Hurricanes sealed their playoff berth on Sunday without registering a win, as their match was abandoned due to rain. Winning the toss in Sydney, Hobart opted to bowl first. Sydney managed 32 runs without loss in five overs before rain interrupted play. Persistent rain eventually forced the match to be called off.
Both teams shared a point each, which was enough to make Hobart Hurricanes the first team to qualify for the playoffs. With 13 points from nine matches, they sit comfortably at the top of the points table.
Rishad has played a crucial role in this success. The young leg-spinner has taken 11 wickets in nine matches, making him the highest wicket-taker for Hurricanes this season. Among all spinners in the ongoing BBL, Rishad currently leads the wicket-taking charts.
