Hobart Hurricanes Team News & Playing 11
Their top-order batsmen all got starts in the first game against Melbourne Renegades but the Hurricanes will need some big knocks from them against Sydney Thunder. George Bailey, Daniel Christian and Matthew Wade are seasoned campaigners and it will be mainly up to them to make the team's scorecard look good. Tymal Mills and Jofra Archer will be the ones to watch out for with the ball. The latter is coming off figures of 2-17 and the fast bowler will be expected to do some early damage here.

Sydney Thunder Team News & Playing 11
The top three - Jos Buttler, Kurtis Patterson and Shane Watson - form the backbone of the team's batting. Watson smashed his second fifty of the season against Brisbane Heat and is currently leading the runs charts of BBL 2017/18. Mitchell McClenaghan who took two wickets in that game is the biggest threat in this pace attack while Arjun Nair is the best spin option for the Thunder. The off-spinner is amongst the season's top bowlers with six wickets in three matches.

Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder Prediction
Both teams are coming into this match having faced defeats in their last match and they will want to leave no stone unturned when they meet on Saturday night. Sydney Thunder will feel more pressure here after losing their last two matches in a row but they certainly do have the resources to script a strong comeback. Hobart Hurricanes however have the upper hand as they boast tremendous record against the Thunder. Out of the six matches between these two sides, five have been won by the former and only one by the latter. With both teams pretty evenly matched on paper, it seems better to back the Hurricanes for a win.
