Hobart Hurricanes are the favourite to win this match.
Adelaide Strikers will be trying to beat Hobart Hurricanes in order to snap their losing streak of four games in a row. The Hurricanes, on the other hand, appear to be in the greatest form of the competition thus far, and a victory for them may see them advance into the top four spots. Both teams have individuals that can win matches, but Hobart’s players have been the most reliable in recent contests. We believe the Hobart Hurricanes will prevail in a close game.
