Aus T20 League

Match 15: SCO vs HUR 

Preview

Scorchers and Hurricanes will square off in match number 15 of the Aus-T20 League 2021 at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart on December 20. Scorchers led by Ashton Turner have made a remarkable start to their season, having won all of their first three matches in the tournament. Hurricanes on the other hand are languishing at the middle of the points table and need to show a bit of consistency to gain some momentum. Their hot and cold form this year has positioned them in sixth place in the league standings. 

The first meeting between these two franchises ended in Scorcher’s favour. Mitchell Marsh’s  century led the three time champions to a 53 run win over Wade’s men.The hard hitting all rounder smashed Hurricane bowlers to all parts of the ground and helped his team reach a mammoth total of 182/5. Hurricanes in reply were bundled out 129, handing the men in orange a big victory. Scorchers have a power packed batting unit with Colin Munro, Josh Inglis and Kurtis Pattinson in their ranks. The addition of Mitch Marsh has bolstered the batting even further. Bowling looks solid with Agar, Tye and Behrendorff all making valuable contributions with ball in hand.

Hurricanes on the contrary have struggled to really find their feet in the T20 competition this year. The batting department relies heavily on openers Wade and Short. If either of them fails to deliver, the middle order collapses like a pack of cards. Hurricanes need to address their batting woes before entering the field of play.  Nathan Ellis should shoulder the responsibility of the bowling attack. Ahead of this majestic clash, let us have a look at how these two units will fare out in today’s match.
