Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder Team Preview & Squads

Hobart Hurricanes

With 82 and 63 runs, respectively, Matthew Wade and Macalister Wright spearheaded the run chase as the Hurricanes defeated the Renegades by six wickets. In the subsequent game, Wright was even more outstanding, but this time it wasn’t a big inning. After Wade was out cheaply, Caleb Jewell, Wade’s opening partner, needed to stick around longer and form a relationship with Wright. And in the Stars game, it is precisely what took place.

But the middle-order fell short of expectations. With Sam Hain, Corey Anderson, and Tim David, it’s an extremely strong middle and lower order. As these three were unable to get going, Nikhil Chaudhary, a new face in the game, emerged as a finisher, scoring 32 runs off just 16 balls at number seven. 

The Hurricanes’ inconsistent bowling is the main flaw in their system. Their bowlers are having trouble consistently getting wickets. The three main pacers on this team are Chris Jordan, Nathan Ellis, and Riley Meredith. Thus yet, none of them has proven to be a trustworthy and steady wicket-taker.

Sydney Thunder

The top three batsmen in this lineup are Cameron Bancroft, Tom Kohler-Cadmore, and Alex Hales. Any bowling attack in the world should be wary of this strong batting lineup.

Hales and Kohler-Cadmore can turn the tide of the game entirely in SYT’s favor. Daniel Sams, Alex Ross, and Oliver Davies are the dependable, big-hitting batsmen in the middle order whose form is vital right now.

Right now, Thunder needs some outstanding mid-over performances from these individuals and a finish from Sams.

Chris Green is the captain of a strong team that includes some young bowlers who have the potential to win games for SYT. Nath McAndrew, Zaman Khan, and Tanveer Sangha are three of this team’s most exciting young bowlers. The bowling assault has a lot of variation, and SYT will give the hosts a serious test when it comes to the ball.
