Hobart Hurricanes vs Adelaide Strikers Big Bash League Expert Tips


Hobart are 2-0 at home so far this season while Adelaide are 1-2 on the road. They have already beaten Adelaide once this season so I am backing the Hurricanes to get the win as the favourites with their bowling attack one of the most threatening in the league.

Apart from their game 1 capitulation at the hands of the Renegades, Hobart have been one of the best teams in BBL14 dispatching of the Perth Scorchers, Strikers and most recently Sydney Sixers in their 3 wins. 

They have held their opponents to an average of 156 runs in the three wins, 2 of those games batting first. They gave up just 7 boundaries to the Sixers in their most recent win with all bowlers keeping an economy rate of 7.3 or lower.

Adelaide have been inconsistent in their 6 games played and were saved by a Chris Lynn masterclass in their most recent win. The other batsmen in the order have struggled to gain their footing and it could spell the end of their season if they once again fail against this talented bowling lineup.

Take the Hurricanes moneyline, you are paying too much on the handicap. Chris Jordan is a good pick to be the Canes best bowler on the day.

  • Hobart have restricted opponents to an average of just 12 boundaries per game at home this season.
  • The Hurricanes are 2-0 at Bellerive Oval this season. 
  • Adelaide are 1-2 on the road in BBL14.
  • Chris Jordan has taken 5 wickets in his past 2 games.

Hobart Hurricanes Form


The Hobart Hurricanes devoured the Sydney Sixers on New Year’s Day winning by 50 runs, the highest win total from a team that has batted first this season. 

Nikhil Chaudhary (42) and Ben McDermott (34) drove the run rate up from the middle order after Matthew Wade and Shai Hope fell cheaply before them. Opener Mitch Owen did enough hitting 33 off 17 balls including 4 fours and 2 sixes to the crowd’s delight.

The wickets were spread across the bowling ranks with all 6 players who bowled a ball picking up at least one for their troubles. Chris Jordan took 3 while Waqar Salamkheil and Billy Stanlake each took 2. All of the toporder wickets came at the right time to keep things ticking over for the Hurricanes, never allowing their opponent to get their eye in and dig in for a big score.

Hobart are 3-1 on the season and have played the fewest games of any team in the league. They have restricted opponents to just 12 boundaries per game at home so far this season while hitting an average 19 per game.

Adelaide Strikers Form


The Strikers season has been kept alive following a 5 wicket win over the Melbourne Renegades on Thursday night. Adelaide won the toss and sent their opponents in to bat taking the important wicket of Jake Fraser-McGurk on the 7th ball of the innings. 

Apart from the 66 from opener Josh Brown the Strikers never allowed any of the other batsmen to get going restricting their opponents to a 142 run total while taking 9 wickets. 

Chris Lynn got off to a cracking start with the bat scoring his 50 off 31 balls before getting out off a mistimed shot off Adam Zampa for 88. Fellow opener D’Arcy Short played his role spectacularly, allowing Lynn to take the strike as often as possible while hot. He finished on 27 off 20 balls, the 2nd highest score on the Strikers. They reached the Renegades total with 5 wickets in hand and 17 balls remaining.

The Strikers have played a league high 6 games but are still entrenched in 7th spot on 2 wins and 4 losses. They are hitting an average of 20.4 boundaries in their last 5 games.
