Hobart Hurricanes bowling take them to the eliminator in the WBBL|8 but their batting department let them down to win the WBBL 2022.
Again Hobart Hurricanes added firepower in their bowling lineup by picking Shabnim Ismail as overseas player. Molly Strano, Heather Garaham, Nicole Carey, Ruth Johnston were the proven bowling attack that win them many games in WBBL|8.
In batting, Hobart Hurricanes has batting firepower in top order with likes of Lee and Villani as openers. Then Bryony Smith at no. 3. After that Heather Graham, Naomi Stalenberg, Nicola Carey, Ruth Johnston.
This time team is balanced one. Hope to see them in the playoffs if their team combination clicked.
