Adelaide Strikers Team News & Playing 11
Jake Weatherald, Travis Head and Colin Ingram are the key figures in their batting line-up. Skipper Head 's unbeaten 85 in the semi-final against Melbourne Renegades means that he now has three big scores in his last four innings and so he will be the danger man with the bat. Ben Laughlin (16 wickets in 11 matches) and Rashid Khan (18 wickets in 11 matches) are the main weapons for the Strikers when it comes to bowling. Rashid has been the best bowler this BBL season and he will be the skipper's trump card against the Hurricanes.

Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
Matthew Wade (71) and Ben McDermott (67*) smashed twin fifties to take the Hurricanes to a match-winning total of 210 in the semi-final game against Perth Scorchers. Both these batsmen will be relied upon heavily in Sunday's big final. With the ball, it will be mainly up to Daniel Christian and Jofra Archer to do the damage. The former was the pick of the bowlers last time with figures of 4-17 while the latter is amongst the tournament's top bowlers with 15 wickets in 11 matches.

Adelaide Strikers vs Hobart Hurricanes Final Prediction
Adelaide Strikers will be all pumped up as this is going to be their maiden appearance in a BBL final. Hobart Hurricanes have once played the finals back in the 2013-14 season but could not clinch the title as they lost to Perth Scorchers. So the Hurricanes will look to rectify that this time. But they will also be aware that beating the in-form Strikers won't be an easy task. Travis Head and Co. have been unbeaten at their home ground this season which gives them a huge upper hand. They have also beaten the Hurricanes five times out of eight in the history of the tournament. Though both teams do have quality players in their side, we feel Adelaide Strikers are better placed to lift their first ever BBL trophy.
Final Verdict: Back Adelaide Strikers to beat Hobart Hurricanes at 1.83 on Unibet, 1.85 on betway, 1.90 on Bet365 and 1.91 on 10Cric.
