Hobart Hurricanes have won the toss and have opted to field
18:25 Local Time, 07:25 GMT, 12:55 IST: It's a top-of-the-table clash as the Hurricanes host the Thunder at the Bellerive Oval. Both teams have 9 points each and the Canes have a match in hand, placing them firmly in the mix for a spot in the playoffs. The return fixture was ruined by rain a few days ago and both teams will be egging to go tonight at the Blundstone Arena. Injuries and overseas reinforcements have meant that Thunder will have new members in their squad for tonight's game. On the other hand, the Canes have relied more on balance rather than individual brilliance. A win today will get them one step closer towards nailing a spot in the playoffs. Flip of the bat and team sheets coming up shortly..
