Sydney Thunder are favourites to win
Sydney Thunder take on Hobart Hurricanes at the Marvel Stadium, Melbourne in the 2021-22 BBL on Thursday afternoon. The two sides met on Monday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground with Sydney Thunder winning easily by 9 wickets with 16 balls remaining. Read on as we preview this game. This BBL group stage fixture begins at 15:45 local time.
Sydney Thunder are currently a winning machine in the BBL and have not lost a game since Boxing Day. They had no problem in thrashing Hobart Hurricanes earlier in the week.
Hobart Hurricanes are always a dangerous side with Ben McDermott in the team. However, it would take a remarkable turnaround for them to win this match.
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.
Hobart Hurricanes won the toss and chose to bat first in the game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. We expect both skippers to elect to bat first in this match.
The surface at the Marvel Stadium will provide pace and bounce for the quick bowlers. The stroke making batters will also enjoy the pitch and we expect a par score to be around 185.
Partly cloudy with a high temperature of 28 degrees during the game in Melbourne.

With no players injured or isolating, there are no reasons for Sydney Thunder to make any changes to their XI in this game. The re-emergence of Alex Hales is a massive plus for the side and they have wicket takers throughout their bowling attack.
No team has been playing at such a high level as Sydney Thunder over recent games. They are the form side of the BBL at the moment.
Alex Hales, Matthew Gilkes, Jason Sangha (c), Daniel Sams, Oliver Davies, Ben Cutting, Baxter Holt (wk), Nathan McAndrew, Gurinder Sandhu, Tanveer Sangha, Mohammad Hasnain
Captain Matthew Wade will continue to be absent in this game and Harry Brook will also be missing after receiving a late call-up to England’s T20 side for the tour of the Caribbean. We expect to see Jake Doran come into the side to replace Brook.
Although they picked up a victory against Brisbane Heat on Saturday, Hobart Hurricanes have been in poor form over the last few games.
Ben Mcdermott (wk), Caleb Jewell, Peter Handscomb (c), Jake Doran, D’Arcy Short, Tim David, Jordan Thompson, Mitchell Owen, Tom Rogers, Riley Meredith, Sandeep Lamichhane
Hobart Hurricanes have a two game lead in the head to head but were well beaten in Monday’s match against Sydney Thunder.

Sydney Thunder are strong favourites to win this match.
Alex Hales has found his form over the last two games and will be looking to outscore Ben McDermott the tournament’s leading run scorer.
Alex Hales, Jason Sangha and Matthew Gilkes are our batting tips for Sydney Thunder. Hales has struck half-centuries in the last two BBL games.
Ben McDermott, Peter Handscomb and Caleb Jewell are our batting recommendations for Hobart Hurricanes. McDermott made only 38 on Monday but still top scored for his side.
For Sydney Thunder, Mohammad Hasnain, Daniel Sams and Tanveer Sangha are our bowling tips. We expect Hasnain to enjoy the surface at the Marvel Stadium.
For Hobart Hurricanes, Tom Rogers, Riley Meredith and Sandeep Lamichhane are our bowling tips. Meredith is another pace bowler who will relish bowling on the pitch in this game.
Hobart Hurricanes do have the leading run scorer in the tournament in Ben McDermott but they will find themselves up against a Sydney Thunder side with plenty of winning momentum. We are predicting Sydney Thunder to get their second win over Hobart Hurricanes in four days.
