In the 31st match of the ongoing Big Bash League, Adelaide Strikers will be squaring off against Hobart Hurricanes on Tuesday at Adelaide Oval, Adelaide. Adelaide Strikers have gathered the much-needed confidence by breaking their four-match losing streak on Friday with the 9-wicket win over Perth Scorchers. The win against Perth Scorchers has put them back into the hunt for finals. They will also get a big impetus with the return of wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey who has returned to play his first match of this season. 

Hobart Hurricanes, on the other hand, suffered a huge defeat in the rain-curtailed match against Brisbane Heat that they lost by one run. Hobart Hurricanes are placed on the fifth position in the points table with three wins and four losses, carrying 6 points and the negative NRR of -0.052. Hobart Hurricanes would hope to build on the confidence and look to make it to the top four. 

Hobart Hurricanes Probable XI: Caleb Jewell, Ben McDermott (wk), Macalister Wright, Sam Hain, Corey Anderson, Tim David, Nikhil Chaudhary, Chris Jordan, Patrick Dooley, Nathan Ellis (c), Riley Meredith

Adelaide Strikers Probable XI: Matthew Short (c), D Arcy Short, Chris Lynn, Adam Hose, Thomas Kelly, Jamie Overton, Alex Carey (wk), Henry Thornton, David Payne, Cameron Boyce, Lloyd Pope
