Even though they’ve not got the worst team in the Big Bash League 2021/22, Adelaide Strikers has been among the worst teams this season, if not the worst outright. They’ve got only 1 win in their 8 games in BBL 11 so far and they’ll really need to step up if they are to win out here at their home ground. I don’t know how easy that will be considering they’ve lost all of their last 6 games this season.
On the other hand is Hobart Hurricanes who also started poorly in BBL 11 but they’ve got 3 wins in their last 4 games, taking the season’s tally to 4 in 8 games. The Canes had a hat-trick of wins going until they lost to Brisbane Heat in the last game and they’ll want to try and avoid another top order collapse here.

Adelaide Strikers
While Rashid Khan and Peter Siddle are the top bowlers with 11 scalps each, we’d recommend picking Wes Agar who was the top bowler for them last season and hasn’t been backed this year. With 8 wickets in 6 games, he makes our STR vs HUR fantasy team as he bowled great lines and lengths in the last game. Matthew Short bowled his 4 overs for the first time in his BBL career and with Fawad Ahmed being expensive in the last game, it could happen again.
With the bat, Matt Renshaw scored 30(21) in the last game and he’s a real accumulator of runs and we expect him to get a few more in this game, so we won’t be leaving him out of our STR vs HUR Dream11 team for this game at the Adelaide Oval. He bats really low down in the order but the 21-year old Thomas Kelly has looked good in the field and has a good, clean hit, batting at a strike rate of 130+ so far in BBL 11.
Hobart Hurricanes
Everyone will be looking at Tom Rogers in their teams as he’s the top wicket-taker of BBL 2021/22 so far but they have a couple of better pacers in the side, both of whom have international as well as exposure in the IPL and other leagues. We’re talking about Nathan Ellis who started slow this season but has 11 scalps so far in 8 games and Riley Meredith is yet to go wicketless in this tournament with 9 scalps in his 5 games so far.

The top run scorer of this tournament is also from Hurricanes in Ben McDermott who scored a fifty and two centuries in three consecutive games before his failure in the last game. He makes our MyFab11 (sign-up with code “READAD46“) STR vs HUR fantasy teams while the captain Peter Handscomb doesn’t make our side because he’s yet to get any scores. While he bats really low down the order, Tim David is a useful player to have.
