Cameron Bancroft makes his return to top-flight cricket as the Perth Scorchers travel to Launceston and try to get their season back on track against the Hobart Hurricanes. Join The Roar for live scores and coverage from 7:15pm (AEDT).
After spending nine months on the sidelines following the ball-tampering debacle in South Africa, Bancroft has been rushed straight into the Scorchers squad.
It’s been a tale of differing fortunes early on this season for the Scorchers and Hurricanes, but ones neither team were expected to have before the season got underway.
The Scorchers, who have an unbelievably stacked roster and were widely tipped to take out the competition have got off to a stuttering start, picking up just a single win from their first three games.
A first up loss to the Melbourne Renegades was a cause for concern, but losing to the Sydney Sixers in their second game would have had alarm bells ringing.
In saying all of that, it’s early days in the new season and with 14 games this time around, there is plenty of time for a recovery effort to be staged, particularly with a lot of home games later in the season.
Their effort in beating the Adelaide Strikers was positive last time out, but it’s hard to get a read given they bowled first on a green top and only chased down 88 with two overs to spare.
There is plenty of pressure on the Scorchers to get things rolling, but the Hurricanes aren’t going to be any sort of push over based on the way they have started the season.
While the Scorchers sit seventh, the Hurricanes have cruised up to top spot on the table with three from three on the back of a firing batting order and economical bowling attack.
They got out of prison in their last start over the Sydney Thunder though with some woeful death bowling allowing Matthew Wade, D’Arcy Short and George Bailey to hit them to a successful chase of 193.
Their other wins, over the Melbourne Stars and Brisbane Heat, were both fairly convincing and their batting order has been in stunning form with the experienced trio leading the way.
This will be their biggest test yet though, with the Scorchers having one of the best bowling and fielding teams in the competition. It’s runs which have been the problem for Perth so far.
But, with Matthew Wade continuing his Shield form, he must be stopped first if the Scorchers are to have a chance.
Prediction
Perth are a professional outfit and Hobart are due for a loss, so I’m taking the Scorchers.
