Head to Head

The Hobart Hurricanes have won three of their last four matches against the Sydney Thunder. They were meant to play two days ago, but the game was abandoned due to inclement weather.

Hobart Hurricanes Form

The Hobart Hurricanes are third on the table with four wins in six matches. One fixture was rained out, so they have only suffered one defeat.

In their last outing, the Hurricanes defeated the Adelaide Strikers by five wickets. Bowling first, the Strikers scored a very competitive 186 runs, but the wicket was very good for batting.

Mitchell Owen and Matthew Wade got off to a flying start, putting on 61 in 4.4 overs before the middle order struggled. Just as things started getting tight, in walked Tim David to smash 62 off 28 balls to secure the five-wicket win.

The Hurricanes last game was against these very opponents, but the game was rained out in Sydney without a ball being bowled.

There is no reason for the Hurricanes to tinker with their side ahead of this crucial match.

Sydney Thunder Form

The Sydney Thunder are second on the table, level on points with their opponents, but they have played a game more. The Thunder have played seven, won four, lost two with one no result.

In their last completed game, the Sydney Thunder lost by five wickets to the Brisbane Heat. David Warner, however, continued his good form with another half-century.

The fixture against the Hobart Hurricanes at home just two days ago was rained out without a ball being bowled.

The Thunder are likely to pick an unchanged side from the one that would have played the Hurricanes two days ago if rain had not arrived.
