Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Sixers Match Pitch Report
A drop-in pitch is used at Launceston. The average score has been relatively low at this ground and it is a challenging surface but once set at the crease, batters can score much more freely.
The pitch at North Tasmania Cricket Association Ground is favorable to both batters and bowlers. Fast bowlers will get more help in the early stages of the game with better pace and bouncers. However, as the innings progresses, the pitch becomes easier for the batters. A high-scoring encounter can be expected when Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Sixers take on each other.
What to expect:
Team news:
Hobart Hurricanes: The Hurricanes weren’t in the best of forms last season as they managed to win just 6 of the 14 matches they played and as a result, did not make it to the playoffs. As the team embarks on a fresh journey, they will chase the elusive title once again.
While Hobart has retained some of its core players like Nathan Ellis, Tim David, Matthew McDermott, and Matthew Wade, they have also some new faces in a bid to strengthen the squad. The team has brought in Sam Hain and Corey Anderson to strengthen its batting line-up.
While Hain is a stable batsman in the middle order, Anderson will join Caleb Jewell in the role of a finisher. Add to that the striking power of Matthew Wade and Tim David, and the Hurricanes have a strong batting line-up. The team already had a strong seam attack consisting of Nathan Ellis and Riley Meredith.
They have reinforced it further by bringing in Chris Jordan and Billy Stanlake, with the latter coming in from Melbourne Stars. Patrick Dooley was among the top wicket-takers of the team last season and will be joined by Peter Hatzoglou in the spin department.
Hobart Hurricanes Key Players
- Ben McDermott- the keeper-batter has a brilliant BBL record and also comes into this game in strong form including a half-century in the final T20I against India and a century in the Marsh Cup over his last three innings.
- Matthew Wade- the skipper led Australia during the T20I series against India and produced some excellent scores at the end of the innings. However, he is likely to bat higher up the order in this match.
- Nathan Ellis- the Australian white ball international has a striker rate of 12.5 from 12 T20Is. He is vastly experienced with 152 T20 wickets across his career.
- Riley Meredith- the tall left-arm quick bowler had struggled with fitness earlier this summer but is now fully fit and ready to build on his best T20 bowling figures of 4/21 in this match.
Probable XI: Caleb Jewell, Ben McDermott, Matthew Wade (c) (wk), Sam Hain, Tim David, Corey Anderson, Chris Jordan, Nathan Ellis, Patrick Dooley, Riley Meredith, Billy Stanlake
Hobart Hurricanes Squad: Caleb Jewell, Macalister Wright, Ben McDermott, Tim David, Matthew Wade(w/c), Nathan Ellis, Riley Meredith, Nikhil Chaudhary, Chris Jordan, Sam Hain, Corey Anderson, Billy Stanlake, Sam Heazlett, Liam Guthrie, Mitchell Owen, Peter Hatzoglou, Patrick Dooley, Iain Carlisle
Sydney Sixers: The Sydney Sixers made a winning start to their campaign, defeating the Melbourne Renegades by 8 runs in the opening fixture. They will now look to continue with the momentum.
Steve Smith was in fine form as he scored 61 runs from just 42 deliveries to give the team a brisk start. However, he is unlikely to be available for almost a month now due to the upcoming Test series against Pakistan. In such a case, Josh Philippe is likely to be joined by Kurtis Patterson at the top of the order.
The middle order consists of batsmen like James Vince, Moises Henriques, and Jordan Silk, all of whom are clean strikers of the ball. It was a disciplined bowling effort by the Sixers in their opening fixture. Ben Dwarshuis was the top wicket-taker with 3 wickets and was well supported by Sean Abbott and Jackson Bird, who picked up a wicket each.
They will be supported by Tom Curran and Jack Edwards in the seam department. The spin unit does appear quite weak with Steve O’Keefe being the only specialist spinner on the squad.
Sydney Sixers Key Players
- Josh Philippe- the keeper-batter is always in an aggressive mode at the top of the order and he comes into this match after hitting five fours and one six against Melbourne Renegades.
- Moises Henriques- the skipper is a very consistent and reliable batter in the BBL and he began this campaign with 40 runs from 32 balls from the number four position.
- Sean Abbott- the bowling all-rounder continues to dismiss batters on a very regular basis in this tournament. He got the big wicket of Aaron Finch against the Renegades.
- Ben Dwarshuis- the right-arm fast-medium bowler enjoyed the recent T20I tour of India and then got off to an excellent start in the BBL with figures of 3/36 in Match 2.
Probable XI: Josh Philippe(w), James Vince, Jordan Silk, Moises Henriques(c), Tom Curran, Jack Edwards, Ben Dwarshuis, Jackson Bird, Steve OKeefe, Joel Davies, Daniel Hughes
Sydney Sixers Squad: Josh Philippe(w), James Vince, Jordan Silk, Moises Henriques(c), Tom Curran, Jack Edwards, Ben Dwarshuis, Jackson Bird, Steve OKeefe, Joel Davies, Daniel Hughes, Todd Murphy, Kurtis Patterson, Mitchell Perry

Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Sixers Match Both Team Top Batsmen
Hobart Hurricanes, Tim David, Ben McDermott, and Matthew Wade are our batting tips. David is world-renowned for his high strike-rate with the bat and he has hit 3945 T20 runs in his career. Wade has a top T20 score of 130 not out from 213 innings.
For Sydney Sixers, James Vince, Josh Phillipe, and Moises Henriques are our selections with the bat for Sydney Sixers. Vince arrived just in time from the Abu Dhabi T10 for the opening match of the campaign and should be better prepared for this game. Philippe’s highest BBL score is 99 not out and he has hit 17 T20 half-centuries.
Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Sixers Match Both Team Top Team Bowlers
Nathan Ellis, Riley Meredith, and Billy Stanlake are our bowling choices for Hobart Hurricanes. Stanlake is very tall and bowls at pace. He will get movement from this wicket and could be tough to face on Monday. Ellis has six 4-wicket hauls across his T20 career.
Our bowling selections for Sydney Sixers are Sean Abbott, Ben Dwarshuis, and Steve O’Keefe. The experienced spinner O’Keefe added another wicket to his BBL tally with the dismissal of Jonathan Wells on Friday. Dwarshuis is in excellent form with eight wickets from his last three appearances.
