BBL - Hurricanes v Heat

Clean strikes and raw power are the best ways to describe Short's batting. Short is the leading run scorer in the 2018 BBL. His 122 off 69 against the Heat, 97 off 63 against the Thunder and 96 off 58 against the Strikers are testimony to his hitting ability. With a whopping 22 sixes in 8 games and a batting average of 70.43, Short's explosive batting has been an important asset for the Hobart Hurricanes.

He also doubles up as a bowling option for George Bailey and has an impressive economy rate of 7.08. Short is definitely among the front-runners for the MVP of the season and may be a top choice for many teams in the IPL.
