TEAMS PREVIEW

Sydney Sixers Preview

Moises Henriques' team crushed the Melbourne Stars by 6 wickets in the last game. It was a clinical performance by the team, as they restricted the opponents to a small total and chased the target easily. The Hobart Hurricanes will pose a difficult challenge for the team in this game, and Henriques would expect a strong show from his players to win and move up on the points table. 

Babar Azam hasn't set the stage on fire, and the star batter must deliver a good start in the game with Moises Henriques. In the middle order, the team expects fireworks from Josh Philippe, Steven Smith, and Jordan Silk. Sam Curran, Jack Edwards, and Joel Davies will look to do the big hitting in the lower middle order. 

The bowling attack will feel the heat, as the Hobart Hurricanes have a strong batting lineup. The team needs good spells with the new ball from Ben Manenti and Sean Abbott. Ben Dwarshuis bowled brilliantly in the last game, and he must bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Jack Edwards. Sam Curran and Joel Davies must do well in the supporting role.

Sydney Sixers Predicted Playing XI:

Moises Henriques (c), Josh Philippe (wk), Babar Azam, Steven Smith, Jordan Silk, Sam Curran, Jack Edwards, Joel Davies, Ben Manenti, Ben Dwarshuis, Sean Abbott

Sydney Sixers Actual Playing XI:

Babar Azam, Jack Edwards, Steven Smith, Moises Henriques, Sam Curran, Josh Philippe, Lachlan Shaw, Sean Abbott, Joel Davies, Ben Dwarshuis, Benjamin Manenti

Hobart Hurricanes Preview

Nathan Ellis' team has put itself at the top of the points table with a 6-wicket win over Sydney Thunder. The side looked rock solid in the last game as they chased a big total. However, the bowling attack went for runs in the last game, and Ellis would like to improve on that. Another win will put them in a strong position for the next round, and the Hurricanes' skipper would like a strong show from his players.  

Tim Ward played an electrifying knock in the last game, and he will look to deliver a solid start with Mitchell Owen. The team expects a strong middle-order show from Ben McDermott, Rehan Ahmed, and Nikhil Chaudhary. Matthew Wade is a good finisher, and he will look to add quick runs in the death overs with Chris Jordan and Will Prestwidge. 

The bowling attack didn't execute its plans in the last game. The team needs Will Prestwidge and Riley Meredith to make early inroads into the Sydney Sixers' batting. Nathan Ellis and Rishad Hossain must bowl tight spells in the middle overs. The team expects strong performances from Chris Jordan and Rehan Ahmed in supporting roles.

Hobart Hurricanes Predicted Playing XI:

Nathan Ellis (c), Mitchell Owen, Tim Ward, Nikhil Chaudhary, Ben McDermott, Matthew Wade (wk), Rehan Ahmed, Chris Jordan, Will Prestwidge, Rishad Hossain, Riley Meredith

Hobart Hurricanes Actual Playing XI:

Mitchell Owen, Beau Webster, Rehan Ahmed, Nikhil Chaudhary, Chris Jordan, Riley Meredith, Billy Stanlake, Matthew Wade, Ben McDermott, Rishad Hossain, Tim Ward

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The weather forecaster predicts overcast skies in Sydney. The wicket has been a tough one to bat on this season, as the two-paced nature of the surface has created doubts in the batsmen's minds. The average first-innings score is around 160 runs, and the team batting first would like to reach 180 on the board. 

SYS vs HBH Pitch Report

Sydney Cricket Ground is not the easiest surface to bat on, and the batsmen must get their eyes in before playing their strokes. Fast bowlers get bounce and carry from the surface. It is also the best wicket for the spinners in Australia, as the ball turns sharply on this track.

Toss: To Bowl

The wicket at the Sydney Cricket Ground has been slow this season. It won't be easy to set up a total, as we have seen twice this season when the team chasing the score won. We expect the side winning the toss to invite the opposition to bat first on this wicket.
