HBH vs ADS T20 Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2020
Hobart Hurricanes and Adelaide Strikers face each other for the second time in the 2020-21 Big Bash League, moving from Hobart to Launceston for their second meeting. The match takes place at the University of Tasmania Stadium on December 15 and the live action starts at 19:15 local time.
Hobart won their first meeting on Sunday, by 11 runs. D’Arcy Short top-scored with 72 in a total of 174/5 and James Faulkner’s 3-21 meant even a 61-run unbeaten last-wicket stand by Daniel Worrall and Danny Briggs could stop them recording victory. It was their second in two games so far, as Tim David scored 58 in a total of 178/8 and Faulkner’s 2-22 helped secure an opening 16-run win against Sydney Sixers.
The Strikers have only played once by contrast, and were reduced to 49/6 and then 102/9 chasing 175 to win, and Worrall’s 62* and Briggs’ 35* merely made the score respectable.

Hobart could stick with a winning line-up, with D’Arcy Short opening the batting with Will Jacks and Peter Handscomb leading the team and taking the gloves.

- James Faulkner: Back to his best so far, with two wickets in the opening game of BBL 2020 and three more last time out.
- Tim David: Started the tournament with 58 from 33 balls and then hit a useful unbeaten 21 from 13 balls in the most recent game.
HBH Team Form

Adelaide Strikers Team News & Playing 11
ADS Team News
Captained by Peter Siddle and with Harry Nielsen behind the stumps, the Strikers could stick with the same line-up as last time out – but they will expect far more up the order from the likes of Phil Salt and Jake Weatherald.
ADS Key Players
- Rashid Khan: Expensive last time out, the Afghan spinner is capable of far more than his figures of 1-38 showed off.
- Matt Renshaw: The only top-order batsman to score well last time out, hitting two sixes on his way to 33 from 27 balls.
- Daniel Worrall: His 62* from 39 balls suggested he could do a job up the order – though he is another who needs to deliver more with the ball.
ADS Team Form
Adelaide Strikers have only played once so far, losing by 11 runs to Hobart Hurricanes on Sunday. Wes Agar’s 2-28 was a largely lonely furrow as Hobart hit 174/5. A top-order collapse in reply meant it was only an unbroken 61-run last-wicket partnership between Daniel Worrall (62*) and Danny Briggs (35*) that added respect to the scoreline. The Strikers hit 163/9.
