The win in the last game will have given Hobart Hurricanes plenty of confidence and, with their skipper returning to the side, they will have plenty of belief that they can get a victory in this match.
Sydney Thunder were challenging at the top of the table at the start of 2023 but they have rapidly fallen down the table over the last couple of weeks. It will take a big turnaround to get a win in Hobart.

Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
HUR Team News
After missing the two wicket win against Melbourne Stars due to personal reasons, we expect captain Matthew Wade to return to the Hurricanes XI for this match. We expect left-arm spinner Tom Andrews to be left out in the only change from Match 35.
HUR Key Players
- Ben McDermott- the 28 year old opener has not been as prolific as in previous seasons but averages 40.36 at this venue and could get his season going with a big knock in this match.
- Caleb Jewell- the left-handed opener has been in fine form since the start of 2023. He has hit scores of 54, 54 and 70 from his four innings so far this year.
- Riley Meredith- the 26 year old right arm fast bowler dismissed both Beau Webster and James Seymour in the last game to take him to 13 wickets for this campaign.
Hobart Hurricanes ended a two-match losing streak with the narrow win over Melbourne Stars. A win in this match will give them a real chance of making the play-offs.

Sydney Thunder Team News & Playing 11
THU Team News
David Warner made his first appearance of BBL12 in Friday’s heavy defeat to Perth Scorchers at the Sydney Showground Stadium. No players came out of that game with any injury complaints and we expect the team management to stick with the same XI for this clash.
THU Key Players
- David Warner- the left-handed aggressive opener hit two fours in his 20-ball innings on Friday. In a team lacking confidence, a big innings from Warner would go a long way to helping the side.
- Oliver Davies- the 22 year old continues to impress in BBL 2022-23 and hit his third half-century in four matches against Perth Scorchers. He hit 65 against the Hurricanes on New Year’s Eve.
- Nathan McAndrew- the 29 year old right-arm fast medium bowler picked up the only wicket for Sydney Thunder on Friday and has 12 in total for the season.
Sydney Thunder are in danger of dropping out of the top five places at the wrong time of the season. They are looking to avoid a third successive defeat in this match.
