HBH vs SYT Match Prediction & Analysis
Match 29 of the BBL 2024-25 will see Hobart Hurricanes face off against Sydney Thunder at Bellerive Oval this Friday. Their previous encounter at ENGIE Stadium on Wednesday was rained out, preventing either team from moving to the top of the Big Bash League ladder. With one competition point each, the second-placed Thunder and third-placed Hurricanes are currently tied with the Sydney Sixers, who hold the top spot due to a superior net run rate. This rematch offers the winner a chance to ascend to the top of the standings if other results go their way.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Hobart Hurricanes Preview
After a disastrous start – bowled out for 74 against the Renegades in their season opener – Hobart Hurricanes have finally found their groove, winning four in a row. They're now in a good position to make the finals for the first time in three seasons, with just four games remaining.
Apart from Matthew Wade, who has a top score of 27, their top six batters have all been in form at different times. Emerging star Mitch Owen hit an unbeaten 101 against the Scorchers, the best knock of the season so far. Ben McDermott is another player to keep an eye on, with 124 runs in 5 innings at a strike rate of 149. Tim David has also shown he can dominate any attack, as seen in his 62* off 28 balls against the Strikers.
Hurricanes' bowling has been a real shared effort, with captain Nathan Ellis, Riley Meredith, import Chris Jordan, and Billy Stanlake all chipping in with key wickets.
Afghan spinner Waqar Salamkheil and West Indies batter Shai Hope will no longer be available for the Hurricanes as they get ready to participate in the UAE's T20 competition. Left-arm spinner Paddy Dooley will have to fill in for Salamkheil.
HH Over/Under Betting Tips
Owen has been in fine form this season, amassing 189 runs in 5 matches (including 1 hundred and 2 scores of 30 or more). A solid top-order batter with a positive mindset and attacking approach, he has demolished opponent teams whenever he has played at Hobart, smashing 171 runs in 4 matches and averaging 57.
Hobart Hurricanes Predicted Playing XI:
Nathan Ellis (c), Nikhil Chaudhary, Tim David, Paddy Dooley, Peter Hatzoglou, Chris Jordan, Ben McDermott, Riley Meredith, Mitch Owen, Billy Stanlake, Matthew Wade (wk)
Hobart Hurricanes Actual Playing XI:

Sydney Thunder Preview
Even though their previous game was called off, Sydney Thunder are in a strong position to finish in the top four. Their batting has been in top form, with captain David Warner leading the charge. Warner has scored 228 runs in 6 innings, with an average of 45.60 and a strike rate of 146.15.
Teenage Test opener Sam Konstas is back for the Thunder after Australia's Border-Gavaskar Trophy win, providing a much-needed boost as the team deals with several injuries.
Another batter to keep an eye on is Sam Billings, who has been in fine form, hitting 149 runs in 6 innings at an average of 144.66. Matthew Gilkes has been impressive in the three games he has played.
The Thunder's bowling attack is spearheaded by Chris Green, who has taken 8 wickets in 6 innings at an economy rate of 8.29. Wes Agar has also been a standout performer, taking 8 wickets, making their bowling lineup both potent and well-rounded. New Zealand speedster Lockie Ferguson has left to participate in the ILT20. Pakistan quick Muhammad Hasnain is set to replace him.
ST Over/Under Betting Tips
Coming off an impressive Test debut and a couple of weeks against India in the BGT 2024-25, Konstas will be riding high on confidence and he is likely to dominate against the fast bowling attack of the Hobart Hurricanes and get the Thunder off to a good start.
Warner has scored 50, 49, 86, 19, and 17 runs in his last five BBL innings. Over the last three games, the southpaw has scored over 40 runs in each game. The conditions at the Bellerive Oval favor the batters, which should bode well for David Warner's performance with the bat.
Sydney Thunder Predicted Playing XI:
David Warner (c), Wes Agar, Tom Andrews, Sam Billings wk), Dan Christian, Ollie Davies, Muhammad Hasnain, Matt Gilkes, Chris Green, Sam Konstas, Nathan McAndrew
Sydney Thunder Actual Playing XI:
Oliver Davies, David Warner, Sam Konstas, Chris Green, Matthew Gilkes, Sam Billings, Wes Agar, Tom Andrews, Daniel Christian, George Garton, Mohammad Hasnain
PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Bellerive Oval often offers a good batting surface, particularly early in the match. Expect decent pace and carry, allowing batters to play their shots. Spinners may find some turn later on, especially if the pitch is dry, but it's usually not a significant factor. The shorter straight boundaries can be tempting targets for big hitters. Overhead conditions can play a role, with any cloud cover potentially assisting swing bowlers.
The weather in Hobart during the game is expected to be mostly cloudy and cool, with no forecast of rain.

HBH vs SYT
Winning Prediction
This match is massive for both Sydney Thunder and Hobart Hurricanes, with both teams desperate for a win to boost their chances of finishing at the top. The Thunder, though, are facing a tough time with a bunch of injuries – it'll be interesting to see how they manage without some key players. On the other hand, the Hurricanes are on a roll, chasing their fifth win in a row. They're looking seriously strong right now, with almost everyone on the team stepping up. Given the setup of both teams at the moment, you'd have to say the Hurricanes are the favorites in this clash.
