HUR vs SIX T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, BBL 2023
Match 5 of the 2023 Big Bash League sees Hobart Hurricanes take on Sydney Sixers in Launceston on Monday evening. This will be the first time Hobart Hurricanes play in this year’s tournament whereas Sydney Sixers got off to a winning start against Melbourne Renegades at the SCG on Friday. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 19:15 local time.
Hobart Hurricanes have brought together a very strong group of players ahead of this year’s tournament. However, they are up against a very strong side who have already got their first game out of the way. The Hurricanes will need to start well in this match to give themselves an opportunity to win.
Sydney Sixers are a brilliant BBL side and they showed ability to get over the line in a close contest to get their season underway. Although they will be without Steve Smith in this game, they should have enough talent to make it two wins from two.

Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HUR Team News
Although the Hurricanes have had to be patient waiting for their first game of the BBL 2023, it has been to their advantage with none of their players carrying any injuries. They also have no players on international duty so will be able to select their best XI on Monday.
HUR Key Players
- Ben McDermott- the keeper-batter has a brilliant BBL record and also comes into this game in strong form including a half-century in the final T20I against India and a century in the Marsh Cup over his last three innings.
- Matthew Wade- the skipper led Australia during the T20I series against India and produced some excellent scores at the end of the innings. However, he is likely to bat higher up the order in this match.
- Nathan Ellis- the Australian white ball international has a striker-rate of 12.5 from 12 T20Is. He is vastly experienced with 152 T20 wickets across his career.
- Riley Meredith- the tall left-arm quick bowler had struggled with fitness earlier this summer but is now fully fit and ready to build on his best T20 bowling figures of 4/21 in this match.
HUR Team Form
Hobart Hurricanes missed out on the play-pffs by one point last year in spite of winning their final group stage game.

Two very strong teams go head to head in this game and it would be no surprise if both made it to the end of season play-offs. The Hurricanes have home advantage but we are backing Sydney Sixers as the top team who looked very sharp in their opener.
🏆 Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Sixers Prediction
In very unlike Australian summer conditions, this could be an interesting contest in Tasmania. Hobart Hurricanes have a strong group of experienced players and their pace bowling attack should enjoy the conditions on offer. Sydney Sixers also have an excellent group of bowlers and they started the season well with bat and ball against the Renegades. We expect a close match with Sydney Sixers coming out on top.
