Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
D'Arcy Short, Matthew Wade and skipper George Bailey form the core of the team's batting. Short has shown exceptional form this BBL. The opening batsman is leading the runs charts and fired 122* of just 69 balls in Wednesday's reverse fixture. Leg-spinner Cameron Boyce finished with two wickets at an economy rate of 5.75 in that game and the Hurricanes will back him for another top performance with the ball. The key man however will be fast bowler Jofra Archer (9 wickets in 6 matches) who has been their most successful bowler.

Brisbane Heat Team News & Playing 11
The Heat will look to the likes of Brendon McCullum, Joe Burns and Sam Heazlett to score the big runs against the Hurricanes. Heazlett made 45 last time and the team will hope for another healthy opening partnership between him and the skipper. Mark Steketee has been the pick of their bowlers. The pacer (8 wickets in 7 matches) bagged a couple at Brisbane and the Heat will need him to take early wickets in this match. Yasir Shah remains their best bet in the spin department.
