Sydney Sixers are favorites to win
Match 8 of the 2021-22 BBL sees Sydney Sixers meet Hobart Hurricanes at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday evening. Sydney Sixers have won two out of two and won the tournament in 2019-20 and 2020-21. The Hurricanes have played one and lost one after losing to the Sixers by 14 runs in Launceston earlier this week. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway at 18:35.
Sydney Sixers are already looking like a team who believe they can win their third successive BBL. They were made to work for the win on Wednesday but were up to the challenge.
Hobart Hurricanes need more from their top order batters. Three of their top four got out in the 20s and if they can kick on then the Hurricanes could be competitive.
Seven Network and Fox Sports will show this game in Australia. In India, you can watch it on Sony Six. Sky Cricket have the rights in the UK with Willow TV showing the match in the USA. In South Africa you can watch it on SuperSport with Sky Sports showing the game in New Zealand.
BBL Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar
Three of the last four games have seen the captain who wins the toss choose to bat first. However, these sides prefer to field first and we expect the skipper who wins the toss to insert the opposition.
There are always plenty of runs on offer at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Expect the spin bowlers to get plenty of assistance from the pitch.
Cloudy conditions with the temperature no higher than 18 degrees.

After inflicting a record breaking defeat on Melbourne Stars in their opening game of BBL 2021-22, Sydney Sixers were made to work a lot harder against Hobart Hurricanes but still got the win. They have returned to Sydney without any injuries and we expect to see the same XI in this match.
The Sixers have now won the last two BBLs and come into this game with five successive wins behind them.
Josh Philippe (wk), James Vince, Moises Henriques (c), Daniel Hughes, Jordan Silk, Dan Christian, Tom Curran, Hayden Kerr, Chris Jordan, Ben Manenti, Steve O’Keefe
Somerset’s Tom Lammonby, who had only signed for the Hurricanes a day earlier, made his BBL debut on Wednesday. There were plenty of starts for the Hurricanes’ batters in Launceston and they will be looking to kick on and contribute more in Sydney.
The Hurricanes have won only one of their last four BBL games and need to get off the mark in this campaign as soon as posible.
Matthew Wade (c) (wk), D’Arcy Short, Caleb Jewell, Peter Handscomb, Jordan Cox, Tim David, Tom Lammonby, Nathan Ellis, Joel Paris, Tom Rogers, Sandeep Lamichhane
Sydney Sixers have narrowed the deficit to only two games in the head-to-head against Hobart Hurricanes.
| Matches Played | SYS Won | HBH Won | Tie | NR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Overall | 15 | 6 | 8 | 0 | 1 |
The reigning champions are favourites to make it three wins from three games in this campaign.
Moises Henriques has been unstoppable in the tournament so far and will be looking for his third successive score in the 70s.
We are backing Josh Philippe, James Vince and Moises Henriques as are our batting tips for Sydney Sixers. Henriques has led the way for Sydney Sixers in the opening games.
For Hobart Hurricanes, Matthew Wade, D’Arcy Short and Peter Handscomb are our recommendations with the bat. With young Harry Brook waiting in the wings, the batters know they must deliver.
For Sydney Sixers, Tom Curran, Chris Jordan and Steve O’Keefe are our tips with the ball. We expect O’Keefe to enjoy the conditions at the SCG once again.
Nathan Ellis, Sandeep Lamichhane and Tom Rogers are our bowling picks for Hobart Hurricanes. Spinner Lamichhane will be keen to have a bowl on this pitch after seeing O’Keefe’s figures last weekend.
Although it is a new season, Sydney Sixers have lost none of their aura which has seen them win the BBL in both of the last two years. They were brilliant against Melbourne Stars and very strong in Launceston. We are predicting another win for Sydney Sixers in this match.
