Sydney Sixers

Team News

Sam Billings, signed up for the team in November and will be playing for the Sydney Sixers. Although, he will not be available for the later stage of the tournament season because of the England vs India ODI series in January 2017. Apart from him, Daniel Hughes, Joe Mennie, Jason Roy have also joined the team.
Key Players

Daniel Hughes, Jason Roy, and captain Moises Henriques were the top scorers in the match against Thunders. Brad Haddin, one of the top scorers from last season is also in good form and is expected to score big runs for his team. The bowling side performed well too, with all bowlers pitching in to stop Thunders from scoring. Doug Bollinger, Joe Mennie, Ben Dwarshuis took the most, 2 wickets each. The team put in a combined effort that won them the match against the last season winners.
Recent Form

Sydney Sixers were on the bottom of the points table in the last season, but have started the new season with a big win against the last season’s winner Sydney Thunders. They needed a positive kickstart to write off the last season and this first win has certainly boosted up the morale of the team.

Hobart

Team News

Stuart Broad is the newest addition to the Hurricanes squad and he will be playing with the team for the whole season. Hamish Kingston was also added to the squad, transferred from the Adelaide Strikers.

Key Players

George Bailey, Dan Christian and Tim Paine scored the highest runs for Hobart Hurricanes in the previous season and tried with their best efforts to rise the team’s level on the points table, but failed. Cameron Boyce and Shaun Tait were the top bowlers for Hobart Hurricanes last term in an otherwise weak bowling side. Both batting and bowling sides will have to work really hard this season to wipe off last season’s memories and start a winning streak in order to win the tournament.

Recent Form

Hobart Hurricanes were on the seventh position out of 8 teams, just above Sydney Sixers in the last season. They, too, will have to dial up their game if they want to do better in the tournament in this season.

Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes Head To Head

Sydney Sixers and Hobart Hurricanes have gone head to head just once in the last season, where Sydney Sixers won by a smashing margin of 95 runs. Both batting and bowling departments of Sydney Sixers played admirably and the team will be hoping to replicate that performance in this match.

Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes Betting Odds

Sydney Sixers are the preferred team to place your bets on in this match, as they are playing on their home ground and have a strong bowling side, their odds being 1.80 with betfair and bet365. Hobart Hurricanes, on the other hand are also coming from a bad season, just like Sydney Sixers, and will be hoping to turn the game around this time, their odds are at 2.0 with betfair and bet365.

Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes Prediction

Last season of the tournament did not go well for both teams and they will be hoping for an exact opposite result this season. There are additions of players in both sides that will be effective for the teams in the path of winning matches and hopefully, the tournament as well. Sydney Sixers also have a psychological edge over Hobart hurricanes because they defeated them by a huge margin in the only game the two teams played against each other in the last season. The Sixers are also coming off a big win against the last season’s winner in the first match of this season, which has the team really pumped up to take on the tournament in a strong manner.

Sydney Sixers have a better bowling side than Hobart Hurricanes and we predict them to win this match.
