Who will win Hobart Hurricanes vs Adelaide Strikers, BBL 2020?
Hobart Hurricanes take on Adelaide Strikers as both teams look to recapture some form in the 2019-20 Big Bash League. The match takes place at the University of Tasmania Stadium, Launceston, on January 19 and the live action is scheduled to start at 14:45 local time.
The Hurricanes have lost their last three completed matches, having been hit hard by injuries and D’Arcy Short’s late international call-up. They sit seventh in the table with three wins from nine completed games in total.
Adelaide Strikers, meanwhile, got back to winning ways last time out after their own run of defeats. Bowled out for 110 by Brisbane Heat in their previous game, they got revenge against the same opponents at the Adelaide Oval – bowling the Heat out for 100 to set up a ten-wicket win.

Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HBH Team News
With James Faulkner and Riley Meredith injured, and D’Arcy Short away on international duty, Hobart Hurricanes have been consistent with their recent selections. Jake Doran replaced Simon Milenko last time out, while Mac Wright has come into the squad but did not feature.
HBH Key Players
Matthew Wade: Marked his return to BBL action with a half-century to remind everybody how he came to be the second-top scorer behind D’Arcy Short last season.
Qais Ahmad: The Afghan spinner has 11 wickets for the season, remaining fairly steady since his match-winning figures in the first match of the campaign.
Scott Boland: Took his eighth wicket since stepping into the team in the brief bit of play possible before the rain fell in Sydney last time out.
HBH Team Form
Rain meant only 6.4 overs were possible in Hobart’s match against Sydney Sixers last time out, with Clive Rose and Scott Boland having taken early wickets. It meant a brief bit of respite for the Hurricanes, who had lost their previous three in a row, including being bowled out for 98 chasing 176 against Perth Scorchers in the most recent of those.

Adelaide Strikers Team News & Playing 11
ADS Team News
Peter Siddle shook off a hand injury to play last time out, but Wes Agar came into the bowling attack too in place of Harry Conway. An excellent bowling performance, which also saw Liam O’Connor claim three wickets in just his second appearance of the season, means the Strikers will be keen to stick with that same line-up. Alex Carey is away on international duty, so Travis Head is currently captaining the team.
ADS Key Players
Jake Weatherald: Continued a solid return for the BBL 2019-20 season so far when he hit 33* from 27 balls in the unbroken 104-run opening stand with Phil Salt last time out.
Rashid Khan: Back to his best with the ball, as he strangled Brisbane Heat by taking 1-15 from four overs – including 16 dot balls – to move to 16 wickets for the season.
Michael Neser: Claimed 2-14 last time out and he now has six wickets in his last four matches, having previously been an unused member of the Australia test squad.
ADS Team Form
Adelaide Strikers recorded a much-needed win last time out – their second in three matches to end their bad run of form. Those two wins have been built around excellent bowling performances – dismissing Melbourne Renegades for 110 and, most recently, ripping Brisbane Heat out for just 100. In between, however, the Strikers suffered their own batting collapse and folded for 110 against the Heat.
