Overseas star Tim Seifert also crafted a calculated half-century at the top of the order.
Hobart Hurricanes managed to register just four wins out of their six league matches last season. Failing to qualify for the knockouts, the Hurricanes finished fifth on the points table and held a moderate NRR of -0.268. For the Hurricanes, Ben McDermott and Macalister Wright will start out as some of the primary in-form players with the bat this time around.
