Adelaide Strikers Edge Hobart Hurricanes by Four Wickets in WBBL Thriller

Adelaide Strikers held their nerve to beat Hobart Hurricanes by four wickets in their Women’s Big Bash League clash at Bellerive Oval on Tuesday.

The Strikers won the toss and chose to bowl first, restricting the Hurricanes to 138 for 5 from their 20 overs on a surface that made strokeplay hard work.

Adelaide then chased the target down with wickets to spare, reaching 139 for 6 in their full 20 overs to seal a hard-fought win in the early weeks of the season.

Bowlers set it up

The decision to bowl first paid off as the Strikers kept the Hurricanes’ batters in check throughout the innings, never letting a partnership fully take the game away.

A chase that went the distance

With the target modest but the pitch tricky, the Strikers had to work for every run — and getting home with four wickets in hand will feel like a job well done.
