HBH vs SYT
Winning Prediction

Both Teams are down on confidence with more losses in their recent 3-4 matches. Hobart hurricanes batting unit will be boosted by the return of Short and they have a quality line-up with the likes of Wade, Miller, and McDermott.

Sydney thunder lacks the firepower to match the Hurricanes with the bat. But, Thunder`s bowlers have performed better than the Hurricanes so far.

We expect Hobart Hurricanes to win this match!
