• The Strikers have struggled in each of their past three games and will be short on confidence heading into this contest.

Hobart Hurricanes vs Adelaide Strikers Match Tips

The Hobart Hurricanes have shown glimpses of becoming a title contender in the second half of the BBL season, but consistency has been absent, and this has to be rectified if they are to make significant progress. It’s worth noting, though, that two of Hobart’s three losses have come against the unbeaten Perth Scorchers, with the other coming against the Sydney Sixers, both of which have established themselves as the competition’s finest two teams thus far. In comparison, the Adelaide Strikers are a significantly lesser outfit, and the Hurricanes, with home advantage, should be able to stamp their dominance on this game early on, whether bat or ball, finally winning against a squad of form and short on confidence.
