HUR vs SIX Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's BBL Match - Dec 10th, 2020
Match 1 of the Big Bash League (BBL) 2020-21 has the Hobart Hurricanes taking on defending champions Sydney Sixers at the Bellerive Oval on Thursday.
The home side, the Hurricanes, have made a few moves in the off-season. They've brought in Peter Handscomb, who will lead them in the absence of regular captain Matthew Wade. With D'Arcy Short and Colin Ingram part of the batting unit, the Hurricanes look set for a long run in this tournament.
Their opponents, the Sydney Sixers, haven't made many changes to their trophy-winning squad. While the loss of Tom Curran due to bubble fatigue could be detrimental to their fortunes, they acquired Daniel Christian and Carlos Brathwaite to bolster their lineup. With the likes of Josh Philippe and Daniel Hughes on the roster, the Sixers will feel optimistic of their chances heading into the new season.
Both teams look evenly matched ahead of this encounter, but the Hurricanes might have a slight edge due to the wealth of experience they have at their disposal. However, the Sixers can never be written off, paving the way for a brilliant contest at the Blundstone Arena in Hobart to kickstart the new BBL season.

Pitch Report
The pitch at the Bellerive Oval is expected to slightly favour the batsmen, with the boundaries not being too big. The ball should come nicely onto the bat in the powerplay, and not much help is expected for the pacers. The spinners could get some purchase in the latter half of the innings to even out the contest between bat and ball.
With this being a Day-Night fixture, both teams will look to chase under the lights. 170 should be par at this venue, but both sides are capable of breaching this score with ease.
