HBH vs ADS 47th Match Prediction

HBH vs ADS Team Previews

Hobart Hurricanes

The Hobart Hurricanes won their previous match by nine wickets and it barely looked like they were trying. Jarrod Freeman, David Moody, and Clive Rose got an opportunity to play together in this match alongside Jofra Archer and James Faulkner as the senior bowlers of the side.

Early wickets for James Faulkner and Jofra Archer made things very easy for the bowlers to follow. The two senior bowlers ensured that the opposition was completely on the backfoot and looking to consolidate its position rather than on the attack.

David Moody picked up two wickets for 27 runs in his four overs, James Faulkner had the exact same figures, while Jofra Archer gave away 28 runs for his two wickets.

This performance showed the depth that the Hobart Hurricanes squad has. We expect them to continue to rotate out a few players in every match from here on in. We don’t think the batting order is going to be meddled with unless there is some injury concern.

Darcy Short continued his complete domination of the Big Bash League by smashing his sixth fifty injust eleven innings this season. He is the highest scorer in the entire league and is playing at an unbelievable level right now.

He and Matthew Wade form the most dangerous batting partnership in the entire BBL right now. The Hurricanes have demonstrated their batting depth on multiple occasions and no can take the likes of Ben McDermott or George Bailey lightly.

Now that Caleb Jewel has started scoring runs as well, the strongest batting lineup in the competition is only getting stronger.

Adelaide Strikers

The Adelaide Strikers are staring at an exit from the BBL 08 after the group stages. There is a very slim chance of the Strikers making it to the playoffs but for that, they will have to win all their remaining matches and hope a lot of results go their way.

In all likelihood, the Adelaide Strikers are already out of the running for a playoff spot.

The formula that worked so well for them last time around seems to have gone wrong this season. The Adelaide Strikers continue to have one of the best bowling lineups in the competition but a lack of runs from their top-order has made it difficult for them to pick wickets.

Rashid Khan is the highest wicket-taker for the Adelaide Strikers but he is not as penetrative as he was. This could be a result of the players adjusting to his bowling style or just poor form on Rashid Khan’s part.

Ben Laughlin is also having a poor season after being exceptional in the last season. The presence of Billy Stanlake, Peter Siddle, and Michael Neser ensures there is always a chance for the Adelaide Strikers to win but the batsmen must do their part.

The Adelaide Strikers batsmen have been very poor. Alex Carey, Jake Weatherald, Colin Ingram, and the others have played one or two good innings but no batsman has been able to hit a sustained run of form. The loss of Travis Head to the national side has proven to be insurmountable for the Adelaide Strikers.

Jake Lehman has been given a few opportunities in this late stage of the Big Bash League but there has not been any major difference to the team’s performance. It is difficult for a side that has been knocked out of the tournament o lift itself for the last few matches.

There are some individual gains to be made but the team can often disintegrate further.
