Adelaide Strikers Team News & Playing 11
Young Alex Carey is leading the runs charts for the Strikers (268 runs at an avg. of 53.60) and he will be the key man with the bat together with skipper Colin Ingram who scored 66 in the reverse fixture. The form of Jonathan Wells and Jake Lehmann however is a worry for the team. With the ball, it is the trio of Ben Laughlin, Michael Neser and Rashid Khan who have raised the bar this BBL. Leg-spinner Khan is currently the second-highest wicket-taker (12 wickets in 7 matches) and he is expected to do a good job the Strikers in this match.

Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
D'Arcy Short has been in sublime form this season and it will be up to him to put the Hurricanes in a strong position with the bat. The opener has been the most consistent of all the batsmen and is the tournament's leading run-getter. Middle order will rely mainly on Ben McDermott who has chipped in with handy contributions. Jofra Archer has been very exciting to watch. The fast bowler has picked up 11 wickets in 7 matches and he will be the danger man with the ball.

Adelaide Strikers vs Hobart Hurricanes Prediction
Hobart Hurricanes are in red-hot form at the moment having secured wins in their previous five matches. And the fact that they pipped Adelaide Strikers in their first encounter earlier this year will give them plenty of confidence heading into this game. However, the Strikers have the home advantage on their side and they have won five of their last six games at the Adelaide Oval. Also, they have a good recent record against the Hurricanes with four wins in the last six meetings. We feel that the strong bowling attack of the hosts will expose the over-dependence of the visitors on D'Arcy Short and therefore predict them to break the latter's winning streak.
Final Verdict: Back Adelaide Strikers to beat Hobart Hurricanes at 1.81 each on betfair and Unibet, 1.80 each on Bet365 and 10Cric and 1.75 on Betway.
