Weather
The sky will be clear in the evening, and the temperature remains in the mid-20s.

The Brisbane Heat are forced to field a side without many of their regular players, making this a challenging game to call. The Hobart Hurricanes will be missing keeper-captain Matthew Wade, who is also one of their first batters, but overall we think the Hobart Hurricanes will win this game.
