teams are lagging behind the race considerably. Hobart Hurricanes are the least favored team with their current position in the points table. They will need to win all their remaining matches and expect the other results to go in their way while a loss would end their chances for sure. Adelaide strikers are in a better position but are still outside the top-4 and will hope to breach it with a win in this match.
