11:44 AM IST For the Hobart Hurricanes, it was a tough day at the office, with simply not enough runs on the board to apply real pressure. Their bowling unit struggled to contain the flow of runs, and aside from Rishad Hossain, who was the lone warrior picking up the only two wickets. They failed to make further inroads. It was a comprehensive defeat in the end, and the Hurricanes will be eager to put this defensive lapse behind them and bounce back in the next game.
