Strikers vs Hurricanes season by season

The 2017-18 season holds the most important meeting. On 4 Feb 2018 at Adelaide Oval, the Strikers beat the Hurricanes by 25 runs in the BBL final, with Jake Weatherald making 115 off 70 balls.
Adelaide then won both games in 2023-24, a run of three straight wins. Hobart turned it around at once, sweeping 2024-25 by 11 runs and 5 wickets and winning the only 2025-26 meeting. Each franchise’s full story sits on the Hurricanes club records and the Strikers’ BBL page.
