Tues 15 Dec 2020 @ Launceston, Tasmania<\/em><\/p>\n The Hurricanes will aim for a perfect 3-0 start to BBL10 after fairly comfortable wins over the Sixers and Strikers. In Sunday’s win over this Strikers team, D’Arcy Short returned to form after a duck in the first game. After a slow start, he belted Rashid Khan for a couple of massive sixes and top-scored with 72 in the ‘Canes 174 run total. Then, the Hurricanes turned it on with the ball as they reduced the Strikers to 6 for 49. Faulkner looks back to his best with 3 wickets and Meredith ripped through their middle order, including a brilliant soccer run-out!<\/p>\n Adelaide struggled in their first game of the season, especially with the bat. But they will get a massive boost as Alex Carey returns to the side and should strengthen up the Strikers batting lineup. We also found out Daniel Worrall can swing the bat after an entertaining 62 not out! But the Strikers will need more from the likes of Weatherald and Salt atop the order. Rashid Khan also struggled with the ball against Short, which is a key matchup.<\/p>\n While Carey is back for the Strikers, they’re still missing Travis Head and the Hurricanes have the advantage of playing on their home deck again. Their bowling lineup looks very strong and we can’t see the Strikers scoring a large enough total to trouble the home team.<\/p>\n Stadium Record<\/strong><\/p>\n The Hurricanes are 1-3 at this venue. The Strikers are 2-0 against the Hurricanes in BBL history at this venue.<\/p>\n
