Adelaide Strikers will be feeling pretty confident after their win against Hobart Hurricanes. They nailed a chase of 166 with four balls to spare and five wickets remaining. Captain Matthew Short once again led from the front with a fluent 45 off 32 deliveries. Short is now the leading run-getter of the season, with 396 runs in just 7 innings at an average of 66 and a strike rate of 154.
Chris Lynn has had a spectacular season as well, smashing 304 runs at a wonderful strike rate of 164. He has scored three fifties in seven innings.
Adelaide’s bowling has been led by right-arm fast bowler Jamie Overton, who has grabbed 11 wickets in 7 innings this season at an economy of 7.96. David Payne has been expensive, but he is among the team’s top wicket-takers, with 9 scalps to his name.

Hobart Hurricanes have to make the most of their last two games if they harbor any hope of qualifying to the playoff stage. With a NRR of -0.119, they would need to win their last two matches with handsome margins and hope some other results go their way to make it to the next stage.
Hobart will be hoping that Ben McDermott continues his good form. The opening batter is fresh off a sparkling unbeaten 95 off 61 balls in a losing cause against Adelaide Strikers. However, he has been a consistent performer for the team and is expected to do well in this game.
Caleb Jewell (152 runs in 8 innings at a strike rate of 137) and Macalister Wright (149 runs in 6 innings at 153) are the other two batters who have done a decent job. The middle and lower middle orders have underperformed, which has hurt the team badly.
Hobart’s bowling, too, has been nothing special. Skipper Nathan Ellis has been on point, taking 10 wickets in 8 innings at an economy of 8.36. Unfortunately, he hasn’t received much . You can, however, rely on Chris Jordan to do a decent job in the death overs.

The pitch at the Bellerive Oval has something in it for both batters and bowlers. Seam bowlers will find some lateral movement with the new ball. If batters can negate that phase, then they can cash in as the pitch tends to flatten out later.
The weather in Hobart will be sunny and pleasant.
The average score batting first at Bellerive Oval in domestic T20s is 167. The highest total posted here in the BBL is Brisbane Heat’s 212-3 versus Hobart Hurricanes in 2020. The team batting first in this game should look to set a target of around 180-190 runs.
All three matches at the Bellerive Oval this season have been won by the side chasing. Thus, the toss-winning team is likely to field first here.
Adelaide Strikers have now won four of their last five encounters against Hobart Hurricanes. Although they haven't played at their best yet this season, their team is more evenly matched than Hobart's. The Hurricanes will have to hope they fire on all cylinders in this game, because otherwise, they are looking at their third successive defeat.
Back the Adelaide Strikers to emerge victorious.
