SCO vs HUR Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 46

SCO vs HUR Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 46 | PS vs HH Dream11 Prediction Today | Perth Pitch Report

Match 46 of BBL 2022/23 is crucial for both teams, but for different reasons. Hobart Hurricanes will be aiming to go on a late season surge to finish in the top five, while Perth Scorchers are out to reclaim top spot over the Sixers.

It’s a clash that promises plenty with the two sides possessing terrific players on paper. The Hurricanes’ batting lineup is superb, but it’s the consistency of the bowling lineup that is in question. They delivered last game by dismissing Thunder for just 135, but this is a bigger test to overcome.

Indeed, the Scorchers are seeking some improvement of their own. They failed to chase what looked to be a gettable 152 against Sixers, losing too many wickets upfront – a key area for improvement today. If they get going, they will be hard to stop on a warm Perth afternoon.

Match Details

  • Location: Optus Stadium, Perth.
  • Time: 4:40pm (local), 2:10pm (IST).

BBL 2022/23 Match 46: SCO vs HUR Possible Playing XIs

Both teams are yet to officially name their squads.

Perth Scorchers: 1. Stephen Eskinazi, 2. Cameron Bancroft, 3. Aaron Hardie, 4. Josh Inglis (wk), 5. Ashton Turner (c), 6. Nick Hobson, 7. Ashton Agar, 8. Andrew Tye, 9. David Payne/Lance Morris, 10. Jason Behrendorff, 11. Peter Hatzoglou

Hurricanes may play an extra seamer in place of left-arm orthodox spinner Tom Andrews.

Hobart Hurricanes: 1. Caleb Jewell, 2. Ben McDermott, 3. Zak Crawley, 4. Matthew Wade (c & wk), 5. Tim David, 6. Asif Ali, 7. Faheem Ashraf, 8. Tom Andrews/Joel Paris, 9. Paddy Dooley, 10. Nathan Ellis, 11. Riley Meredith

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Perth Scorchers:

  • Josh Inglis belted 62 off 37 against the Hurricanes earlier in BBL 12. He has scored 46 off 25 vs Nathan Ellis (one dismissal) in T20s.
  • Stephen Eskinazi has struck 106 runs in his past two BBL matches. The Scorchers’ opener has now crossed 2,000 T20 runs at an average of 35.74 and strike rate of 139.50.
  • Ashton Turner has been terrific when chasing this season. The skipper has scored 176 runs at an average of 44.00 and strike rate of 149.2 when batting second. This is in contrast to 64 runs at an average of 21.3 when batting first.
  • Andrew Tye loves bowling at Perth Stadium. The equal-leading wicket-taker this season (20) has taken a total of 29 wickets in 17 innings on this ground (avg. 14.69, SR 12.45).
  • Tye has dismissed Matt Wade three times in 11 balls, for 17 runs. He also has figures of 1/19 off 13 balls against Ben McDermott.
  • Jason Behrendorff has taken at least one wicket in every match of BBL 2022/23 (total of 16 scalps).

Hobart Hurricanes:

  • Caleb Jewell can get the Hurricanes off to a flyer. The opener has struck 239 runs at an average of 34.14 and strike rate of 162.58 this season.
  • The big question will be how Jewell handles left-arm seam after he was trapped plumb in front by Daniel Sams in the last game. Today he will likely face Behrendorff and David Payne.
  • Matthew Wade has made two starts in his past two matches (20 and 30). Since 2018, he has scored 211 runs in nine innings vs Scorchers at an average of 23.44 and strike rate of 141.61, including a 29-ball 51 earlier in BBL 12.
  • Tim David is coming off a scintilating 71* against the Thunder. The Hurricanes finisher also struck 46* off 28 against Scorchers earlier this season, part of 262 runs at an average of 43.66 and strike rate of 162.73 in BBL 2022/23.
  • David has historically struggled on this ground. In five innings, he has struck just 54 runs at an average of 13.50 and strike rate of 122.73.
  • Paddy Dooley was player of the match in the previous meeting against Scorchers (4/16). Can he have a similar impact on the typically fast Perth Stadium pitch?
  • Nathan Ellis was player of the match last game vs Thunder. The seamer took 4/27, including a hat-trick.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 18, Scorchers 11, Hurricanes 7.
  • Scorchers lead Hurricanes 3-1 at Optus Stadium.

  • Jason Behrendorff has taken nine wickets in 11 innings vs Hurricanes at an average of 29.56 and economy of 7.19. He did dismiss Ben McDermott first ball earlier in BBL 12.
  • McDermott averages just 17.60 in 12 innings against Scorchers (176 runs).
  • Both Riley Meredith (avg. 18.00, econ. 7.11) and Nathan Ellis (avg. 23.80, econ. 8.81) have taken ten wickets against Scorchers.
  • Cameron Bancroft struck 76* in his last match at Perth.

Optus Stadium Perth Pitch Report and Weather

The chasing team is enjoying life at Optus Stadium this season. The team batting second has won the past four matches, with an average first innings score of 145.25 in these games.

Teams can lose quick wickets in the powerplay against the moving ball on this ground. But, given it’s a warm day and afternoon match, it should be good conditions for batting.

Viacom 18 buys media rights for first 5-year cycle of Women’s IPL

Cricket News: Viacom 18 buys media rights for first 5-year cycle of Women’s IPL | Women’s IPL: who won the media rights?

The media rights for the inaugural edition of the Women’s Indian Premier League (WIPL) has been won by Viacom 18 from 2023-27 for Rs 951 crore. The per match value for the league thus stands at Rs 7.09 crore as only two of the eight interested parties, namely Viacom and Disney Star showed up for the auction. The victorious bid included both those of linear TV and digitally and were sold off for the global audience.

“After pay equity, today’s bidding for media rights for Women’s IPL marks another historic mandate. It’s a big and decisive step for empowerment of women’s cricket in India, which will ensure participation of women from all ages. A new dawn indeed!” Jay Shah, secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), was quoted in a report by ESPN Cricinfo.

As of now, the league is expected to host 22 matches for the first three seasons. Post that based on the success of the preceding years, the board can look at adding a sixth franchise from 2026 onwards. Franchises part of the first women’s IPL will be garnering 80 per cent of the funds in the central commercial pool and media rights make up for a major chunk of the same.

The owners of Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Gujarat Titans (GT), Delhi Capitals (DC), Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and the Punjab Kings (PBKS) have submitted their bids for a side in the women’s IPL. The ownership rights for the sides will last for 10 years and 23rd January is the deadline day to submit technical bids for the teams.

The first edition of the women’s IPL is expected to run from 5-23 March. Each of the five teams will play each other twice in the league stages, which rounds off to 20 games. Then, there will be an eliminator between the second-placed and third-placed teams followed by the final between the table-toppers and the winner of the eliminator.

Will Rishabh Pant particiapte in the ODI World Cup 2023?

Cricket News: Will Rishabh Pant particiapte in ODI World Cup 2023? | When will Rishabh Pant play again?

India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant will miss a major chunk of the cricketing action in 2023 as he recovers from the slew of injuries he suffered in a tragic car crash on 30th December.

Pant has torn all three of his important ligaments, i.e. the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the medial collateral ligament (MCL). The PCL and the MCL have been reconstructed in the recent surgery but the ACL correction will happen only after three weeks.

These three ligaments are crucial for the movement of the body. The 25-year-old is hence staring at being sidelined for nearly six months, which puts his participation in the upcoming ODI World Cup in threat. Though he was earlier being treated in Dehradun, Pant was airlifted to Mumbai by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to expedite his recovery.

Pant to miss at least six months of action in 2023

The doctors have not given a fixed timeline for Pant’s resumption of training but the BCCI has concluded that it will not happen within the next six months at least. This will result in the southpaw missing out on the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy as well as the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

There are also chances of him sitting out of the finals of the World Test Championship (WTC) provided India makes it to the summit clash in June.

Pant’s car crash happened in the early hours of 30th December as he was driving from Delhi to visit his family in Roorkee. He was rescued by a Haryana Roadways employee named Sushil Kumar along with his bus conductor Paramjeet. Three medial bulletins have come out from the BCCI since the day of the accident and one of them even informed that the Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper has injured his right ankle as well.

The selection committee has named Ishan Kishan and KS Bharat as the two wicket-keepers for the upcoming series against Australia in Pant’s absence.

SIX vs STR Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 45 | SS vs AS Dream11 Prediction Today | Coffs Harbour Pitch Report

It’s BBL heritage, isn’t it? Sydney Sixers, once again, sit towards the top of the table, and continuously find ways to win. That was the case on Sunday night as they overcame a lowish total and strong Perth Scorchers team to register a morale-boosting six-run win.

As a result, it sets the Sixers up nicely in the run towards the playoffs. The three-time champions are battle-hardened, and will be keen to continue the good form as the action now moves to Coffs Harbour. Steve Smith will be aiming to build on some time at the crease in the last game, while the bowling attack has the task of making inroads into the Adelaide Strikers top order.

Indeed, much rests on the Strikers’ top four, especially with Chris Lynn now unavailable. The middle looks light on experience, which calls on the top order to shed the load of the responsibility. It’s almost must-win territory for the Strikers, given they have won just two of their past eight games and sit equal on ten points with Sydney Thunder and Hobart Hurricanes, both of whom are capable of turning it on.

Match Details

  • Location: International Sports Stadium, Coffs Harbour.
  • Time: 7:15pm (local), 1:45pm (IST).

BBL 2022/23 Match 45: SIX vs STR Possible Playing XIs

Sixers are yet to officially name their squad. They may stick with the same XI that won against Scorchers.

Sydney Sixers: 1. Josh Philippe (wk), 2. Steve Smith, 3. Kurtis Patterson, 4. Moises Henriques (c), 5. Jordan Silk, 6. Dan Christian, 7. Hayden Kerr, 8. Ben Dwarshuis, 9. Sean Abbott, 10. Nathan Lyon, 11. Steve O’Keefe

Strikers have named their squad. Chris Lynn has departed for the UAE, while Peter Siddle is also unavailable as he continues to manage a back injury.

Adelaide Strikers: 1. Travis Head (c), 2. Matt Short, 3. Alex Carey (wk), 4. Adam Hose, 5. Colin de Grandhomme, 6. Thomas Kelly, 7. Ben Manenti, 8. Cameron Boyce, 9. Wes Agar, 10. Henry Thornton, 11. Harry Conway

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Sydney Sixers:

  • It has not been one of Josh Philippe’s most prolific seasons. He is averaging 23.00 in BBL 12. Against Strikers, he averages 34.71 (243 runs) with a strike rate of 135.75.
  • Jordan Silk is the Sixers’ leading run-scorer in BBL 12 (273). He averages 45.50 with a strike rate of 124.65, including 36 (25) vs Strikers.
  • Silk career record vs Strikers: 12 inns, 270 runs, avg. 30.00, SR 143.62.
  • Sean Abbott, who was player of the match against Scorchers (3/18), will be key against Matt Short. He has overall figures of 2/29 off 26 balls against him.
  • Against Strikers, Abbott has taken 21 wickets in 11 matches at an average of 16.05 and economy of 8.75.
  • Hayden Kerr has taken at least one wicket in nine of his past ten matches.
  • Steve O’Keefe has good numbers against the Strikers. In ten matches, he has taken 15 wickets at an average of 14.33 and economy of 6.45.
  • O’Keefe has figures of 2/21 in 18 balls against Matt Short.

Adelaide Strikers:

  • Matt Short, the leading run-scorer in BBL 12 (418), has made scores of 38, 100*, 38, 20 and 39 in his past five matches. He belted 84* off 53 against Sixers earlier this season.
  • Travis Head can take the game away from the Sixers. He missed out against Heat (1), but still comes into this match off the back of some amazing scores in international cricket: 152, 99, 175, 38*, 92, 0, 51, 70.
  • Between December 2017 and January 2022, Alex Carey scored 190 runs in eight matches at an average of 27.14 and strike rate of 113.10 against the Sixers.
  • Adam Hose smashed 40 off 22 balls vs Sixers earlier in BBL 12.
  • Can Henry Thornton rediscover his best form? The pacer took 4/20 against Sixers in the previous meeting, where he dismissed Kurtis Patterson, Dan Christian and Sean Abbott.
  • Cameron Boyce has taken 11 wickets in 12 innings vs Sixers at an economy of 7.13.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 18, Sixers 11, Strikers 7.
  • Sean Abbott has taken a three-wicket haul in each of his past three matches.
  • Wes Agar vs Sixers since December 2020: 3 inns, 2 wickets, avg. 50.50, econ. 10.10.

International Sports Stadium Coffs Harbour Pitch Report and Weather

Coffs Harbour has proven to be a relatively free-scoring ground. In January 2020, Sixers chased down Strikers’ 176 with three balls to spare on a good batting pitch. Josh Philippe smashed 83 off 52 balls in that match.

Last season, Scorchers chased down Sixers’ 151 with one over to spare. So, the captain who wins the toss may choose to bowl.

There is a chance of showers throughout the day, but they should hopefully clear by game time.

List of biggest wins in ODIs (by runs)

Cricket News: List of biggest wins in ODIs (by runs) | What is the biggest win ever in One Day Internationals (ODIs)?

In January 2023, India won the third game of their One Day International (ODI) series against Sri Lanka by 317 runs to set the record for the biggest victory by the margin of runs at Thirvananthpuram on Sunday. That record was nearly broken a mere five months later.

On that note, Cricblog takes a look at five of the most prominent wins by this criterion in the history of ODIs.

Biggest wins by runs in ODIs

5: South Africa – 272 runs v Zimbabwe

Just a few months prior to the aforementioned Sri Lankan mauling, South Africa had handed a similar embarrassing defeat to the visiting Zimbabwean unit. Playing at Benoni, middle-order batsmen Jean-Paul Dumminy and Ab de Villiers hammered 129 and 109 runs respectively to help the Proteas get to 399 runs. Following that, their bowling unit put forth a collective impressive performance as Albie Morkel, Wayne Parnell and Johan Botha picked two wickets each along with Rusty Theron’s three scalps to bowl out Zimbabwe for merely 127 runs in 29 overs.

4: Australia – 275 runs v Afghanistan

Australia were relentless in their victorious campaign in the 2015 ODI World Cup. En route to the knockouts, they defeated Afghanistan by a whopping margin of 275 runs in one of the group stage matches.

David Warner scored 178 runs along with Steven Smith and Glenn Maxwell’s valuable contributions of 95 and 88 runs respectively to take the Aussies to 417 runs. Mitchell Johnson picked a four-wicket haul coupled with Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood’s two wickets each to round off the Afghan innings for merely 142 runs in 37.3 overs.

3: New Zealand – 290 runs v Ireland

The Kiwis had inflicted an ignominy on Ireland at Aberdeen in July 2008 as they defeated them by 290 runs. Openers James Marshall and Brendon McCullum scored 161 and 166 runs respectively as they put up an opening partnership of 274 runs in just 42.2 overs.

Then, Ross Taylor came in at number three to notch 59 off 24 deliveries to take New Zealand to 402 runs in 50 overs. They hit 128 runs in the last 46 deliveries and then the bowling attack came together to end the Irish innings for only 112 runs in 28.4 overs. Tim Southee and Michael Mason scalped three wickets each as Irish number 10 Peter Connell top-scored with 22 runs in a disappointing outing.

2: Zimbabwe – 304 runs v USA

Zimbabwe enjoyed a magnificent group stage of the 2023 ODI World Cup Qualifier. They won all four of their matches, including the big scalp of West Indies. They also dismantled USA by posting 408/6 – their first 400+ in ODIs – and then rolling them for just 104 to seal the second-biggest ever win in ODIs in terms of runs.

Sean Williams led the way with a superb 101-ball 174, with magnificent support from Sikandar Raza (48 off 27) and Ryan Burl (47 off 16). In response, USA had no response, falling to 44/5 at the ten-over mark courtesy of loose strokeplay and two horror run outs.

1: India – 317 runs v Sri Lanka

Virat Kohli’s return to form bodes well for team India as his 166 runs coupled with Shubman Gill’s 116 steered the team to 390 runs in the first innings. Lead Lankan bowlers Kasun Rajitha and Lahiru Kumara conceded 81 and 87 runs respectively in their 10 overs each as the home side were arguably flawless throughout their innings.

They doubled it up by bowling out Sri Lanka for 77 runs as Mohammed Siraj took four wickets and Mohammed Shami and Kuldeep Yadav took two scalps each to culminate an absolutely authoritative series win for the Indians.

Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav headline India squad for Australia series

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has named Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav in the Test squad for the first two matches of India’s upcoming four-game series against Australia. Pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah misses out of the 17-member roster due to an injury to his right glute whereas Ravindra Jadeja’s participation in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy is subject to his fitness as of now.

 Jaydev Unadkat is a part of India’s pace quartet that includes Mohammed Shami, Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Siraj alongside him. Rishabh Pant’s recent car accident and subsequent layoff sees Konas Bharat being named as the other wicket-keeper in the squad besides Kishan.

Surya, Kishan – Rewarded for limited-overs exploits?

The induction of Suryakumar and Kishan in the squad certainly adds tremendous firepower and dynamism to the Indian batting lineup. The two of them strike at 63.56 and 68.90 in their first-class careers respectively. But more importantly, they have been in sublime form in white-ball cricket recently.

Ever since debuting in February 2021, Suryakumar has averaged 46.81 with a strike rate of 180.34 in T20Is. He has notched three international centuries in the shortest format of the game and it was about time that his peerless caliber was put into use in red-ball format as well.

Similarly, Kishan broke the glass door down with his double century in India’s third ODI against Bangladesh last month. He might appear to be a like-to-like replacement to Pant but whether or not he manages to pip Bharat in the lineup remains to be seen as the latter has been a backup to the Delhi Capitals (DC) skipper for a considerable period of time now.

Jadeja Returns?

Jadeja has been out of cricketing action since suffering a knee injury during the Asia Cup in August 2021. The 34-year-old instills incredible all-round value in the playing XI and the team management might be eagerly hoping for him to clear his fitness requirements to make it to the series. In case he doesn’t, Axar Patel has shown good form recently and could very well slot in for the Saurashtra superstar. Ravichandran Ashwin is very likely to take over the frontline spinner’s responsibility in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.

Pace Attack

The fast bowling unit will absolutely miss Bumrah’s domineering presence but his recent layoffs have perhaps acclimatized the team to deal without him. Shami and Umesh have been pillars for long and Siraj will perhaps supplement the duo as the third pacer in the playing XI.

India Squad –

Rohit Sharma (C), KL Rahul (vc), Shubman Gill, C Pujara, V Kohli, S Iyer, KS Bharat (wk), Ishan Kishan (wk), R Ashwin, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohd. Shami, Mohd. Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Jaydev Unadkat, Suryakumar Yadav

India Predicted Lineup –

Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill/KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ishan Kishan (wk), Ravindra Jadeja/Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Umesh Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj/Kuldeep Yadav

CT vs PRL Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: SA20 2023 Match 1 | MICT vs PR Dream11 Prediction Today | Cape Town Pitch Report

The wait is over. The highly anticipated SA20 is upon us, with a potential classic on offer right away.

Highly rated MI Cape Town, filled with domestic and overseas talent, will be seeking the perfect start to the tournament. With so many hard-hitting batting options and strong bowling resources on hand, the key for Rashid Khan’s team is nailing the combinations right away, particularly under pressure.

Given the talent also at Paarl Royals’ disposal, there is every chance that MICT could be placed under pressure throughout the contest. Jos Buttler had a dream 2022 including winning a T20 World Cup and reaching an IPL Final, while David Miller also had a year to remember. However, whether the bowling attack can keep the home side in check remains to be seen.

Match Details

SA20 2023 Match 1: CT vs PRL Possible Playing XIs

In SA20, teams can confirm their playing XI after the toss.

Odean Smith, Sam Curran, Rashid Khan and Jofra Archer could be the four overseas players for MI Cape Town if Liam Livingstone is not deemed fit.

Also, it remains to be seen if Kagiso Rabada plays as he just finished the Test tour of Australia.

MI Cape Town: 1. Wesley Marshall/Ryan Rickelton, 2. Grant Roelofsen, 3. Dewald Brevis, 4. Rassie van der Dussen, 5. Sam Curran (os), 6. Odean Smith/Liam Livingstone, 7. Rashid Khan (c, os), 8. George Linde, 9. Kagiso Rabada/Beuran Hendricks, 10. Jofra Archer (os), 11. Duan Jansen

Jos Buttler, Jason Roy and Eoin Morgan could form part of the overseas core for Paarl Royals. Obed McCoy is out of the tournament with injury.

Paarl Royals: 1. Jos Buttler (os, wk), 2. Jason Roy (os), 3. Wihan Lubbe/Dane Vilas, 4. Michael Van Buuren, 5. Eoin Morgan (os), 6. David Miller (c), 7. Corbin Bosch/Evan Jones, 8. Andile Phehlukwayo, 9. Lungi Ngidi, 10. Bjorn Fortuin, 11. Tabraiz Shamsi

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

MI Cape Town:

  • Grant Roelofsen scored the most runs in the 2022/23 CSA T20 Challenge. He struck 333 runs in eight innings at an average of 47.57 and strike rate of 132.66.
  • Will the talented Dewald Brevis find consistency? He hit a memorable 162 in the CSA T20 Challenge, but his tournament was also filled with a number of single digit scores. Overall, he struck at a magnificent 176.75.
  • Rassie van der Dussen has a terrific record at Newlands. In 13 matches, he has struck 464 runs at an average of 46.40 and strike rate of 127.17.
  • Sam Curran recently became the most expensive player in IPL history. He was player of the tournament in the 2022 T20 World Cup, and will be aiming to make an immediate impact.
  • Expect Rashid Khan to bowl himself early. He has an incredible record against Jos Buttler in T20s, with total figures of 4/31 in 49 balls.
  • Beuran Hendricks has taken the third-most wickets in T20s at Newlands (26) at an average of 18.62 and strike rate of just 12.92. In fact, this is the second-best strike rate of any bowler with at least 20 wickets at Cape Town.

Paarl Royals:

  • Jos Buttler in all T20s, 2022: 38 inns, 1,570 runs, avg. 46.18, SR 152.13.
  • In T20s in South Africa, Buttler has slammed 256 runs in eight innings at an average of 42.67 and strike rate of 148.95. This includes 106 runs in three matches at Cape Town at an average of 106.00 and strike rate of 129.27.
  • Jason Roy, on the other hand, averages just 19.88 in 17 innings in South Africa.
  • Michael Van Buuren recently struck 140 runs at an average of 35.00 and strike rate of 138.61 in the CSA T20 Challenge.
  • David Miller was the chase master in 2022. In 25 T20 innings batting second, Miller hit 709 runs at an average of 70.90 and strike rate of 149.26.
  • However, can Miller improve on a middling record at Newlands? The Paarl skipper has scored 347 runs in 17 matches at an average of 24.79 and strike rate of 122.61.
  • Lungi Ngidi is a genuine wicket-taker. At Newlands, he strikes every 19.14 deliveries, part of 82 wickets in 60 T20 innings in South Africa.
  • Tabraiz Shamsi at Cape Town: 9 inns, 10 wickets, avg. 27.30, SR 20.70.

STR vs REN Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 36

STR vs REN Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 36 | AS vs MR Dream11 Prediction Today | Adelaide Pitch Report

As the race begins to heat up for the BBL 12 playoffs, an opportunity awaits Adelaide Strikers and Melbourne Renegades to consolidate their spot in the top five. Both sides are coming off morale-boosting victories – the Renegades over the Hurricanes thanks to a Sam Harper special, while record-breakers Strikers chased 230 in one of the great efforts in T20 history.

Now, the focus will be on which team deals better with key departures. One of Adelaide’s favourites Rashid Khan is off to the SA20, while the Renegades are without excellent spin duo Akeal Hosein and Mujeeb Ur Rahman.

Adelaide will overtake the Renegades into third place with a win here. Should the Renegades win, they take a big step towards a first playoffs’ appearance since 2019. Indeed, there is lots to play for.

Match Details

  • Location: Adelaide Oval.
  • Time: 7:10pm (local), 2:10pm (IST).

BBL 2022/23 Match 36: STR vs REN Possible Playing XIs

Rashid Khan has departed for the SA20. Opener Henry Hunt has replaced him in the squad, and legspinner Cameron Boyce may take Rashid’s place in the XI.

Adelaide Strikers: 1. Matt Short (c), 2. Ryan Gibson, 3. Chris Lynn, 4. Adam Hose, 5. Colin de Grandhomme, 6. Thomas Kelly, 7. Harry Nielsen (wk), 8. Cameron Boyce, 9. Henry Thornton, 10. Wes Agar, 11. Harry Conway

English all-rounder and new Renegades signing Matt Critchley has been named in the squad. Sri Lankan legspinner Ruwantha Kellapotha is also included.

Akeal Hosein and Mujeeb Ur Rahman have completed their BBL 12 stint.

Melbourne Renegades: 1. Martin Guptill, 2. Marcus Harris, 3. Sam Harper (wk), 4. Aaron Finch (c), 5. Jonathan Wells, 6. Matt Critchley, 7. Will Sutherland, 8. Mackenzie Harvey/David Moody/Jack Prestwidge, 9. Tom Rogers, 10. Kane Richardson, 11. Ruwantha Kellapotha

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Adelaide Strikers:

  • Matt Short is coming off a miraculous unbeaten century in a record chase. The all-rounder has been outstanding at Adelaide Oval this season, with scores of 84, 65, 6 and 100*.
  • Short vs Renegades: 6 inns, 170 runs, avg. 34.00, SR 155.96.
  • Chris Lynn is having a terrific campaign. He is the leading run-scorer with 324 runs in eight matches at an average of 40.50 and strike rate of 140.86.
  • Lynn has hammered scores of 87 and 64 in his past two matches. In fact, the Strikers’ number three has hit a double figure score in every BBL 12 match.
  • Adam Hose has scored 56* (41) and 38 (22) in his last two matches at Adelaide Oval.
  • It’s a big game for Henry Thornton. The pacer has had a difficult last few games, with batsmen taking him on. He has gone wicketless just once in 15 BBL matches (total of 30 wickets).
  • Wes Agar has taken nine wickets in seven matches against Renegades at an average of 17.33 and economy of 7.15. He has total figures of 2/26 in 16 balls against Sam Harper and 1/21 in 16 balls against Aaron Finch.

Melbourne Renegades:

  • Sam Harper is coming off one of his best ever knocks (89 off 48 balls vs Hurricanes). He favours shots square of the wicket, so expect him to target the shorter side boundaries.
  • Against Strikers, Harper has scored 160 runs in eight matches at an average of 20.00 and strike rate of 107.38. Rashid Khan has dismissed him twice in 27 balls, so Harper will be glad Rashid is unavailable.
  • Aaron Finch has played just six matches for Renegades against Strikers since December 2011. He has hit 100 runs at an average of 16.67.
  • This season, Finch has scored 242 runs at an average of 34.57. At Adelaide, the Renegades captain has scored 338 runs at an average of 30.73 and strike rate of 133.60.
  • Legspinning all-rounder Matt Critchley scored 248 runs at a strike rate of 139.33 and took 15 wickets across 10 matches in the 2022 Vitality Blast.
  • Kane Richardson has a good record against Chris Lynn. He has dismissed him twice in 23 balls, conceding just 26 in the process.
  • Also, Richardson has taken 14 wickets in eight matches against Strikers since January 2018 (avg. 19.64, econ. 8.87).
  • Tom Rogers is now the top wicket-taker in BBL 12. The seamer has taken 17 wickets, including seven in his past two matches.

Other Stats and Facts

  • Head-to-head: Matches 16, Strikers 10, Renegades 6.
  • Strikers lead Renegades 5-4 at Adelaide Oval.
  • Henry Thornton has taken 15 wickets in seven matches at Adelaide (avg. 14.67, SR 10.40).
  • Cameron Boyce has historically struggled on this ground. In 12 matches, he has taken just five wickets at an average of 64.80 and strike rate of 44.80.
  • Tom Rogers has taken five wickets in 42 balls between overs 17 and 20 in this BBL. Also, he is conceding a respectable 9.71 per over at this stage.
  • Martin Guptill has made two 30+ scores in a row.

Adelaide Oval Pitch Report and Weather

A hot and clear day is forecast in Adelaide, with a top of about 31 degrees.

Expect another belter of a batting pitch. Last game, the Strikers chased down 230. In four matches so far this season, the average first innings score is 187.25. The team batting first and second have won two games each.

Details on all squad changes in BBL 2022/23

Cricket News: Details on all squad changes in BBL 2022/23 | Will the Australia Test players participate in BBL 12?

Multiple changes are being run amongst all franchises in the Big Bash League (BBL) as players are heading to the newly-formed SA20 as well as the ILT20. However, quite a few high-profile Australian internationals will be joining their sides as the competition is set to enter its business end now. Following are the given details.

BBL 12 squad changes: Will the Australia Test players participate?

Sydney Sixers

Ins: Steven Smith, Nathan Lyon

Outs: Chris Jordan, James Vince, Naveen ul Haq

Table-toppers Sydney Sixers will be losing their three key overseas players, namely Chris Jordan, James Vince and Naveen ul Haq to the ILT20. Vince will be leading the Gulf Giants in the United Arab Emirates (UAE)-based league.

However, the duo of Steven Smith and Nathan Lyon will join the team right from their recently-concluded Test series against South Africa. Smith and Lyon will be adding tremendous pedigree to the side but the two of them have been out T20 action for a while and their adaptability to the format will be under scanner.

Perth Scorchers

Ins: Lance Morris, Ashton Agar

Outs: Faf du Plessis, Adam Lyth

Faf du Plessis will be flying to South Africa to captain the Johannesburg Super Kings (JSK) in the SA20. Pacer Lance Morris will be replacing fast bowler Jhye Richardson who has been sidelined due to a hamstring injury. Adam Lyth will represent the Desert Vipers in the ILT20 whereas Ashton Agar will join the Scorchers’ setup as well.

Melbourne Renegades

Ins: Marcus Harris

Outs: Mujeeb ur Rahman, Akeal Hosein

The Renegades will be stunned by the absence of their spin bowling duo of Mujeeb ur Rahman and Akeal Hosein – both of them who would be flying to the UAE to participate in the ILT20. However, opener Marcus Harris will join them and add further mettle to their batting firepower following Australia’s Test series against South Africa.

Sydney Thunder

Ins: David Warner

Outs: Alex Hales, Rilee Rossouw

The Thunder have a like-to-like replacement for the outgoing Alex Hales in the form of David Warner. However, their middle-order will lose some sheen with the departure of Rilee Rossouw. The South African batsman will be taking part in the SA20 whereas Hales will play in the ILT20.

Adelaide Strikers

Ins: Alex Carey, Travis Head

Outs: Chris Lynn, Rashid Khan

The Strikers will lose their two definite strikers like Chris Lynn and Rashid Khan to the ILT20 and the SA20 respectively. But, their domestic contingent will receive a stimulus by the incomings of Alex Carey and Travis Head. Whilst the batting department could very well make up for Lynn’s departure, the team will have to find a way to deal with Rashid’s departure too.

Hobart Hurricanes

Out: Shadab Khan

Pakistani all-rounder Shadab Khan had a fairly successful season until his injury hampered his further participation in the competition. However, the Hobart Hurricanes will not have any fresh new faces joining the roster.

Brisbane Heat

Ins: Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne

Outs: Sam Billings, Colin Munro

Test specialists Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne – both of whom are in an imperious run of form presently, will join the Brisbane Heat now as Sam Billings and Colin Munro will be going to the UAE for their respective commitments in the ILT20.

Melbourne Stars

Out: Trent Boult

The bottom-placed Melbourne Stars will have to deal with further complications as bowling spearhead Trent Boult will now represent the MI Emirates in the ILT20. To make matters worse, the Stars do not have any new players joining them for the rest of the campaign.

HUR vs STA Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 35

HUR vs STA Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: BBL 2022/23 Match 35 | HH vs MS Dream11 Prediction Today | Hobart Pitch Report

It’s time for Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars to get going. Both teams have struggled for consistency so far in BBL 12, for differing reasons. The Hurricanes have not been able to stem the flow of runs, conceding some of the biggest totals in BBL history. The Stars, on the other hand, haven’t scored enough runs.

Which team will hold their nerve best in this crunch clash? It doesn’t get any easier as Hobart will be without Matthew Wade, while the Stars will have to cope without Marcus Stoinis in what looks to be a bigger blow on paper. So, the onus is on players who haven’t quite delivered consistently to produce in this crucial encounter.

Stars sit bottom. Hurricanes are sixth. With Adelaide Strikers set to welcome back Travis Head and Alex Carey, along with their much better net run rate of +0.925, there is very little room for error for these two sides.

BBL 2022/23 Match 35: HUR vs STA Possible Playing XIs

Hurricanes have named their squad. Matthew Wade will miss this match for personal reasons. Expect D’Arcy Short to return.

Chris Tremain is back in the squad and could play. Also, Paddy Dooley, who missed the last match with a finger injury, is also named.

Hobart Hurricanes: 1. Caleb Jewell, 2. Ben McDermott (wk), 3. Zak Crawley, 4. D’Arcy Short, 5. Tim David, 6. Asif Ali, 7. Faheem Ashraf, 8. Chris Tremain/Joel Paris, 9. Nathan Ellis (c), 10. Paddy Dooley, 11. Riley Meredith

Stars have also named their squad. Marcus Stoinis is out with a hamstring strain. The Stars could replace him with the in-form James Seymour, who hit 119* in Grade cricket.

Also, Trent Boult has completed his stint in BBL 12.

Melbourne Stars: 1. Joe Clarke (wk), 2. Tom Rogers, 3. Hilton Cartwright, 4. James Seymour, 5. Beau Webster, 6. Nick Larkin, 7. Campbell Kellaway, 8. Nathan Coulter-Nile, 9. Luke Wood, 10. Liam Hatcher, 11. Adam Zampa (c)

Key Players to Watch/Key Stats

Hobart Hurricanes:

  • Ben McDermott is in good touch, with scores of 57, 53 and 28 in his past three matches. Against Stars, he has scored 412 runs at an average of 41.20 and strike rate of 133.77.
  • McDermott has scored 50 runs off 39 balls against Adam Zampa, without dismissal. He has also never been dismissed by Nathan Coulter-Nile (22 off 16).
  • Caleb Jewell will be tasked with providing the Hurricanes with another fast start. The left-hander has smashed 54 (28), 54 (25) and 28 (17) in his past three matches.
  • Between overs 0-5 this season, Jewell has smashed 100 off 64 balls without dismissal.
  • Tim David is also in good touch. He has belted 183 runs at an average of 36.60 and strike rate of 153.78 so far this season.
  • Riley Meredith has taken the most wickets in HUR-STA matches (15) at an average of 16.53 and economy of 7.19. He dismissed Beau Webster and Hilton Cartwright earlier this season.
  • Meredith also has the second-most wickets of any bowler at Bellerive Oval. He has taken 25 wickets in 18 matches, striking every 16.08 balls.
  • Hurricanes will be hoping the impressive Paddy Dooley is back fit and firing against a Stars side that has had its issues against spin in recent games. The spinner has taken 12 wickets in seven matches this season at an economy of 6.36 and strike rate of 12.5.

Melbourne Stars:

  • Joe Clarke struck a century against Hurricanes earlier this season. He has scored 28 off 21 against Riley Meredith and 21 off 16 against Nathan Ellis, both without dismissal.
  • Hilton Cartwright hit 35 off 31 balls in his last game, against Sixers. It may not seem great on paper, but he looked more comfortable in the number three role.
  • Beau Webster has hit four single digit scores in a row (0, 3, 8, 8). He has taken a wicket in each of his last three matches, but the Stars need him to stand up in the absence of Stoinis.
  • Since December 2019, Nathan Coulter-Nile has taken six wickets in four matches vs Hurricanes at an average of 12.50 and economy of 6.25.
  • Luke Wood kickstarted his BBL 12 campaign with 3/25 against Hurricanes. He dismissed Ben McDermott with a short delivery, as well as Tim David.

  • Tim David has smashed 84 off 39 between overs 17-20 in BBL 12.
  • Nathan Ellis has taken seven wickets in six matches against Stars at an average of 20.57 and economy of 6.86.
  • Coulter-Nile vs Jewell: 11 balls, 11 runs, one dismissal.
  • Adam Zampa took 3/27 against Hurricanes earlier this season. He dismissed Short, Asif Ali and Ellis.
  • Tom Rogers struck an impressive 33-ball 48 in the last match vs Sixers.

Bellerive Oval Hobart Pitch Report and Weather

There is a small chance of showers in the evening in Hobart. However, it shouldn’t impact the game too much, if at all.

In the last game on this ground, Hurricanes chased down Strikers’ 177 with a mammoth 16 balls to spare on a beautiful batting track. Expect another good surface with minimal turn for the spinners with short, square boundaries.
