Big Bash League 2022-23, Match 53, Hobart Hurricanes vs Sydney Sixers: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, and Live Streaming Details
The Hobart Hurricanes and Sydney Sixers will lock horns in Match No.53 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2022-23 on Monday, January 23. The match will take place at the Bellerive Oval.
The Hurricanes, led by Matthew Wade, are placed seventh in the points table with 10 points and a net run rate of -0.300. But with two matches left, they have every chance of breaking into the top five and playing in the playoffs. But a loss would put the skids under them.
They will be a tad low on confidence after losing their last two matches. The Hurricanes will go into the match after a 12-run defeat at the hands of the Brisbane Heat. After being asked to chase down 163, the Hurricanes managed to score only 150 for six.
The Sixers, in the meantime, lost their chance to finish as table-toppers after the Perth Scorchers defeated the Melbourne Renegades by 10 runs at the Perth Stadium. The Sixers are assured of a second-place finish regardless of the result in their final group match.
The Sixers are currently on a five-match winning streak and will go into their next match after beating the Sydney Thunder by 125 runs. Steve Smith became the Player of the Match in the 19-over game after he joined an elite list of batters with back-to-back T20 hundreds.
