This will be the seventh game of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2024-25. Hobart Hurricanes will challenge the Perth Scorchers at the Bellerive Oval. The match will start on 21st December 2024 at 10:30 AM IST.
Hobart Hurricanes got bundled out for just 74 runs in their first game of this season. Their batters will face another big challenge against Perth’s top-class pace attack. Hobart’s batting is not giving a lot of promise and the big names like Matthew Wade, Shai Hope, Tim David and Ben McDermott must step up in this game.
Perth Scorchers, meanwhile, won the first game of this season against the Stars. Josh Inglis’ inclusion will further bolster their batting. They have the best pace attack in the tournament and they’ll be looking for another good performance in this match. They will be eyeing their second consecutive win.
