Hope's breezy 37 assists Hobart Hurricanes to thrilling 11-run victory over Adelaide Strikers

West Indies batsman Shai Hope played a crucial role in setting the foundation for the Hobart Hurricanes’ highest total of the Big Bash League (BBL) season, as they secured a nail-biting 11-run victory over the Adelaide Strikers at the Adelaide Oval on Friday.

Hope’s breezy 37 off 22 balls provided the early impetus for the Hurricanes, who later powered to a daunting 214-5, courtesy of Tim David’s explosive 33 off 14 balls and Ben McDermott’s stunning 68 off 34 balls.
