Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing XI
After getting past Sydney Thunder to snatch a crucial narrow-win, Hobart Hurricanes have put itself in the driving-seat to take the final playoff-berth.
The Hurricanes batting-card showed an improvement after struggling with all-round performance for much of the season. Caleb Jewell secured his spot at the top of the order alongside Ben McDermott with a solid fifty in the last game. Matthew Wade also returned to the side with a superb knock. D'Arcy Short, Peter Handscomb and Tim David will comprise the middle-order.
The bowling-unit complimented with a fine display for the Hurricanes as well despite missing a few key members. Riley Meredith continues to lead the pace-attack following an excellent outing in the previous game while Tom Rogers and Jordan Thompson will be the supporting-acts. Sandeep Lamichhane and D'Arcy Short will be the two spin-bowling options.
Probable XI: Caleb Jewell, Ben McDermott, Matthew Wade (wk), D'Arcy Short, Peter Handscomb, Tim David, Jordan Thompson, Mitchell Owen, Tom Rogers, Riley Meredith, Sandeep Lamichhane.
Melbourne Renegades Team News & Playing XI
A disappointing derby-loss to Melbourne Stars has left the underwhelming Melbourne Renegades on course for its 3rd wooden-spoon in a row.
There were more alterations made to the batting-card but the results were unaffected. Aaron Finch could move up to the top of the order to partner Jake Fraser-McGurk with Shaun Marsh returning to his usual no.3 spot for this clash. Nic Maddinson, Mackenzie Harvey and Sam Harper will make up the middle-order which has been a contentious issue for them all season.
The lack of wicket-taking ability in the bowling-unit has been another big problem for the Renegades. Kane Richardson has enjoyed another brilliant campaign individually but the rest of the bowlers have been unspectacular. Josh Lalor and Jack Prestwidge are the two seamers likely to get the nod here with Zahir Khan and Cameron Boyce as the spin-bowlers of the team.
Probable XI: Aaron Finch, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Shaun Marsh, Mackenzie Harvey, Sam Harper (wk), Nic Maddinson, Jack Prestwidge, Cameron Boyce, Josh Lalor, Kane Richardson, Zahir Khan.
