Hobart Hurricanes (HUR) will take on Perth Scorchers (SCO) in Match 7 of the ongoing BBL 2024-25 (Big Bash League) season, at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, on Saturday, December 21.
The Nathan Ellis-led had a poor start to their BBL campaign as they suffered a six-wicket defeat in their season opener against Melbourne Renegades. The side dealt with a batting collapse as they were bundled out for a mere 74 runs in 12.4 overs. Fergus O’Neill, Tom Rogers and Will Sutherland for Renegades bowled beautifully sharing nine wickets amongst them. The Melbourne-based side later chased down the target in nine overs and opened their account in the points tally.
Meanwhile, the Ashton Turner-led Scorchers played the season opener against the Melbourne Stars and registered a six-wicket win. Opting to bat first, the Stars managed to score 146 runs in their allotted 20 overs. In reply, the Perth-based franchise later chased down the target with relative ease, thanks to Cooper Connolly’s brilliant 64-run knock.
Pitch Report
The surface of Bellerive Oval is usually a great track to bat on. The batters will enjoy their time in the middle and the pacers are expected to be effective in the first few overs. Bowling first will be ideal as anything over 170 runs can be a good total.
