Hobart Hurricanes

Nathan Ellis’ team suffered heartbreak in their most recent encounter against the Brisbane Heat. They overcame a deficit to win the game of a lifetime, but they were one run shy of the goal. Ellis and his team would try to move over this setback and produce a stronger performance in this match.  

Caleb Jewell and Ben McDermott must get off to a strong start for the team. Their prospects have suffered as a result of the duo’s inconsistent play. With Macalister Wright, Sam Hain, and Corey Anderson, they have a formidable middle order, and the opposition would like to see collaborations between them. One of the top finishers is Nikhil Chaudhary, Tim David, who will try to add fast runs alongside Chris Jordan.   

Corey Anderson and Riley Meredith will try to get early wickets because their opponents haven’t played well this year. In the middle overs, the side would also like to see strong performances from Chris Jordan, Patrick Dooley, and Nathan Ellis. The attack is strengthened by the variety that Tim David and Nikhil Chaudhary bring to it.
