The Hurricanes have enjoyed an extended break after Thursday’s game against the Sixers was rained out in Sydney, but that still hasn’t been enough to sway the bookmakers in the market. We take a look at Sunday’s (19/1/2020) BBL Big Bash 2020 match between Hobart Hurricanes and Adelaide Strikers and give our tips and value tips for the match.

Where: UTAS Stadium
Bet: Bet On This Match HERE
Preview:
Fresh from a win over the Heat at home, the Strikers head south to Launceston as the favourites hoping to continue their charge towards the finals.
Adelaide currently sits fourth on the ladder with a 5-4 record, although they’ll need to stay sharp with only four games remaining.
The Strikers bowling attack was outstanding against Brisbane as Liam O’Connor enjoyed a huge three-wicket day, while Michael Neser and Rashid Khan also pitched in.
Hobart ranks dead last in runs scored this year and they won’t hold particularly fond memories of their home loss to the Strikers last year.
These two sides haven’t met so far this season, and although the Strikers are playing on short rest, it’s worth siding with the favourites.
