He has batter has been the frontrunner in terms of most runs for the Strikers in BBL 11 (409) at an average of 34.08 and striking over 120, with 3 fifties to his name. Wells has been the fulcrum in their team’s wins this season, thereby making him a must pick as a captain or vice-captain in the fantasy line-up. 

Peter Siddle Stats in T20

He’s been way too consistent in picking scalps for the Strikers – both in the powerplay and in death overs – in the ongoing edition of BBL 11. In 14 matches, Siddle has picked 23 wickets at an average of 18.73 and an economy of 8.26. With the Hurricanes’ struggling a bit with their batting, the right-arm pacer could prove quite lethal in the forthcoming matchup.

Matthew Wade
D Arcy Short
Jordan Thompson
Tim David
Peter Handscomb
Josh Kann
Thomas Rogers
Riley Meredith
Will Parker

• Will Parker is likely to make the playing 11 as a replacement for Lamichhane.

Ben McDermott Stats in T20

The leading run-getter in BBL 11, Ben McDermott, would be aiming for another rip-roaring exhibition in the Eliminator. The opening batter has amassed 571 runs in 12 innings while averaging over 50 and striking in excess of 150, which include 2 hundreds and 3 fifties. 

Matthew Wade Stats in T20

It’s a must-win scenario and what better stage to perform than the Eliminator for the veteran T20 cricketer. Wade, who averages almost 60 against the Strikers with a hundred and 2 fifties, all while maintaining a strike rate over 150, makes a feasible pick as a captain or vice captain for this match. 

Who will win STR vs HUR today match?

Adelaide Strikers look pretty settled in terms of the batting and bowling depth that they have to offer in the Eliminator. The return of Alex Carey and Travis Head into the Strikers makes them far competent to tackle the Hurricanes’ bowling attack, plus, they possess the services of an in-form pace duo of Peter Siddle and  Henry Thornton and leg-spinner Fawad Ahmed, who could trouble the Hurricanes’ batters at regular stages of the contest. As per STR vs HUR today match prediction and Adelaide Strikers vs Hobart Hurricanes cricket betting tips, Adelaide Strikers are favourites to win the Eliminator.
