Adelaide Strikers vs Hobart Hurricanes BBL13 preview

Match 31 of Big Bash League 13 will take place in Adelaide, with the Strikers hosting the Hobart Hurricanes at the Adelaide Oval.

The Hobart Hurricanes‘ issues with winning outside of Tasmania continue, having suffered a final-ball, one-run loss to the Heat in Brisbane on Monday night.

Matthew Wade is still absent from the side, while international players Sam Hain and Corey Anderson struggle to find form. Meanwhile, Brisbane Grade Cricket product Nikhil Chaudhary continues to impress with bat and ball in hand.

On the other hand, the Adelaide Strikers have lost five games in a row, with two of those matches being on their home ground, after their match against the Heat at Adelaide Oval was washed out a month ago. Captain Matt Short and Chris Lynn have been in brilliant form with the bat; however, the fast bowling department is letting them down.

Adelaide Strikers vs Hobart Hurricanes betting predictions

The Strikers’ form of late has been so poor that they’re hardly a safe bet, even on their home ground. Meanwhile, before their loss to the Heat, the Hurricanes had won their two previous games, including a win over the Renegades at Marvel Stadium. The underdogs in betting have also won the last four matches held between the Strikers and Hurricanes. The value bet in this match is on the Hurricanes, who are at +100 odds with top cricket bookmakers to win.

Riley Meredith bowled incredibly well in Brisbane against the Heat without taking a wicket, bowling his four overs and conceding just 15 runs. Adelaide Oval is another ground with pace and bounce that can assist the fast bowlers in taking wickets. In his last four matches for the Hurricanes as underdogs against the Strikers, Meredith has taken 2+ wickets on each occasion. +105 is a safe bet at Dabble for Meredith to claim 2+ wickets against the Strikers on Tuesday.

Despite captaining a struggling side, Matt Short’s form with the bat has been arguably the best in the competition. In five of his last six BBL matches, the opener has scored 50+ runs in those innings, leading the side with his experience. At his home ground, Short is a great value bet to score 50+ runs again at +225 with the top Australian betting sites.
