Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HUR Team News
With Matthew Wade struggling to shake off a back injury, Hobart Hurricanes do not have a great deal of options when it comes to changing their batting line-up. Riley Meredith was unable to complete his third over on Tuesday and he is doubtful to play in this game.
HUR Key Players
- Ben McDermott - The opener has scored two unbeaten half-centuries from his last four BBL innings including making 53 not out at the Bellerive Oval on New Year’s Day.
- Tim David - The powerful bit-hitting ‘finisher’ has struggled to live up to his reputation so far in the tournament. However, with the Hurricanes desperate for a win, now is the time for him to step up.
- Nathan Ellis - The 29 year old right-arm fast medium bowler picked up the wickets of opener D’Arcy Short and number five batter Adam Hose in the last match against the Strikers in BBL 2023-24.
- Chris Jordan - The England international dismissed Alex Carey as well as hitting 30 runs on Tuesday. He has seven wickets so far in this campaign.
- Nikhil Chaudhary - Nikhil Chaudhary is having a decent season so far with both bat and ball. He has scored 127 runs at a strike rate of 149.41 and picked 4 wickets so far.
HUR Team Form
Hobart Hurricanes had found some good form in the second half of the competition but have now lost their last two matches.
Hobart Hurricanes Predicted Playing 11

Adelaide Strikers Team News & Playing 11
STR Team News
There is a feeling of momentum in the Adelaide Strikers squad at the moment and none of the players will want to be rested or left out of the team ahead of this game. Alex Carey is expected to still be available for this game before re-joining up with the Test squad.
STR Key Players
- Matthew Short - After getting a chance during the T20I series with India at the end of last year, the opener will be hoping his current form could get him into the Australia T20 World Cup squad later in 2024.
- Chris Lynn - The experienced right-handed batter hit another 37 runs with four fours and one six in the last match. He is averaging 60.80 in this campaign.
- Jamie Overton - The powerfully built fast bowler took two wickets in three balls at the Adelaide Oval in Match 31 and is playing at the top of his game at the moment.
- Cameron Boyce - The 35 year old leg-spinner will be relishing the opportunity to bowl at Hobart Hurricanes batters again in this match after taking 2/13 on Tuesday.
- D’Arcy Short - D’Arcy Short is having a good season so far as a batsman in the top-order. He is 4 runs away from reaching the 200-run mark and batting at a strike rate of 127.27.
STR Team Form
Adelaide Strikers have enjoyed wins over Perth Scorchers and Adelaide Strikers over the last week and are moving up the table.
Adelaide Strikers Predicted Playing 11
Matthew Short (c), D’Arcy Short, Chris Lynn, Alex Carey (wk), Adam Hose, Thomas Kelly, Jamie Overton, Henry Thornton, David Payne, Cameron Boyce, Lloyd Pope

Who will win Hobart Hurricanes vs Adelaide Strikers T20 Match?
Adelaide Strikers had already caught the eye with their big win over Perth Scorchers and the addition of Alex Carey to their side gave them an added boost with his wicket-keeping and batting skills. Hobart Hurricanes are struggling with some of their middle-order batters and we have the Strikers as the top team in this game.
🏆 Hobart Hurricanes vs Adelaide Strikers Prediction
The players will need no introductions when they meet again on Thursday and the Hurricanes will be desperate for a better overall batting display after they fell to 66/6 on Tuesday. Adelaide Strikers have been excellent with the bat all campaign but are now performing very well with the ball as well. With Jamie Overton and Cameron Boyce in fine form, alongside the high scoring top order batters, we predict Adelaide Strikers will win.
