HUR vs STR Match Preview

Match 31 of the 2023/24 Big Bash League will be played on Tuesday evening in Adelaide between the Adelaide Strikers and the Hobart Hurricanes. The Strikers have only won two games this season, but they defeated the Perth Scorchers in their most recent clash. So far, the Hurricanes lead the Strikers by one win and one point. Adelaide Strikers put on a surprising but very strong performance in their last game, and they will now look to replicate that with bat and ball in this game. With Alex Carey returning, the team should be even stronger for this game. The Hobart Hurricanes have been playing well since the Christmas season began, and they were on the verge of becoming the first team this season to defeat the Brisbane Heat in their final match. We expect them to be competitive again in this match.

Topmost Picks for HUR vs STR Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Melbourne Renegades

• Ben McDermott – The keeper-batter hit a six in his 16 runs from 18 balls against Brisbane Heat but the innings stuck out as the four others in the top five made a combined 6 runs.
• Chris Jordan – The right-arm experienced pace bowler bowled Matt Renshaw with a brilliant yorker before getting the wickets of Michael Neser and Paul Walter in the final over against Brisbane Heat.

Top Picks – Adelaide Strikers

• Matthew Short – No one has scored more runs so far in this year’s BBL and he hit seven fours and four sixes in his exceptional innings against Perth Scorchers.
• Lloyd Pope – The 24 year old leg-spinner will be looking forward to bowling at the Adelaide Oval once more after dismissing Aaron Hardie and Josh Inglis here against the Scorchers.
