Hobart Hurricanes are favourites to win
Hobart Hurricanes welcome Adelaide Strikers to the Blundstone Arena, Hobart on Monday evening. The hosts have won two and lost three of their opening five games of this season’s BBL. The Strikers currently sit in 6th position after winning one but losing four of their five matches so far. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at 18:05 local time.
Hobart Hurricanes got their first home win of the season in their last game and will be delighted to be playing at the same venue in this match. If all their top five batters can contribute again then they will be hard to beat.
The Strikers have not won for their last three games and were well beaten by Brisbane Heat last time out. However, with Rashid Khan in their side, they will always have a chance of victory.
Seven Network and Fox Sports will show this game in Australia. In India, you can watch it on Sony Six. Sky Cricket have the rights in the UK with Willow TV showing the match in the USA. In South Africa you can watch it on SuperSport with Sky Sports showing the game in New Zealand.
BBL Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
Hobart Hurricanes prefer to bat first in the BBL so we expect to see Adelaide Strikers fielding first irrespective of who wins the toss in this game.
Expect the pitch to provide some assistance for the seam and pace bowlers. A par score on this pitch should be in the region of 175-180.
Cloudy conditions with the temperature around 17 degrees throughout the game.

Young English batter Harry Brook has been in exceptional form in England over the last two seasons but he has struggled in his opening games of BBL 2021. So far, he has contributed 3 runs from three innings but with the rest of the batting line-up performing, we expect him to keep his place in an unchanged XI.
The Hurricanes had been struggling before their victory over the Stars. They have now won two of their last four games.
Matthew Wade (c) (wk), D’Arcy Short, Ben McDermott, Peter Handscomb, Tim David, Harry Brook, Jordan Thompson, Nathan Ellis, Tom Rogers, Riley Meredith, Sandeep Lamichhane
Batsmen:J Wells (VC), C Jewell, J Weatherald
All Rounder:M Short, J Thompson, D Short
Wicket Keeper:M Wade (C)
Bowler:G Garton, Rashid-Khan, T Rogers, N Ellis
The Strikers were on the receiving end of some exceptional big hitting from Ben Duckett in their last game with plenty of the bowlers recording expensive figures. However, there were some encouraging signs with the bat from Jonathan Wells, Thomas Kelly and George Garton. With no injury worries, we are predicting the same XI for this match.
The Strikers have won only one of their opening five games of the campaign and are struggling with their form.
Jake Weatherald, Matt Short, Matthew Renshaw, Jonathan Wells, Thomas Kelly, Harry Nielsen (wk), George Garton, Rashid Khan, Wes Agar, Peter Siddle (c), Fawad Ahmed
Although Adelaide Strikers have the better overall record, the Hurricanes have won two of the last three meetings

The home side are favourites to get the win in this BBL match.
Matthew Wade and Ben McDermott have both made strong starts to the campaign with the bat and are looking like one of the most exciting opening partnerships in the tournament.
We are backing Matthew Wade, Ben McDermott and D’Arcy Short as are our batting tips for Hobart Hurricanes. Wade is an exceptionally clean hitter at the top of the order.
Matthew Short, Jake Weatherald and Jonathan Wells are our tips for Adelaide Strikers with the bat. Short has been producing consistent starts in this competition.
For Hobart Hurricanes, Riley Meredith, Nathan Ellis and Tom Rogers are our bowling tips. Rogers has been in excellent form over recent games.
For Adelaide Strikers, we are recommending Rashid Khan, Wes Agar and George Garton with the ball. Although Khan has gone for runs, he is picking up wickets regularly in the BBL
The hosts will have taken a huge amount of confidence from their win over Melbourne Stars in front of their home fans in their last game and will be looking to build on that victory. We are predicting another win for the Hurricanes in a closely fought encounter in Hobart.
