Hobart Hurricanes Preview

Hobart Hurricanes have failed to register a win in the last five matches played in the Big Bash League. The side will be desperate to turn things around and register a much-needed win to improve their standings in the league table.

Hurricanes Captain Matthew Wade won the toss and opted to bowl first.  The bowlers erred in their lengths and conceded a lot of runs in the initial Powerplay overs. Clive Rose and Thomas Rogers conceded more than ten runs an over. Medium-pacer Scott Boland was the pick of the bowlers and finished with figures of 2 for 26 in his four overs.

Chasing 187 runs to win, openers Matthew Wade and Caleb Jewell perished for low scores to see Hurricanes get off to a shaky start. The biggest letdown this season has been the form of Matthew Wade, who has only scored 85 runs in 5 innings at an average of 21.85 with one half-century to his name.

Jake Doran and David Miller fought hard and put on a 43 run-partnership. David Miller found form with the bat and kept the scoring at a decent rate. Doran perished after scoring 28 runs off 31 balls with the help of two boundaries.

The return of form of David Miller turned out to be big positive for the side moving forward, as he scored 90 not out off 48 balls with the help of eight fours and five sixes against Adelaide Strikers. Left-hander found hard till the end but it wasn’t enough to see Hurricanes concede their seventh defeat of the competition.

Wicket-keeper Ben McDermott played well and scored 31 runs off 17 balls with the help of one four and two sixes.

In the bowling department, the side will be relying on the likes of Scott Boland, Clive Rose and Qais Ahmed to make crucial breakthroughs.

Medium-pacer Scott Boland has been outstanding with the ball for Hurricanes, as he claimed 10 wickets in 6 matches at an average of 23.41.

Hobart Hurricanes Predicted Playing XI:

Matthew Wade (captain), Caleb Jewell, Jake Doran, Ben McDermott (wk), David Miller, George Bailey, Clive Rose, Thomas Rogers, Nathan Ellis, Qais Ahmad, Scott Boland
