The Hobart Hurricanes return to Big Bash action tomorrow night against the Adelaide Strikers, following a decent break since their last game against the Sydney Thunder on Saturday.
In their first game against Tim Paine's Adelaide Strikers in BBL|15, the Hurricanes will be looking to continue their good form, which has them on top of the BBL standings.
After winning the toss, the Sydney Thunder went on to score 4-205, but not without an exciting start to Will Prestwidge's Hurricanes career, as he took two wickets in his first two balls.
Openers Mitch Owen (45 off 18) and Tim Ward (90 off 49) got the Hurricanes off to a flyer in their batting innings, before Nikhil Chaudhary (29* off 14) and Matt Wade (13* off 5) guided the 'Cane Train home with 13 balls to spare, getting them back on the winner's list.
The Hurricanes squad sees no changes from their match against the Thunder, with the same 14-player squad selected to play against the Strikers.
Jake Weatherald and Beau Webster will likely be available for the next match against the Sydney Sixers on Sunday, with the Ashes wrapping up today.
