Team Analysis:
The Hobart Hurricanes are going to be taking on the Adelaide Strikers in this next match as the BBL 2021-22 schedule is rejigged following COVID cases in a number of teams. We have seen some pretty impressive performances from the Hobart Hurricanes this season but they still only sit on fourth in the BBL 2021-22 standings. The Adelaide Strikers, on the other hand, have won just a single match so far and are clearly the weakest team this season.
No surprise then that the cricket betting sites are all favoring the Hobart Hurricanes.

Venue: Adelaide Oval, Adelaide, Australia
Live Streaming: Sony LIV App
TV: Sony Sports Network
Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The weather in Adelaide is expected to be excellent for cricket. Bright and sunny with no rain around. The pitch is normally very good for the batsmen. There are also a lot of sixes hit in most matches. We tend to favor the ‘Over’ in Over/Under being markets for Total Sixes, Total Fours, or even Total Runs but with the Adelaide Strikers in poor batting form, you should exercise a bit of caution.
Team Preview:
Adelaide Strikers (ADS):
The Adelaide Strikers have just not been able to make an impact this season and that has largely to do with its ineffective batting. The batting lineup is quite severely underpowered and has been unable to set or chase down any sort of respectable totals. Just four fifties total have been scored by the Adelaide Strikers this season and we think betting against anyone from their team getting to a fifty-plus total in this match is a good strategy as well. We don’t have much faith in the Adelaide Strikers batting lineup at the moment and would rather profit from betting gainst its batsmen at all possible opportunities.
The bowling lineup has done quite well, especially considering the lack of support it has got from the batsmen. Rashid Khan has the most wickets to his name, 11, same as Peter Siddle. Wes Agar has also been quite effective in most matches that he has played. Betting on both Siddle and Agar to get a wicket (available as a BetYourWay market on Betway) is a good option to consider.
Likely XI: Matt Short, Jake Weatherald, Matt Renshaw, Jonathan Wells, Thomas Kelly, Henry Hunt, Harry Nielsen, Rashid Khan, Wes Agar, Peter Siddle, Fawad Ahmed.

Hobart Hurricanes (HBH):
The Hobart Hurricanes have done quite well but they too would agree that inconsistency has been their biggest letdown this season. On paper, the batting is very strong and full of power but sometimes it has failed to live up to expectations. It is still much stronger than the Adelaide Strikers, though. Ben McDermott has scored two centuries this season and smashed 21 sixes! He is in great form but he is not the only one. Matthew Wade, Darcy Short, Tim David, and even Caleb Jewel have all made some very important contributions.
The one thing that stands out is the ability to hit sixes throughout the lineup. Bet on the Hobart Hurricanes to hit the most sixes in this match. We think that could be one of the best options for this match.
Rogers, Ellis, Meredith, and Lamichhane have all been in good form picking wickets. The bowling attack for the Hurricanes is not the strongest, however, it does have some good variation and specialists to bowl at different times of the inning. We do back them to do well against a struggling Adelaide Strikers lineup.
Likely XI: Matthew Wade, Ben McDermott, D’Arcy Short, Harry Brook, Peter Handscomb, Tim David, Jordan Thompson, Nathan Ellis, Thomas Rogers, Riley Meredith, Sandeep Lamichhane.
