TEAMS PREVIEW
Hobart Hurricanes Preview
Nathan Ellis and his men must put the disastrous loss in the last game behind them. They were bowled out for 74 runs against the Melbourne Renegades, losing the game by 6 wickets. Ellis would like to see a better show from his top and middle order in this contest and do well.
Matthew Wade and Mitchell Owen didn’t score much in the last game, and the team needs an electrifying start from the pair. Shai Hope and Ben McDermott are experienced players and will look to add runs in the middle order with Nikhil Chaudhary. Tim David, Chris Jordan, and Nathan Ellis must do a good job in the lower middle order for the team to win.
Perth Scorchers Preview
Ashton Turner and his men will be confident heading into their second game. They have started the tournament on a strong note, defeating the Melbourne Stars by 6 wickets. The bowling attack looks excellent, and Turner would like his team to continue with their good record against the Hurricanes with another win.
The team will expect a better start from Finn Allen and Keaton Jennings, as both players went out cheaply against the Stars. Cooper Connolly will be confident after his match-winning knock in the last game and shall look to add runs in the middle order with Matthew Hurst and Turner. Nick Hobson and Ashton Agar add depth to the batting.
Weather Conditions
Hobart will have clear skies on December 21. Batsmen would find the conditions challenging early in the game, where the ball does a bit. The ball will come onto the bat nicely, allowing strokeplay. The average first-innings score is 158 runs, and a score of 170 or more would be a fighting total at this venue.
HBH vs PRS Pitch Report
Bellerive Oval, Hobart, is a small venue, and the short square boundaries offer many scoring opportunities to the batsmen. The wicket offers early assistance to the fast bowlers, who have done well here. There is little on this surface for the spinners, who have gone for runs.
Toss: To Bowl
The team chasing the score has won seven out of the last eight games. The wicket is good to bat on in the second half, but bowlers have a good time on this track in the first half of the game. Hence, the side that wins the toss in this game will likely opt for bowling first.
