HBH vs SYD Team Previews
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.

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.

Pitch and Conditions
The pitch at the NTCA ground is excellent to bat on. While not many BBL matches are played here, the average first-inning score in the two WBBL matches played this year is 180. There is plenty of space and bounce on offer and the batsmen will be able to play their shots easily. However, the pitch does become a bit two-paced in the second half, helping the spinners. The weather at Launceston is likely to be clear for the most part, with temperatures of around 20 degrees Celsius.
HBH vs SYD Betting Tips
Both, the Sydney Sixers and the Hobart Hurricanes are quality teams and there is no clear favorite to win this match. However, after seeing their performance in the opening match, we feel that the Sydney Sixers have a slight edge in this match. They have a strong batting line-up that can take advantage of the conditions and also have a strong seam attack.
Bet on the Sydney Sixers to win.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Jordan Silk is an explosive batsman in the middle order and has a BBL career strike rate of 125.18. He looked in good touch during the team’s opening fixture as he hit two 6s in that game. We are backing him to do so again.
The NTCA Stadium offers an excellent batting surface and the boundaries aren’t the biggest either. Looking at the quality of batting on both sides, we are predicting plenty of big hits.
Patrick Dooley had an excellent outing last season as he picked up 19 wickets at a bowling strike rate of 11.60. As the pitch in Launceston is likely to aid the spinners, we are backing him to have a good outing.
