Preview

Since being "Maxwelled" in their opening game against Kings XI Punjab, Hobart have produced comprehensive back-to-back victories over Northern Districts and Cape Cobras and one more win would see the plucky Australians make the last four.

Their strength lies in a slick batting unit which features the likes of Aidan Blizzard, Ben Dunk and Shoaib Malik but any of the top-six are capable of clearing the ropes.

While a bowling line-up, headed by Doug Bollinger and Ben Hilfenhaus, boasts plenty of international experience and nous.

In particular, Xavier Doherty has proved difficult to get away, delivering eight overs for less than six runs a time and collecting two wickets in the process.

Despite a stunning ton from Jonathan Carter, their opponents, the Barbados Tridents, are all but out of the CLT20 after losing both of their games, including a heartbreaking one-over eliminator defeat against the Cobras.

Runs clearly aren't the problem, though, as Rayad Emrit's men have posted 174 twice...totals that will win a high proportion of games.

But Jeevan Mendis aside, they have struggled to keep the opposition under control with Ravi Rampaul—normally a miserly T20 bowler—being extremely expensive.

The Tridents still possess some dangerous players however, with Carter, Raymon Reifer and Dilshan Munaweera all batsmen who enjoy hitting a very long ball and shouldn't be underestimated.

Squads

Barbados Tridents (from): Rayad Emrit (capt), Jonathan Carter, Elton Chigumbura, Shane Dowrich, James Franklin, Jason Holder, Akeal Hosein, Neil McKenzie, Kyle Mayers, Jeevan Mendis, Dilshan Munaweera, Ashley Nurse, William Perkins, Ravi Rampaul, Raymon Reifer

Hobart Hurricanes (from): Tim Paine (capt), Jonathan Wells, Evan Gulbis, Xavier Doherty, Ben Hilfenhaus, Dominic Michael, Sam Rainbird, Travis Birt, Doug Bollinger, Aiden Blizzard, Cameron Boyce, Joe Mennie, Ben Laughlin, Ben Dunk, Shoaib Malik

Players to Watch

Barbados Tridents

Jonathan Carter lit up the Punjab Cricket Association against the Cape Cobras with a blistering 111 off just 68 balls. The big-hitting left-hander hasn't represented the West Indies yet, but a few more notable innings like the one on Friday, could see this change quickly.

Hobart Hurricanes

Aiden Blizzard has unleashed a deluge of runs so far in the CLT20 with rapid half-centuries in both of Hobart's games. Coming in to bat at number three, the 30-year-old is a crucial part of the Hurricanes potent top six.

Prediction

On paper Hobart look to be too settled and experienced for the Tridents, who will be relying on a spectacularly one-off effort if they are to have any chance. Expect a comfortable victory for the Hurricanes.
