Brisbane Heat vs Hobart Hurricanes Preview
The Heat remain winless on the season following their agonising two-run loss to the Strikers at the Gabba on Wednesday night.
The short turnaround makes this a difficult proposition for Brisbane, particularly against a Hurricanes side that has enjoyed a week off following their win against the Renegades last week.
Hobart has opened the season 3-1, but this does shape up to be an interesting contest as the visitors play outside of Tasmania for the first time this season.
The Canes have defeated Brisbane in 10 of their previous 16 meetings, but they won’t hold particularly fond memories of this Heat outfit after losing to them twice last year.
It’s still early, but this is almost a ‘now or never’ game for Brisbane, and after showing steady improvement against Adelaide last week, I’m with them to get one on the board.
