HUR vs THU Dream11 Team Prediction & Preview: 50th Match, BBL 2019-20

Hobart Hurricanes will take on Sydney Thunder in the 50th match of Big Bash League 2019-20 at Bellerive Oval in Hobart. We will provide HUR vs THU Dream11 Prediction, Match Preview, and Probable Playing XI.

Hobart Hurricanes:

Hurricanes are having a tough time this season as they are currently at 7^th on the points table with 4 wins and 7 losses and a total of 9 points.

In the last match, batting first Hurricanes started off their innings brilliantly as Mathew Wade scored 66 runs from 29 balls and Macalister Wright scored 70* runs from 50 balls. They scored 78 runs in the power play without losing any wicket. In the middle overs, they lost few wickets and their run rate got a little slow but in the end, Ben McDermott played brilliantly by scoring 38* runs from 19 balls and helped the Hurricanes post a total of 190 runs in 20 overs.

With 190 runs to defend, Hurricanes picked up a wicket in the 2^nd over for just 9 runs and put pressure but after that, they gave away runs and were able to pick up the 2^nd wicket in the 11^th over. They put pressure after that wicket but in the death overs they gave away runs and it looked like they would lose the match as Hurricanes had to defend 11 runs in the final over. Nathan Ellis bowled brilliantly in the last over and gave only 6 runs restricting the opposition to a total of 186 runs and won the match by 4 runs. Qais Ahmad, Thomas Rogers, Clive Rose, and Nathan Ellis picked up 1 wicket each.

Hurricanes need to win this match against the Sydney Thunder to keep their hopes alive for playoffs. 

Sydney Thunder:

Thunder is in a slightly tricky position currently in the tournament as they are at 6^th position on the points table with 5 wins and 6 losses and a total of 11 points.

In the last match, batting first Thunder lost the wicket of Khawaja for 11 runs in the 4^th over and they managed to score 32 runs in the power play. Thunder never found the momentum in the innings and felt difficulty in scoring the runs. Arjun Nair 11 runs and Alex Ross 22* runs played decently but it was Alex Hales who alone played magnificently and scored 85 runs in 59 balls and helped the Thunder to post a total of 153 runs in 20 overs.

With 153 runs to defend, Bowlers just went for runs right from the start of the innings and gave away 136 runs for the 1^st wicket in 13 overs. In the 14^th over they picked up a wicket but it was too late by then as the opposition chased down the target in 16 overs and Thunder had to face a defeat by 8 wickets. Gurinder Sandhu and Chris Morris picked up 1 wicket each.

Thunder would want to win this match against Hobart Hurricanes so that they ensure a place in the play offs.
