Nathan Ellis' team has been consistent this season and finished on the top of the points table. The team didn't end the league stage as they would have liked and went down against the Melbourne Stars in their last game by 40 runs. The bowling attack has struggled in the last few games, and Ellis would expect a strong show from his players, especially the bowling attack, and reach the final.
The team expects a strong start from Caleb Jewell and Mitchell Owen in this game, as they will face a strong bowling attack. The middle order is strong, and the side expects good performances from Charlie Wakim, Nikhil Chaudhary, and Ben McDermott as they have added runs in most games. Matthew Wade and Tim David will look to power the team to a big score with their hitting abilities.
The bowling attack has struggled in the last two games, and the team expects a strong show in the early overs from Marcus Bean and Riley Meredith. They can’t afford to leak runs with the new ball in this game. Nathan Ellis must bring his experience to play and do well in the middle overs with Mitchell Owen. Chaudhary and Chris Jordan add to the side's bowling options.
The Hurricanes are averaging 14 fours per game this season. In their last three head-to-head matches against the Sixers, they smashed 14, 12, and 18 fours, respectively. Both teams enter this contest on the back of some high-scoring games, and we predict this game to be another high-scoring affair where the Hurricanes will hit more than 13 4's.
Mitchell Owen has been a star with the bat for the Hurricanes at the top of the order this season. He scored 308 runs in 9 matches and has scored over 30 runs in six of them. At Hobart, he has scored 208 runs in five matches and has scored over 21 runs four times.

Moises Henriques' team shared points with the Sydney Thunder in the last game after rain played spoilsport. The side has finished second on the points table with 14 points. After a good start, they struggled midseason but found their form back in the last few games. It will be a tough contest for the team against the Hurricanes, who are in good form. Henriques would like a strong show from his players after suffering a big loss against the Hurricanes in the league stage.
Steven Smith has batted well this season, and the team expects a good show from him, with Josh Philippe at the top. Henriques will look to steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Jack Edwards and Jordan Silk. The side enjoys depth in the batting and expects good performances from Lachlan Shaw, Hayden Kerr, and Ben Dwarshuis.
The bowling attack will feel the heat in this game, as the Hobart Hurricanes have a strong batting lineup. The team needs good spells with the new ball from Jack Edwards and Hayden Kerr. Ben Dwarshuis and Todd Murphy are the most experienced bowlers and must do well in the middle of the innings. Sean Abbott and Jafer Chohan look forward to excelling in the supporting role.
Henriques has scored 206 runs in 9 matches this season, where he has been the enforcer in the middle order for the Sixers. With Steve Smith unavailable for this crucial game, an additional responsibility falls on Henriques with the bat, and he is expected to bat at number 3 for this game. We back him to come good in this all-important fixture and play a match-winning knock for the Sixers.

Hobart will have overcast skies, and batsmen will find the conditions challenging early in the game when the ball does a bit. The ball will come onto the bat nicely, allowing stroke play. The average first-innings score is 158 runs, and a score of 170 or more would be a fighting total at this venue.

Average TurnBellerive Oval, Hobart, is a small venue, and the short square boundaries offer scoring opportunities to the batsmen. The wicket offers early assistance to the fast bowlers, who have done well here. There is little on this surface for the spinners, who have gone for runs.
Sydney Sixers won 9 of the 10 coin tosses this season, while Hobart Hurricanes has managed to win just five of the 10 coin tosses this season. For today's match we are backing Sydney Sixers to Win the Coin Toss.
The average total match score in the last five BBL matches played at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart, is 319 runs. Two of the five matches have resulted in scores of over 325 runs. However, today's match is expected to be a high-scoring affair, given the phenomenal form of both teams' batting units and the fact that the pitches have gotten better for batting as the season progressed.
This season, the team chasing the score has won four out of five games at this venue. The wicket is good to bat on in the second half, but the bowlers have had a good run in the first innings. Hence, the side that wins the toss in this game will likely opt for bowling first.
The Sydney Sixers lost against the Hobart Hurricanes by a big margin earlier in the season. It will be on their minds, as well as the fact that the Hurricanes have won all five games at this venue. The bowling attack must be on its toes for the side to win. The Hurricanes have a strong batting lineup that can tear any opposition. We expect a close game, but the Hurricanes will start ahead.
