ABOUT THE MATCH

Hobart Hurricanes and Adelaide Strikers are playing their first game in the BBL. Hobart Hurricanes lost all their three previous matches and hold 7th position on the points table.

Adelaide Strikers registered a 10-wicket victory against Brisbane Heat in the previous match. They are in the third position on the points table.

TOSS PREDICTION

The toss winning team will opt to bowl first and hope to restrict batsmen to a low target.

PITCH AND CONDITIONS

The Aurora Stadium in Australia is a bowling pitch, so batsmen will have to struggle to get runs there.

There are remote chances of rain and we can expect a bit of wind at Aurora stadium but the forecast seems to be okay at the match time.
