Match Details:

The 5th match of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 will be played between Adelaide Strikers and Hobart Hurricanes at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

The match is scheduled to start at 08:40 AM IST (01:40 PM Local). It will be live on Sony Ten Network and can be streamed live on Sony LIV.

Preview

Adelaide Strikers will be playing the maiden game of their campaign. They are coming with a good addition of Matt Renshaw, Dan Worrall with Phil Salt, and Rashid Khan continuing to be their marquee players. The addition of the top wicket-taker, Danny Briggs from England’s T20 blast made their spin attack superior to anyone in the tournament.

However, they might experience the lack of a proper finisher down the order with a lack of options during the death overs with the ball as well. Overall, they would like to start their season with a win and grab all the important points possible as they have to wait for Alex Carey and Travis Head to be back to get back that balance in their line-up.

On the other side, Hobart Hurricanes started their campaign in style by beating the defending champions, Sydney Sixers. They possess a very good batting order with the proper finishing skills of Tim David. The experience of Colin Ingram and Peter Handscomb in the middle can outplay any opposition, especially against any spin unit. They got a pretty good pace attack which might become the difference once again for them to make it two in a row in the first two games. 

STR vs HUR Weather Report for BBL 2020-21 Match 5:

Pitch Report:

The wicket at the Bellerive Oval has been a good one to bat on since last season. It has been comfortable for the batters in the initial period of the game against the new ball. However, it slowed down as the game progressed and became hard for the chasing team. It was a fresh wicket in the first game and expected to be another belter for the batters.
