Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HBH Team News
D’Arcy Short is on international duty, which means he will miss out on the opportunity to add to his century when these teams last met. James Faulkner and Riley Meredith are both out injured, meanwhile, leaving the Hurricanes without three of their key players. Matthew Wade’s return compensates for the loss of Short to a small extent, however.
HBH Key Players
Matthew Wade: Only D’Arcy Short scored more runs than him in last season’s Big Bash League and the wicket-keeper-batsman scored 61 in his first innings of this season’s tournament.
Qais Ahmad: Took his tenth wicket of the tournament last time out, with those figures including his 1-29 when these teams last met.
Scott Boland: Into the team with Meredith and Faulkner out, but he has taken his chance so far with six wickets in three matches.
HBH Team Form
Hobart have only won one of their last five matches, though it was against Perth Scorchers when these teams last met – D’Arcy Short’s century helping them to an eight-run win. Since then, however, they have lost to both Brisbane Heat and Sydney Thunder.
Against the Thunder, they posted 162/6 but fell to a four-wicket defeat with two balls to spare. It followed a low-scoring defeat to Brisbane Heat when, in spite of Matthew Wade hitting 61, they could only post 126/9 and then Scott Boland’s 3-16 could not prevent a five-wicket defeat.
