Team News –
SCO –
– The Scorchers won 3 back to back games and the last one was against table toppers Sydney Thunders. Team will likely go unchanged.
– Jason Roy and Liam Livingston will open the innings. Roy is a very attacking batsman but is inconsistent and going through a bad patch. He will bat along with hard hitting Livingston who had an excellent bbl2019 but is not having a good run here.
– Colin Munro will bat at 1 down. He is one of the most attacking batsman in t20s and surprisingly has been very consistent this BBL with yet another 50 in last game.
– Wicket keeper Josh Inglis will bat at 2 down. Inglis bats with a excellent strike rate of 150+ and scored 72 last 2nd game. He will also keep the Wickets.
– Mitchell Marsh and Ashton Turner will be batting next. He is a ace Allrounder and is also bowling from last few games. Turner is also very important in that middle order with his SR of 134.
– Fawad Ahmed the leggie will lead the spin attack. Liam Livingston and Ashton Turner can assist him.
– Jhye Richardson, Andrew Tye and Jason Behrendorff will be the pace attack of team.
HUR –
– The Hurricanes lost the last game against the the Thunders and are placed at #4 in the points table.
– D’Arcy Short and Ben McDermott will open for the hurricanes. Short has the highest impact rate when it comes to the BBL and contributes through both bat and bowl , but haven’t been very effective this year.
– McDermott has been one of the key players of the team this season and scored 299 runs in 7 games.
– David Malan will bat 1 down. Malan is world’s best t20 batsman currently and has scored highest runs last year. He was out cheaply on 20 last game.
– Peter Handscomb will bat at 2 down. Handscomb will be a important part of the Hobart middle order but haven’t performed according to his standards yet. He will also keep the Wickets. He scored 30 last game.
– Experienced Colin Ingram will bat at 3 down. Ingram provides a lot of Balance to the team and is among top 5 scorers of this season.
– Tim David will bat in middle order. David has been exceptional this BBL with a strike rate of 160+. He has been very consistent this season.
