THE LOWDOWN

HOBART HURRICANES

• Hobart Hurricanes are still in with a chance of finishing inside those play-off places, almost entirely due to their home form and they’ll need another positive result here on their own patch to keep qualification in their hands.
• All five of Hobart’s victories in this season’s men’s BBL so far has been at home, a big confidence booster for them following consecutive defeats on the road.

SYDNEY SIXERS

• From a Sydney Sixers perspective there is little at stake here with second-place secure in the table and a showdown with Perth Scorchers for a spot in the men’s BBL final.
• All eyes will likely be on Steve Smith (should he play) and whether he can record a hat-trick of T20 centuries for the Sixers following his career best 125 not out against Sydney Thunder.

THE PREDICTION

The reality for Sydney Sixers is that the outcome of this match means very little to them compared to their opponents. When taking into account the travel, it would be no surprise at all if they were to give a number of key players a rest, which would understandably play into the Hurricanes’ hands. For the hosts, this is simply must win and playing on a ground where they have been afforded so much success already this season is a huge advantage for them. Hobart’s expected superior desire to be victorious here is likely to show on the pitch, so back them to secure the points.
