Sydney Sixers Form
The Sixers tightened up the standings on Thursday with a solid 6 wicket victory over the Melbourne Stars with 17 balls remaining. They are now tied with Melbourne and Perth on 8 pts from 7 games played with a 4-3 record.
Sydney’s bowling attack had to wait until the 6th over to get their first wicket while 4 of the top 5 Stars batsmen all scored 20+. But the rest of the batting order dropped like flies. 6 wickets with a combined total of 9 runs, Ben Dwarshuis taking 4 for 13 in an amazing 4 over spell. Jack Edwards also took 3 wickets for 27 runs.
With a low total to chase, the Sixers were rightfully confident coming out to bat but Babar Azam once again failed to reach 15 runs with Moises Henriques also going for 12. Josh Philippe was once again the saviour posting a game high 35 runs to steer his team to victory.
Hobart Hurricanes Form
Hobart remain the outright leaders of BBL15 as they continue to set the bar high in their title defence. Their most recent win came by 37 runs against Adelaide, Mitch Owen blasting 33 runs off 9 balls before mistiming a shot and being caught out. No other batsman shone as bright and the 178 run total looked dangerous.
But the bowling attack was once again the saviour, striking already in the 2nd over and keeping all but 2 batters to single digits. Rishad Hossain taking 3 wickets off his 4 overs and giving up just 26 runs.
The Hurricanes are blasting an average of 14.2 fours per game which drops slightly to 11.8 in games on the road but their totals are consistently going over 330.
