AS vs HH Match Preview

Ahead of Saturday's match, their are only two points separating Perth Scorchers in third spot and Adelaide Strikers in seventh, so while Hobart Hurricanes have a three-point advantage in the table, the roles could easily be reversed quickly! The Hobart Hurricanes have an advantage at home in this game at the Bellerive Oval, but they are the only team to have won a game at home since the beginning of 2025, with the other three won by visitors and one ending in a no-result. The no-result meant that table tops Sydney Sixers and Brisbane Heat did not even get to the toss in Coffs Harbour, but it has caused the table to close even more, as the Sixers have now lost their last two games.

On paper at least, despite incurring a defeat in the previous outing, Renegades appear to be a more solid team comprised of skilled players who knows how to deal with the stress of performing in big matches, compared to Adelaide Strikers. Considering the team combination, Adelaide Strikers is expected to win this match.

The Strikers and Hurricanes seem to be following their standard template in the BBL. Both sides show promise, bring in some interesting talent but fail to find consistency. The same seems to be happening few games in now.

AS vs HH Pitch Report

Adelaide is likely to take some turn and have some good grip. It was full of uneven bounce for the Test and batting first could be a better choice.

AS vs HH Predicted Playing XI

AS Playing XI

Matthew Short, Jake Weatherald, D'Arcy Short, Ollie Pope, Alex Ross, James Bazeley, Jamie Overton, Liam Scott, Henry Thorton, Cameron Boyce, Lloyd Pope

HH Playing XI

Matthew Wade, Mitchell Owen, Shai Hope, Ben McDermott, Nikhil Chaudhary, Tim David, Chris Jordan, Nathan Ellis, Riley Meredith, Billy Stanlake, Waqar Salamkheil 

AS vs HH Key Players

Nathan Ellis

Captain Nathan Ellis fought alone in the first game. He got runs down the order to get Hobart at least above 50 but the overall performance from his teammates was pretty poor. He is leading from the front and his performances could inspire his teammates to support and build.

Henry Thornton

Thornton the all-rounder has started the tournament well. His bowling was not the greatest but his batting will definitely be something that makes the Strikers happy.

• Mitchell Owen – Mitchell Owen has served as the Hobart Hurricanes' shining light so far, scoring 111 runs to lead the team. Owen scored a brilliant century in his last match.

Top Picks – Adelaide Strikers

AS vs HH Probable Winners:

In their last five meetings with the Hobart Hurricanes, the Adelaide Strikers have lost only one game. That gives us a psychological advantage in this match. The Strikers might have had a shaky start to the season, but they have a solid and balanced team and will play at home. While the Hurricanes can surprise anyone on their day, history and current performances point to the Strikers having the advantage in this matchup. Considering the team combination, Adelaide Strikers is expected to win this match.

Adelaide Strikers are falling fast. They lost five in five and are at the bottom of the table. To their benefit though, a tight tussle in the table leaves them in the contest still and a couple of wins could bring them back into contention. Can they get those wins though? Their combination has seemed a little lacking and the struggles are evident up until now.

AS vs HH Key Players

Tahlia McGrath

Tahlia McGrath is one of the premier all-rounders in Australia but she is yet to get going in both batting and bowling.

Nicola Carey

In the first game, Nicola Carey played a role with both bat and ball. She looks a handy all-rounder, contributing fairly in both aspects and will be a key player for the Hurricanes.

AS-W vs HH-W Probable Winners:

This season, the Adelaide Strikers Women have struggled for form. The bowling attack has been ineffective, and the team will need a better performance from them in this game. The Hurricanes Women's batting lineup is in good form, and they've won their last two games by large margins, making them favorites. Considering the team combination, Hobart Hurricanes-W is expected to win this match.

Adelaide Strikers are historically a side that competes, makes noise in the tournament, and then stumbles in the back end. This season is no different with the Strikers failing to consistently put up performances that could keep them relevant.
