Big Bash League 2022-23, Match 42, Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Thunder: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
Hobart Hurricanes will lock horns with Sydney Thunder in Match No.42 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 on Sunday (January 15). The match will take place at the Bellerive Oval.
The Hurricanes, captained by Nathan Ellis, have had a topsy-turvy campaign thus far. Having lost five out of their nine matches, the team is placed sixth in the points with a net run rate of -0.392. However, a two-wicket win over the Melbourne Stars in their last outing should give them some confidence.
After opting to field first, they restricted the Stars to 131 for the loss of seven wickets. Riley Meredith, skipper Ellis and Faheem Ashraf picked up two wickets apiece. Thereafter, Caleb Jewell scored 70 off 44 and took the Hurricanes past the finish line with 14 balls left.
The Thunder, led by Chris Green, aren’t in the greatest of positions either. Losing five out of 10 matches, they are positioned fifth in the points table with a net run rate of -0.305. However, a win could take them to the third spot, which is occupied by the Melbourne Renegades.
They will go into the game after back-to-back losses at the hands of the Sydney Sixers and Perth Scorchers. Against the Scorchers, they faced a heavy nine-wicket defeat. After being bowled out for 111, their bowlers bore the brunt of some powerful hitting from the Scorchers’ batters.
