Hobart Hurricanes Academy beat Australian Capital Territory by 7 wickets
Hobart Hurricanes Academy's poor run of form in the tournament continues after suffering a narrow five-run defeat in Darwin. This fourth consecutive loss keeps the Hurricanes winless after four matches in the competition.
Opting to bowl first, the Hurricanes bowlers found it difficult to contain the opposition's top order, allowing 182/2 in 20 overs. All-rounder Nivethan Radhakrishnan was the standout performer with tight bowling, claiming 1 for 23 from his four overs, while captain Gabe Bell took the other wicket. The rest of the attack leaked runs and failed to create regular chances.
Chasing 183 for victory, the Hurricanes batting unit displayed solid fight through key middle-order partnerships. Teague Wyllie top-scored with a brisk 32, well supported by Nitesh Samuel and Radhakrishnan, who contributed 29 runs each. Quick late cameos from Caelan Maladay and Raf MacMillan kept hopes alive, but the team ultimately fell agonizingly short on 177/8.

Australian Capital Territory suffered a four-wicket defeat in Darwin, remaining winless after four consecutive losses this season. With this result, ACT are officially eliminated from tournament contention, leaving two remaining matches to salvage pride and finish their campaign on a high note.
Batting first, ACT struggled to build steady partnerships against tight bowling. Dylan Hunter led the batting effort with a fighting 44 off 35 deliveries, hitting four boundaries and one six. Captain Nic Broes and opener Ansh Tiwary contributed 19 runs each, but regular middle-order dismissals restricted the team to 140/9 in 20 overs.
Defending 141, ACT mounted a spirited fightback. Zak Keogh produced a standout all-round performance, taking 3 wickets for 20 runs alongside a sharp run-out. Jeet Mehta supported well with two scalps, while Dylan Hunter bowled economically. Despite their determined bowling effort, ACT fell agonizingly short with four balls to spare.

Darwin experiences a clear weather on Friday, with comfortable temperatures around 24°C. With zero precipitation, high humidity at 71%, and gentle winds blowing at just 5 km/h, the city enjoyed calm, pleasant, and dry conditions throughout the day.
The pitch at Marrara Cricket Ground, Darwin offers a balanced track that favours both the batters and bowlers, where the average 1st innings score is 148 runs and it drops down to 135 runs while chasing. Expect another moderate scoring match, where a score of around 160 is going to be par.
Teams bowling first won 16 of the 27 T20 matches played at Marrara Cricket Ground, Darwin and we predict the team that wins the toss will ideally look to bowl first in this fixture.
Toss Prediction: Hobart Hurricanes Academy to win the coin toss
Both teams are winless in the tournament so far and either one of them will get their first win of the season in this fixture. Hobart's most matches have gone down the wire and lost by small margins, they look a much better side than ACT and we back them to get over the line in this match.
