STR vs HUR T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2024
Match 31 of the 2023/24 Big Bash League brings Adelaide Strikers and Hobart Hurricanes together on Tuesday evening in Adelaide. The Strikers have won only two matches this season but beat Perth Scorchers in their last clash. The Hurricanes have one win and one point more than the Strikers so far. Read on as we preview this game. The fixture gets underway at 19:10 local time.
It was a surprise but also a very strong performance from Adelaide Strikers in their last game and they will now be looking to reach the same level with bat and ball in this game. With Alex Carey returning to the team, they should be even stronger for this fixture.
Hobart Hurricanes have been playing good cricket since the Christmas period began and they were very close to becoming the first team to defeat Brisbane Heat this season in their last match. We expect them to be competitive again in this fixture.

Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HUR Team News
After losing by only 1 run (DLS) to top of the table Brisbane Heat, Hobart Hurricanes will not be desperate to make changes to their team. However, after making a 4-ball duck in Match 29, Macalister Wright’s place is under-threat with Matthew Wade set to take his spot in the side.
HUR Key Players
- Ben McDermott - The keeper-batter hit a six in his 16 runs from 18 balls against Brisbane Heat but the innings stuck out as the four others in the top five made a combined 6 runs.
- Nikhil Chaudhary - The all-rounder’s place in the side was not secure ahead of the game against the table toppers but he responded with the wicket of opener Josh Brown and top scored with 55.
- Nathan Ellis - The skipper continued his impressive recent form by dismissing Nathan McSweeney and Sam Billings in the last game on Sunday.
- Chris Jordan - The right-arm experienced pace bowler bowled Matt Renshaw with a brilliant yorker before getting the wickets of Michael Neser and Paul Walter in the final over against Brisbane Heat.
- Caleb Jewell - Caleb Jewell has scored 147 runs so far at a strike rate of 140. We are backing him as a key player on this batting track.
