Perth win toss, bat first in BBL v Hobart

| December 14, 2021

The Hobart Hurricanes and Perth Scorchers have included some big guns for their Big Bash League clash at Bellerive Oval.

Perth, who are two-from-two to start the tournament, won the toss on Tuesday night and elected to bat first.

They welcome back allrounder Mitch Marsh and wicketkeeper Josh Inglis from Australia A duties, while England quick Tymal Mills plays his first match of the competition.

Scorchers opener Cameron Bancroft has been axed despite scoring 45 in their last-start win over the Adelaide Strikers.

Hobart have included Ben McDermott, returning from a groin injury, as well as young import Harry Brook and veteran quick Scott Boland, who both played in last week’s England A v Australia A fixture.

The Hurricanes are 1-1 to start the BBL.

Hurricanes: Matthew Wade (c, wk), D’Arcy Short, Ben McDermott, Harry Brook, Caleb Jewell, Peter Handscomb, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Joel Paris, Scott Boland, Sandeep Lamichhane.

Scorchers: Colin Munro, Kurtis Patterson, Mitch Marsh, Josh Inglis (wk), Ashton Turner (c), Laurie Evans, Ashton Agar, Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, Peter Hatzoglou, Tymal Mills.
