Strikers vs Hurricanes, 24th Match at Hobart, BBL, Jan 05 2025 - Match Result

way outside off. Left alone by David and that is an easy call for the umpire

another shoddy effort on the fence, and that sums up how the last few minutes have gone for the Strikers! Full toss on the stumps. Chaudhary unfurls the sweep and laces it towards deep square leg. Weatherald seems to dive over it and the ball pin-balls off his body before trickling into the fence!
