The Sydney Sixers are on a roll in the BBL14 season, expected to secure their fifth consecutive win against the Hobart Hurricanes. The Sixers' bowling attack, led by Ben Dwarshuis with 10 wickets in four matches, remains unmatched. Despite some batting sparks from the Hurricanes, their inconsistency is a concern, having allowed opponents significant scores. Betting experts suggest backing the Sixers to cover the short handicap, as well as Ben Dwarshuis as the top bowler. With Sydney showing better away results, they are favorites heading into the match.

Sydney have taken down their cross-town rivals, the rejuvenated Renegades as well as the defending Champs in Brisbane as part of their 4 wins so far this year with their pedigree unmatchable. In the most recent matchup it was Josh Philippe with the bat but Ben Dwarshuis has been one of the best players of the BBL14 campaign thus far.

The Sydney tall has taken 10 wickets in 4 games played, the most of any bowler as well as sticking around the two times he has had to bat, hitting 14* and 20* to keep his team on top. 

The Hurricanes had a massive falter against the Renegades in their second game of the season but returned to the winners circle against the Strikers last start. Despite winning they allowed their opponent to score 203 runs which is a dangerous trend coming up against this stacked Sixers team.

It is a relatively short handicap so back the Sixers to cover in this one, the total is set high but i am not convinced this Hurricanes batting lineup can help get there. Err on the side of caution and take the Under. Sixers to hit most fours is a given while Dwarshuis as best bowler is a lock until he shows us otherwise!

  • Sydney have covered in 3 out of 4 victories this season.
  • 2 of Hobart’s 3 games have gone Under this total as did Sydney’s most recent game. The League average is 319 heading into NYE matches.
  • Hobart gave up 14 fours in their first home game, Sydney have been better at restricting opponents boundaries on the road than any other team in the league.
  • Ben Dwarshuis has taken 10 wickets in 4 games including a four wicket haul in his most recent matchup.

Hobart Hurricanes Form


Hobart took out the Adelaide Strikers in their most recent game, on the road in the highest scoring game so far of the BBL14 season. They ended up winning by 11 runs after batting first and setting a 214 total from their 20 overs, dropping only 5 wickets in the process.

Ben McDermott came in at number 4 with the Hurricanes at 2-64 then blasted an unbeaten 68 off 34 balls which included 3 fours and 5 sixes. Tim David added 33 off 14 late in the game hitting 4 fours and 2 sixes in his little cameo lifting the run rate. 

The visitors were looking shaky to start the 2nd innings, not breaking through with a wicket until the 7th over with the score at 76. As the game progressed some key wickets were taken at the right times to hold the run rate at an acceptable level. Chris Jordan took two in the match while Stanlake, Ellis, Salamkheil and Chaudhary all took one each.

Hobart have won their single home game played this season beating Perth by 8 wickets with 4 balls remaining but did allow 14 fours to their opponents.

Sydney Sixers Form


The Sydney Sixers are undefeated through their first 4 games of BBL14 and have installed themselves as favourites to take out the Championship following their big win over defending champs the Brisbane Heat in their most recent matchup. 

The Sixers kept their opponent to a measly 138 runs, picking up 9 wickets in their 20 overs bowling first. Ben Dwarshuis took 4 wickets in his 4 overs at an economy rate of 8 per over. Hayden Kerr and Todd Murphy both contributed with 2 wickets each.

Josh Philippe hit a match high 66 not out with Kurtis Patterson helping the total along as number 3 with a 32 off 20 balls. Moises Henriques was again not out as he hit 29 off 27 to ensure the competition leaders hit the target with 23 balls remaining.

Sydney have won all 4 bat-flips this season and have had more success restricting opponents to boundaries on the road than at home.
