HUR vs REN Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 14 | HH vs MR Dream11 Prediction Today | Hobart Pitch Report
It’s Christmas Eve, and that means the Hobart Hurricanes are in action. Will the Christmas season spark some joy into the star-studded Hurricanes side that is yet to find its rhythm so far in BBL 12?
It feels like we are waiting for the Hurricanes to hit their straps, and every time they show glimpses, they come crashing back down to earth.
It won’t get easier as the Melbourne Renegades have a 100% record so far this campaign. The bowling attack, led by Akeal Hosein, has produced the goods, with some fine contributions from the likes of Aaron Finch and Nic Maddinson with the bat.
So, matchups will be key in what looks an even match on paper. But, if you go on form, then who knows which Hurricanes side will show up. This has the potential to be another close match.
