The left-handed opener has averaged 31.8 with the bat from his five appearances in his debut campaign, partnering with Mitch Owen who is beginning to hit his straps after a scratchy start to the season.<\/p>\n Tim Ward\u2019s breakthrough BBL innings ends on 90<\/p>\n Liam Scott (Strikers): The allrounder has been consistent with both bat and ball for the Strikers amid a breakout campaign, coming off an unbeaten 49 which proved vital in Adelaide’s own narrow win over the Thunder on Tuesday evening. With a focus on a stringent defensive bowling coming into BBL|15, Scott has helped deliver on that mission with an economy rate of 7.0 from his six matches.<\/p>\n Top performers<\/p>\n \n Most Runs \n Most Wickets Local knowledgeRapid stats<\/p>\n Hobart Hurricanes have won their past two BBL matches against Adelaide Strikers; a third consecutive win in this game would be the Hurricanes’ outright longest winning run against the Strikers in the history of the competition (also won two from January to December in 2020). Another win or two would almost clinch top spot for the Hurricanes for the second season in a row, who quickly bounced back from their loss to the Scorchers with a thumping win over the Thunder. Meanwhile, the Strikers are up to fifth and on the cusp of a return to finals, but they need to keep winning to ensure they move into the top four.<\/p>\n KFC BBL|15 standings<\/p>\n Team<\/p>\n \n Matches played\n <\/p>\n M<\/p>\n \n Wins\n <\/p>\n W<\/p>\n \n Losses\n <\/p>\n L<\/p>\n \n Ties\n <\/p>\n T<\/p>\n \n No results\n <\/p>\n N\/R<\/p>\n \n Net Run Rate\n <\/p>\n NRR<\/p>\n \n Deductions\n <\/p>\n Ded.<\/p>\n \n Total points\n <\/p>\n PTS<\/p>\n 1 7 2 7 3 7 4 7 5 6 6 6 7 7 8 7 Legend<\/p>\n M: Matches played<\/p>\n W: Wins<\/p>\n L: Losses<\/p>\n T: Ties<\/p>\n N\/R: No results<\/p>\n NRR: Net Run Rate<\/p>\n Ded.: Deductions<\/p>\n PTS: Total points<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Get all the latest team news and broadcast details as the Hurricanes host the Strikers in Hobart Match…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":400193,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[43,44,83,41,39,42,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-400192","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-text","11":"tag-top-news","12":"tag-top-stories","13":"tag-topnews","14":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=400192"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/400192\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/400193"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=400192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=400192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=400192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
