Teams Analysis Before the Match:

The overall analysis of both teams gave you an idea about their playing combination and weak and strong links in their squad and you can make the right decision regarding the Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes prediction.

Sydney Sixers:

Sydney Sixers started this Big Bash League season with a comfortable victory over Renegades. Steve Smith has been in superb form winning 4 Man of the Match awards in his last five matches for Sixers. He was in great nick in the first match and made a quick half-century.

Moises Henriques played a crucial knock of 40 runs and Josh Philippe adding some runs in the top contributed to a good total for the team.

The bowling has been the strength of this team, Ben Dwarshius, Jackson Bird, and Steve O'Keefe were quite impressive in the first game. So, the Sixers have a great squad and will be a force to beat in this year's KFC Big Bash League 2023-24.

Hobart Hurricanes:

Hurricanes had a miserable Big Bash League Season last year where they couldn't qualify for the final stages of the competition. However, the team has gone through a major revamp in this draft and picked up talented players.

Management has done their part making a good combination of batting and bowling unit and settling down quality all rounders between them. Matthew Wade, Tim David, Ben McDermott, and Sam Hain are the key batsmen for this team and they would be looking to score runs for their team to stay in the hunt for their maiden BBL trophy. 

Nathan Ellis, Billy Stanlake, and Chris Jordan are quality pace bowlers who can change the course of the game in a spell. Hurricanes will have the services of Kiwi All-rounder Corey Anderson who might bring good fortune to the team. 

Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes prediction of the Upcoming Match:

The Sixers have won the first game of this season and are in great touch with the bowling and batting unit responding correctly.

However, the Hurricanes have a decent set of players but might fall short in the match against the Sixers.

Therefore, the Sydney Sixers vs Hobart Hurricanes prediction picks the Sixers as a favorite to walk away with the win in the 5th match of this competition.
