Big Bash League Cricket Match Prediction 2023-24 | Match 5 | Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Sixers – Let’s see who will win | Dec 11

Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Sixers Match Analysis

The Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricanes will square off in the fifth game of the 2023 Big Bash League on Monday night in Launceston. Hobart Hurricanes will be participating in the event for the first time this year, while Sydney Sixers defeated Melbourne Renegades at the SCG on Friday. At 19:15 local time, the match begins.

A very good core of players has been assembled by the Hobart Hurricanes in advance of this year’s event. They do, however, face a formidable opponent who has already won their opening match. To have a chance to win this game, the Hurricanes must get off to a strong start.

The Sydney Sixers are an excellent BBL team, and they proved they could win a close game to start the season. They should have enough talent to make it two wins from two, even without Steve Smith for this match.

Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Sixers Team Preview & Squads

Hobart Hurricanes

Since none of its players are injured, the Hurricanes have benefited from having to wait patiently for their BBL 2023 opener. Additionally, they don’t have any players on international duty, so on Monday they can choose their best lineup.

The keeper-batter, Ben McDermott, is coming into this match in excellent form, having scored a century in the Marsh Cup over his last three innings and a half-century in the final Twenty20 International against India. He has an outstanding BBL record. Australia’s captain, Matthew Wade, led the team during the Twenty20 International Series against India and finished the innings with some fantastic runs. He will probably bat higher in the order in this game, though.

After 12 Twenty20 Internationals, Australian white ball player Nathan Ellis has a striker rate of 12.5. His career total of 152 T20 wickets gives him plenty of expertise. Tall left-arm quick bowler Riley Meredith, who had fitness issues earlier in the summer, is now healthy and prepared to improve on his best T20 bowling performance of 4/21 in this game.

Sydney Sixers

Due to the impending First Test against Pakistan, Steve Smith—who won Player of the Match with 61 runs from 42 balls in the victory over Melbourne Renegades in Match 2—is not available. Todd Murphy, a spinner, will be available for this match, though.

The keeper-battler Josh Philippe, who entered this game having struck five fours and one six against the Melbourne Renegades, is always in an aggressive mood at the top of the order. The BBL’s captain, Moises Henriques, is a very dependable and steady batsman. He started the season with 40 runs from 32 balls while batting at number four.

In this tournament, bowling all-rounder Sean Abbott has been dismissing hitters very consistently. Against the Renegades, he secured the crucial wicket of Aaron Finch. The right-arm quick medium bowler Ben Dwarshuis had a great time on his most recent T20I tour of India. He then started the BBL with great stats in Match 2, bowling 3/36.

Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Sixers outfield report 

North Tasmania Cricket Association Ground

At this location, just 40% of teams that field first have won T20 cricket matches. Therefore, we anticipate that in this match, both captains will decide to bat first. 

It’s going to be rather humid, but Monday night in Tasmania won’t be particularly warm. There’s a good probability of intermittent showers and a high of 11 degrees.

Because of the short borders, high-scoring games are common in Launceston. Nevertheless, fast bowlers can also take advantage of the dampness that is frequently present on the pitch.
